T 3.14 Misjudgement of the legal force of a fax

If fast decisions are required, postal dispatches are frequently avoided by transmitting important documents or information to the business partner by fax. The parties involved often do not take into account that these documents are not always considered legally binding in case of a lawsuit. In this case, customers do not have to accept orders, promises need not be kept. Deadlines for legal remedies may expire, even though the fax was sent in time.
