The GC may be testing your business skills with this. Write the contract! Write it fair and equitably! Make sure it is signed in RED ink. That way any judge will know if one is the original or a photocopy!

I can't imagine a situation where it would matter if it were an original or photocopy. People sign faxes every day and those are legally binding. People even sign digital touch pads with a nylon stylus and that is legally binding.

If you ever attempt to record a document with the county recorder and it is not signed in black ink, they will reject it.

The red ink clause is a pre PDA thing. I have had to use it when dealing with attorneys a few times.
