    Contract Only Legally Binding When Signed ?

    I expressed email & verbal acceptance to an agency subject to satisfactory review of contract but would like to 100% pull out due to absence of certain benefits and different clauses than what was previously promised by the unscrupulous cowboys, despite several ongoing negotiations. Contract has not yet been signed.

    This would be perfectly okay from legal standpoint, as nothing as been signed yet , is that right ?

    Certainly, if the review statement was made and the reviews aren't satisfactory.

    In reality it's unlikely even if you had signed it that any legal action would be taken.

      Ring them up and ask them to change the contract otherwise you won't sign, that's fine. What you thought you had agreed to on the phone and per e-mail isn't what they sent you. In other words they've breached any prior agreement.
      I'm alright Jack

        If you have not signed a contract, but you have physically gone on site or started the work, this is deemed to be the equivalent of signing the contract.
