Questions from Durban
Is a contract signed online valid in Durban?
Yes. Under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, electronic signatures are valid for most agreements anywhere in South Africa, including Durban. Exceptions include property sales, long leases of 20 years or more, wills and documents that must be witnessed.
Do I need a Durban attorney to use these templates?
No, not for everyday agreements. The templates are starting points written for South African law. For high-value, unusual or disputed matters, have an admitted attorney in KwaZulu-Natal review your document.
Where do I go if a client in Durban won't pay?
For claims up to R20 000 you can use the Small Claims Court in your magisterial district, with no lawyer needed. A signed contract or acknowledgement of debt makes your claim much stronger.
Is Kontrak based in Durban?
