it MAY be valid but not subject to being enforced.
Re: Signed Contracts
You may have a valid oral contract depending upon the circumstances. However, typically a written contract must be signed by the party against whom you seek to enforce it. There are exceptions. For example, if it wasn't signed but there is a history of them performing under the contract you could probably prove the contract. If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to call my office.

A contract is only valid if both parties to the contract sign it and agree to the terms and conditions.
If only one party has signed it, then it is an offer until either withdrawn, expired or accepted.
