Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: no contract for a graphics joc via internet

When working without a written contract, the intentions of the parties are generally determined from any other correspondence, communication, or other evidence related to the transaction which can form the basis of a verbal contract. As such, this information would need to be reviewed to determine if the work was performed according to the intentions of the parties. If the intentions of the parties cannot be determined from this evidence, then the law applies what's called "implied warranties" for merchantability and "fitness for a particular purpose." Whether or not your work conformed to these warranties would depend upon your specific situation. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss.

I concur with Dan, adding that the e-mails may form the basis of a contract. Suit may be brought, and the e-mails will determine if there was a contract and what were its terms. You do not say what, if anything, was contained in the e-mails about the delivery date, and if anything was said about late performance. These are the critical elements for a damage claim against you.
