Signature Not Mandatory for Arbitration Clause When Parties’ Conduct Evidences Acceptance | Section 8 Referral on Invoice Clause : Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court ruled that an arbitration clause embedded in an invoice, though unsigned, is enforceable if the parties’ subsequent conduct indicates assent, allowing a Section 8 application to refer the dispute to arbitration. This clarifies that a physical signature is not essential for arbitration agreements, benefiting businesses relying on conduct-based acceptance.
