This is correct... But if you have a juristic Problem you need
"Beweise". And Webmails and all this protocols are the same like
faxes.

IANAL, but I don't think that's entirely correct: by Swiss law, most
contracts 
don't require any specific form (just agreement over the terms). They
can be 
made orally (not leaving any trace, really), on phone, by letter,
under 
circumstances even by just ACTING like you agreed (i.e. mail order
business 
that sends you goods after you've ordered them) and by extension most
likely 
by email as well.

There's a select number of contracts that need a specific form (for
instance, 
buying real estate) but far and by large, people are free to make
them in any 
form they like. 

Another example: buying something in Migros makes you and Migros
enter a 
contract by law (Kaufvertrag), even though neither one of you
actually does 
say so.

As for a German page: IIRC, Germany has a concept of a
"Taschengeldparagraph" 
which basically should allow minors to enter contracts as far as
their 
allowances can cover them. 


regards,
Gabriel
