You're welcome! I'm also not a lawyer, but have encountered my share of

On re reading what I wrote I realise I didn't phrase this point very 
well. I found it strange that the agreement contained a commitment to 
sent the agreement by email when the commitment only becomes active when 
that action has already occurred. I also can see no reason to constrain 
a person to one means of transmission - if an individual has concerns 
like I voiced about email why not allow him to send a paper copy?
