Can a WhatsApp chat be legally accepted as a proof of an agreed business deal?

Normally, business deals are always sealed with a written document duly signed by parties involved. But let's look at this from this angle.

If I agree a business deal with someone comprehensively on WhatsApp, can that chat be considered a legal business agreement?

That's what I consulted on. And it's legally acceptable if you agreed on everything properly and you have evidence of those WhatsApp chats. No worries, Many used that method several times and it's worked great.

In my country, WhatsApp chats can be used as valid legal evidence to fulfill business agreements.

Your country is progressive. WhatsApp in. Appreciates that a lot of folks have adopted digital means.
Way to go.

Yes i believe a Whatsapp chat can be legally accepted as proof, as long as it is clear and contains the needed details.
