FIGURED OUT, THANKS!

lol that is nowhere near close to being a binding legal document, if that's what you're going for.

Depends whether both parties are either 18+, or legally emancipated (assuming both are in the US).

This is a legally binding contract. Not all contracts have to be long. For example, if you messaged me "I will give you three apples for every ten gallons of gas you use" and I accepted, then it is a valid contract.

What if both parties are not 18+ or emancipated? Would it still be valid?

Also, the point of the contract is so they don't have to pay upfront for the tickets, and can return unsold tickets.

hmm... would it just be easier having ticket sellers pay upfront? Most people would think that's really sketchy :/

What event are you hosting?

I host big parties in NYC for teenagers between the ages of 14-18. (alcohol is not served at the venue)

And you're how old?

 

[Hype1]

And you're how old?

16. However, my father rents the venues in his name, and he's obviously over 18.

Well, I wouldn't go near anything to do with 14-18 year olds... the probability of something bad happening is like 12/10... Best of luck.

No. Get your, and their parents to cosign the contract.

yeah buddy but good luck trying to ever actually do anything with a contract like that!

The actual example was pretty bad, but an agreement over text, a messaging system, or orally is legally binding.
