I would reccomend that if you are remote, that you email and have them
print it, sign it, and fax it back (or scan + email back).   A
pen-signed doc, even if faxed or scanned, will still hold up in court.

You could run into a mess with email.

Quick off the top of my head thoughts -

How do you know that the email was passed to the correct people?
How do you that it was not changed and you have an old email?

I would think that worse case you would have to prove that your email
has not been modified...ect.. With
A paper contract you have everything in front of you.

I beg your pardon but I would like to extend the question.

Usually in which form the waiver is presented: by email or signed paper?
I guess it may depend on local law, anyone can confirm from his/her
practice?
