Title 22<\/strong>
\nPromise to fulfil an obligation; acknowledgement of debt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Section 780<\/strong>
\nPromise to fulfil an obligation<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a contract by means of which performance is promised in such a way that the mere promise is intended to establish the duty (promise to fulfil an obligation) to be valid, to the extent that no other form is specified, it is necessary for the commitment to be made in writing. The commitment may not be made in electronic form.<\/p>\n

Section 781<\/strong>
\nAcknowledgement of a debt<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a contract by which the existence of an obligation is acknowledged (acknowledgement of debt) to be valid, the declaration of acknowledgement must be made in writing. The declaration of acknowledgement may not be made in electronic form. If another form is prescribed to create the obligation whose existence is being acknowledged, then the acknowledgement contract requires this form.<\/p>\n

Section 782<\/strong>
\nNo formal requirements for settlement<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a promise to fulfil an obligation or an acknowledgement of a debt is made on the basis of a statement of account or by way of a settlement, then observance of the written form specified in sections 780 and 781 is not required.<\/p>\n
