So you tell me how the rental place brings the document to court? Or are you saying that the rules of civil court have changed and you no longer have to produce the binding agreement which gives you reason to bring suit?
You are correct. Anyone can sue anyone else. Winning is different.
Without the ability to produce a document with the OP's digital signature upon it, the validity of that document can be called into question. Now, this may not matter since the OP didn't actually GET a copy of the document at the time of signing. ANYTHING could have been written into that document above the signature line prior to court.
Bringing into court a random document and saying, "the OP signed one like this" without producing one with the OP's signature will not be validated by most courts.
I am still confused as to the purpose of a deposit. What, exactly, was a deposit for if not to pay for the replacement and/or damage of the board?
Ya know, OP, I just had another thought. It wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for an enterprising group of youths to go around a resort, gather up rental boards and return them for the deposit. Have you asked the rental company if they have checked their inventory to see if the board and bindings in question were already returned? I find it hard to believe that anyone in their right mind would keep a rental board as a personal one.
If they don't have tracking numbers on the boards themselves, have you asked if they have done a total count to see if they have all the boards and bindings they are supposed to have?
