QUESTION

Do I have a case?

Asked on Jan 08th, 2018 on Contracts - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I signed a contract to book a wedding venue. The contract states no refunds under and circumstances. I requested a copy of the signed contract for my records but when they sent a copy it was not signed by the business. I made multiple attempts to receive a completed contract signed by the company with no results. Is the contract still valid?

As a general rule, where a contract is requried to be in writing (depending on whether your contract could be performed within a year, i.e. when the booking was for, this was probably nor required to be in writing), that means it has to be in writing signed by the party to be charged, i.e. the party against whom the other party is seeking to enforce the contract or get damages for its breach.  In other words, even assuming this contract was required to be in writing, you signed it and are probably bound by it.  The situation could be different if the contract expressly states that it will not be valid unless signed by both parties.
