Faxing/scanning contracts

[Terry Royce]

I do not have access to a fax machine very much and/or easily.

However, can you sign, scan and send contracts and have them be valid if you include a phrase such as : The Parties agree that both facsimile and all other electronic copies of signatures to this Agreement shall be treated as original signatures, binding both the Assignee and Assignor to their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement to the same extent as if such signatures were original signatures.
