A verbal contract is one in which the agreement (i.e., contract) is made by the spoken word, not the written word.

Generally no, but this is changing as more businesses use electronic communications to create email contracts that are binding. Because it cannot be proven that the person who transmitted the e-mail and/or received it are, in fact, the principals to the agreement, or not. For contractual situations it is always preferred to execute a document with notarized signatures.
