I hate to be a stickler for details, but I feel I must comment on your
use of the word "verbal."  May I suggest that you meant that "oral
contracts are binding."  Some do use "verbal" as a synonymn of
"oral", but in fact a written contract is also verbal in the sense that
it is expressed in words.  "Oral" really seems the better choice here
because it is unambiguous.
