The appellants, having admitted in their pleadings to securing the loan from the respondent and failing to disprove the outstanding liability, are bound by the contract and jointly and severally liable for the outstanding amount. The trial court correctly analyzed the evidence, and the admission of electronic evidence was proper as no objection was raised at trial and authenticity was established orally.
