S.A. 2001, c. E-5.5, ss. 27-29 · Read the law's page
- Treat an offer, an acceptance or any other matter material to the formation or operation of a contract as capable of being expressed by information or a record in electronic form, or by an act intended to result in electronic communication such as touching or clicking on an appropriate icon or other place on a computer screen, unless the parties otherwise agree (s. 27).
- Treat a contract formed by the interaction of an electronic agent and a person, or by the interaction of electronic agents, as capable of binding the parties (s. 28).
- If your electronic agent deals with people, give them an opportunity to prevent or correct a material error in the electronic information or record used in the transaction; where it does not, the transaction has no legal effect if the person promptly notifies you of the error and, where consideration was received, returns or destroys it as you instruct or otherwise deals with it reasonably and does not benefit materially from it (s. 29).
