- Treat terms you accept by touching or clicking on an appropriately designated icon or place on a computer screen, or by otherwise communicating electronically in a manner intended to express acceptance, as capable of forming a contract, unless the parties agree otherwise (s. 15 (1)).
- Do not assume that a contract is invalid or unenforceable solely because information or a record in electronic form was used in its formation (s. 15 (2)).
- Treat a contract formed by the interaction of an electronic agent and an individual, or by the interaction of electronic agents, as capable of binding the parties (s. 16).
- If your electronic agent deals with individuals, give them an opportunity to prevent or correct an error in an electronic record; where it does not, the record is invalid and unenforceable if the individual notifies you of the material error as soon as practicable, takes reasonable steps to return any consideration, and has used or received no material benefit from it (s. 17).
