S.N.S. 2000, c. 26, ss. 20-23 · Read the law's page
- Treat an offer, an acceptance or another matter material to a contract that is expressed by an electronic document, or by touching or clicking on an appropriately designated icon or place on a computer screen, or otherwise communicating electronically in a manner intended to express it, as capable of forming a contract, unless the parties agree otherwise (s. 21(1)).
- Do not assume that a contract is denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic document was used in its formation (s. 21(2)).
- Treat a contract formed by the interaction of an electronic agent and a natural person, or by the interaction of electronic agents, as capable of binding the parties (s. 22).
- If your electronic agent deals with natural persons, give them an opportunity to prevent or correct an error in an electronic document; where it does not, the document has no legal effect if the person 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. 23).
