S.N.W.T. 2011, c. 13, ss. 1, 16-18 · Read the law's page
- Treat an offer or an acceptance expressed 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 it, as capable of forming a contract, unless the parties agree otherwise (s. 16(1)).
- Do not assume that a contract is invalid or unenforceable solely because it is in electronic form or because an electronic document was used in its formation (s. 16(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. 17).
- If your electronic agent deals with individuals, give them an opportunity to prevent or correct a material error; where it does not, and the individual promptly notifies you of the error and meets the further conditions in s. 18, the transaction is not enforceable by you (s. 18).
