S.Nu. 2004, c. 7, ss. 16-18 · Read the law's page

  • Treat an offer, an acceptance or another matter material to the formation or operation of a contract that is expressed electronically, including by touching or clicking an appropriately designated icon or place on a computer screen, 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, the transaction is not enforceable by you if the individual promptly notifies you of the error, returns or destroys any consideration as you instruct or otherwise deals with it reasonably, and does not benefit materially from it (s. 18).
