R.S.Y. 2002, c. 66, ss. 19-22 · Read the law's page

  • Treat an offer or 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. 20(1)).
  • Do not assume that a contract is without legal effect or unenforceable solely because an electronic document was used in its formation (s. 20(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. 21).
  • If your electronic agent deals with individuals, give them an opportunity to prevent or correct a material error in an electronic document; where it does not, the document is not enforceable by you if the individual notifies you of the error as soon as practicable, takes reasonable steps to return any consideration and has used or received no material benefit from it (s. 22).
