Copyright Act 1998, No. 25 (Samoa), s. 4(1)(b) (protection of collections and databases) · Read the law's page

• Do not reproduce a collection of works or of data, including a database, whose selection, coordination, or arrangement is original, without the authorisation of the collection's author or other copyright owner, unless a specific exception such as quotation or news reporting applies.

Electronic Transactions Act 2008, No. 15 (Samoa), ss. 4, 8 (consent to electronic records and electronic signatures) · Read the law's page

• Where a service's terms condition access to the site on a user's or automated agent's acceptance, expect that acceptance may be found from conduct alone, since Samoan law lets consent to use an electronic record be inferred from a person's conduct rather than requiring a signed or clicked agreement.
• Do not rely on an electronic signature to satisfy a signature requirement unless it identifies the signatory, indicates their approval, is as reliable as the purpose requires, and the recipient consents to receiving it.
