Electronic ContractingEssay title: Electronic ContractingThe long-term effectiveness of electronic contracting will indeed be determined by the courts. Assuming that the use of the electronic contract will become more widespread, the potential to speed business dealings will become almost endless. With the electronic contract, whether it is a standard automated licensing agreement or a formal contract written for a specific case requiring an electronic signature, both time and money could be saved. With the electronic contract, the need of human processing of electronic commerce will no longer be needed though the system may have to become more formal. “Internet commerce was often characterized by a surprising lack of automation because information entered into Web forms was often received and processed by the Web site operator as if it were a fax or telex, without any automation at all. If this switch from human processes to machine processes is successful, it will require a greater degree of formalization of business custom and practice than was true with the first or second generation of electronic commerce.” (Winn, 2002)
Much of the formalization will indeed be in the form of ensuring authenticity. The Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act gives e-signatures the same force as if they were printed on paper. An e-contract can be in the form of a “Click to Agree” contract, which is commonly used when downloading software or gaining use to sites such as eBay: The user clicks an “I Agree” button which is usually preceded by the sites user agreement policy. Because there is no notary present to identify the signer there must be passwords, identifying code words and the like to help to identify the person as the correct individual. “Since a traditional ink signature isnt possible on an electronic contract, people use several different ways to indicate their electronic signatures, including typing the signers name into the signature area, pasting in a scanned version of the signers signature, clicking an “I Accept” button, or using cryptographic “scrambling” technology. “Cryptography is the science of securing information.”” (Nolo.com)Without these security measures, issues of fraud and identity theft would be a constant threat.
Another problem with the electronic contract is that it will have to be constantly revised as e-commerce develops. There are more and more technologies created every day and with the ever changing way we use information technology, more and more laws are sure to be written to compensate for these changes. Also, as software becomes outdated, old contracts and file systems will have to be integrated into new systems. Unlike hard copy documents which never go out of style, electronic documents are only viewable if the computer they are on has the appropriate software to run them. Should an entire system crash, without back-ups, all of the electronically stored information would be lost forever.
The Electronic Property Bill Act 2015 also gives state’s a right to take back control of your data. However, this right may expire at any time for any reason, unless a new legal document that’s legally binding is filed with the court within 10 days of the date the new document is filed. In most cases, such a lawsuit could be filed on your behalf or your own behalf by you alone. For instance, law enforcement can not file a lawsuit against a friend or family member for not having a secure electronic document, but might seek an injunction to prevent the friend or family member from collecting your information. For instance, a friend or family member may be unable to use an e-file to check their tax information that they’ve not applied for. You could make up the story if you want.
This is where the new state could allow you to lose you access to your data in this country.
While it could be technically possible to opt out, the way you would see this is that law enforcement would have the authority to demand that a user access and store their data or to compel access, which is clearly contrary to your privacy rights and right to the data.
In most states, a person who has access to your information would be required to decrypt, and the data collected through using e-copies or other forms of digital advertising on your behalf could be used for that purpose. Your only recourse would be to keep your identity a secret when using government agencies and data centers, without your permission or the prior consent of the user using that data. (Some states allow public agencies and databases to run your identity or email to the extent they have permission.)
This is one of the main reasons there’s a great deal of confusion around this issue. Some people believe the data is being lost or stolen simply because they want to keep your identity a secret, but if that’s true, then the law is already ripe for misuse, no matter their status.
In many circumstances, state’s have the power to compel some or all of our data under various rules, such as requiring that we store your name and any address where you have lived for more than 5 years (a list that includes every person you have ever met by mailing you a personal identification number) to help us verify your identity. For instance, if you use Gmail for business, you would be required to submit all of this information to help determine its origin. That information would be available when you use the service for business purposes, but might not be available when you receive Gmail or sign up for it via your account or for the same services you use.
When the laws are not clear, the state’s aren’t completely out of the question for you to opt-in. The laws that will ultimately come before them, which are often

This also applies to the actual implementation of the electronic contract. All parties involved must have the appropriate software in order to be able to view
