5-1 Discussion: E-Commerce

 In this module, we have explored the surge of e-commerce and the escalation of online contracts. How has the evolution of the internet piloted the growth of e-contracts? With the implementation of legislation, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), what is the impact and significance of digital signatures in cyberspace?

Finally, in responding to your peers’ posts, discuss the validity of e-contracts within an information technology business model. What are the boundaries of e-contracts? Offer suggestions on how your peers can protect contracts that fall outside the boundaries.
