Law No. 20 of 2014 Concerning Electronic Transactions
Chapter Third
Document or electronic record
Article (8)
Two automated electronic systems including two electronic information
systems or more may enter into a contract if such systems are pre-prepared and
programmed to carry out such tasks. The contract shall be valid, in force and
effective at law whenever its conditions have been fulfilled and whenever such
systems carry out their tasks properly in spite of the absence of any personal
or direct intervention by any natural person in the process of concluding the
contract. The legal action may be completed between an electronic system,
owned by a natural or a juridical person, and a natural person only if the later
is aware or should have been aware of the fact that that system will complete
this legal action.
Article (9)
The electronic document or record effective at law should fulfill the following
conditions together:
A. The electronic document or record should be saved the way it was created,
sent or received, or in any other way easy to prove the accuracy of data
contained therein upon creation, sending or receiving.
B. The data contained in the electronic document or record should be
maintainable and storable so as to be retrieved at any time.
C. The data contained in the electronic document or record should identify
the creator or sender, date and time of sending or receiving the same.
D. The document or record should be saved in an electronic format pursuant
to the conditions and rules set by the competent authority to which
supervision of this activity is subject.

The provisions of this Article shall not prejudice the provision of any other law
which explicitly stipulates saving the document, record, data or information in
a specific electronic format according to a specific electronic processing system
or following specific procedures, or sending the same via a specific electronic
medium. Additionally, the provisions of this Article shall not be incompatible
with any additional requirements established by the government concerning
the storage of electronic records subject to its jurisdiction.
