Article 25
Nothing shall prevent the acceptance of an instrument, document or transaction as evidence on the grounds that it is in the form of data message, albeit
not in its original form if it is the only evidence that the person asserts.
Article 26
When assessing the evidential weight of information, instrument or a document in the form of a data message, regard shall be given to the following:
1. the processes and circumstances under which the data message was generated, stored or communicated;
2. the processes and circumstances under which the integrity of the instrument, document or information contained in the data message was
maintained;
3. the processes and circumstances under which the originator of the data message was identified; and
4. any other relevant process or circumstances.
Article 27
A contract formed by the interaction of an automated message system and a natural person, or by the interaction of automated message systems, shall
not be denied validity or enforceability on the sole ground that no natural person reviewed or intervened in each of the individual actions carried out by the
automated message systems or the resulting contract.
