Uniform Electronic Transactions Act
Nevada · Electronic Transactions (Uniform Act) · §§ 719.010 to 719.360 · 41 sections
Overview
The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act governs the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in transactions, including transactions involving governmental agencies. Its core rule is that a record, signature, or contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is electronic, and it applies only where the parties have agreed to conduct the transaction by electronic means, with most of its provisions subject to variation by agreement. Around that rule it supplies the operating mechanics: how an electronic record or signature is attributed to a person, how changes and errors are resolved, when electronic form satisfies requirements for writing, notarization, retention of originals, and admissibility in evidence, how contracts formed by automated electronic agents are treated, when a record counts as sent and received, transferable records, and how governmental agencies create, convert, accept, and distribute electronic records.
