The Use of Electronic Signature in Validation of Electronic Contracts from the Jordanian Perspective

Abstract

It is common these days to form contracts electronically. The verification of the electronic signatures is an important condition, which needs to be fulfilled according to the Jordanian laws. The reason for this is that, according to Article (30) of the Electronic Transaction Law, electronic signatures are considered to be evidence that the contracting parties have legally consented to the contents that are contained in a document. This article will highlight the current approach on the subject matter from the perspective of the Jordanian law and if there are any Limitations concerning the E-Signatures in the Jordanian Law.
