الملخص الإنجليزي
The development in contracting through electronic commerce has reached representation
of users in it with smart programs that conclude contracts in their name and attribute all its effects
to them. These programs have kind of independence and ability to learn and gain experience, so
that the question began about whether the will expressed in the contract it is the will of the user or
the will of the program itself.
The rationality enjoyed by the electronic agent has turned the tables on claiming the permanence
and stability of the traditional theory of contracts. The effectiveness of these theories has become
threatened by the technical revolution, as the traditional rules have become incompatible with the
developments taking place.
This research came to study the national legislative texts related to organizing the issue of
contracting via the information network via the electronic agent, and to consider whether they are
sufficient to organize the issue.
The research was divided into two chapters, the first chapter of which deals with the nature of the
electronic medium and its legal nature. The definitions of the electronic medium were reviewed,
and its characteristics were shown. Then the legal personality and the legal adaptation of the
electronic agent were addressed.
As for the second chapter of the research, the role of the electronic agent in concluding contracts,
and the civil liability arising from it, were addressed by talking about the contract and its effects,
then addressing the civil liability of the electronic agent and proving it.
Therefore, this research has concluded with number of results and recommendations.
