It is necessary to shed light on this modern type of transaction to clarify the nature of the laws and provisions that govern it, so as to provide legal protection for the clients in this field.

The electronic contract is validated by verifying the validity of the pillars: the object, the cause, the agreement and the eligibility, which are organized in the same framework as the general rules regulating the traditional contract. With some specificity of these pillars, the scope of the general rules is not broadened; to accommodate the eligibility of the contractors, it is difficult to ascertain the identity of the contracting parties and their eligibility, electronic signature and certification to try and fill gaps in this range.
