, Question 1 A has recently launched their new e-commerce venture in South Africa in
competition with South African e-commerce traders like . As a South African e-
commerce law expert you are approached by a legal advisor from A for advice. In
order for A to comprehend the local and regional e-commerce legal landscape you are
tasked to inform A on the similarities and differences of the facilitation of electronic
transactions provisions in the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act
(ECTA) 25 of 2002 with other international or regional model laws you are aware of
that deal with the most prominent issues you have identified as being relevant to e-
commerce in South Africa (i.e. module content). Part of your task includes informing

marks]
Sure, let's break down the response into six points each for similarities and differences between
the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA) 25 of 2002 in South Africa and
other international or regional model laws related to e-commerce:
Similarities:
1. Legal Recognition of Electronic Transactions: ECTA, along with international models like the
UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce, recognizes the legal validity of electronic
transactions, ensuring contracts formed electronically are enforceable.
2. Electronic Signatures: Both ECTA and models like the EU's eIDAS Regulation recognize the
validity of electronic signatures, providing assurance that electronically signed documents hold
legal weight.
3. Consumer Protection: ECTA, similar to the EU's Consumer Rights Directive, includes
provisions safeguarding consumers in e-commerce transactions, such as requirements for clear
terms and conditions and mechanisms for dispute resolution.
4. Data Protection: ECTA aligns with international standards like the GDPR by addressing data
protection concerns in electronic transactions, ensuring the privacy and security of personal
information.
