Similarities and Differences of ECTA with International/Regional Model Laws for E-
Commerce in South Africa
Similarities:
• Functional Equivalents: Both ECTA and many international models (e.g., UNCITRAL
Model Law on Electronic Commerce) establish functional equivalents for traditional
paper-based concepts like writing, signatures, and originals in the digital realm. This
ensures legal recognition of electronic transactions.
• Technology Neutrality: ECTA and most models promote technology neutrality,
meaning the legal framework applies regardless of the specific technology used (email,
website, etc.)
• Consumer Protection: Both ECTA and international models aim to protect consumers
in e-commerce by addressing issues like contract formation (clickwrap agreements),
information disclosure, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
