Main Article Content

BOUCETTA IMANE

Abstract

The contract concluded in the digital environment has a peculiarity that distinguishes it from the traditional contract, and since the offer and acceptance are the main pillar of any contract, including the electronic contract, the spread of electronic transactions imposes a study of privacy that distinguishes them in the digital environment, both in terms of their legal definition or in terms of the characteristics that characterize the electronic offer as the will that initiates the contract, while determining its legal nature in the digital environment. As for electronic acceptance, it is expressed through several electronic methods and media, including that it is expressed via e-mail, or by clicking on the admission icon on the website, or by chat and direct viewing, and the specificity of electronic admission is highlighted in the determination of the right to withdraw from it and in the invalidity of silence to express acceptance in the digital environment, the special nature of the electronic offer and acceptance is the one that imposed a special legal regulation, or At least a legal adaptation of traditional legal texts in line with this privacy that would enhance trust in electronic transactions
