E-Contracts are a complex subject in the Internet age. More and more companies, from startups to Fortune 100 companies, are creating new types of transactions with their customers that fit into this category. This not only includes information technology contracts, but also vendor contracts, personal loan contracts, e-commerce, consumers and even coffee shop contracts.

E-Contracts are an important part of any online business. When you buy products or services from an online store or vendor, you are usually required to sign an electronic contract. When you buy something from another person, you are also required to sign a contract. Most people are familiar with an agreement that comes on the internet. These agreements, called “terms & conditions”, “end user licenses” or “end user agreements,” cover the use of the services.

For example, when you’re trying to decide whether to buy an online service from a SaaS provider, there are a few factors that you should consider in your e-contract. Your SaaS provider should offer you a quality of service, but you should also ask about the service’s reliability. Do you have to pay a monthly fee? Are there any additional charges that don’t appear in the price section? What kind of support is available if you run into trouble with the services?

They usually have terms of service that limit what you can do with the service or product, or how you can use it. The problem is, many people have no awareness about the legality or enforceability of these agreements in Pakistan.

Browse-Wrap is a passive way of getting agreement to your term. In the Browse-Wrap method you provide a link of the Terms or Agreement in the footer of a website in the menu of Application. The context of the Browse-Wrap agreement is that by using the website/app you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of the contract.

In this method your user is considered to be accepting your terms simply by browsing your website or an app. But this passive approach may lead to the bulk of legal issues which may harm the business because of lack of user’s information and his explicit consent.

In other words, he was simply browsing your website and had not given a proper consent that would make him party to an agreement. As in Pakistan, the privacy law keeps evolving to offer better protection to the users therefore Browse Wrap will be phased out and deemed not according to the legal standards.

Click-Wrap is a preferred method for an online business for getting users to agree to its terms and conditions. In the Click-Wrap method you also provide a link of the agreement in the footer. However, the way you get users to agree is very different and legitimate.

In the Click-Wrap method the system shows the agreement to a user at the time when a user wants to subscribe the services or purchase a product. For example, as part of the Sign up or registration form process, a user must actively digitally sign by way of “Click” on the checkbox next to “I Agree” Button. This would ensure that users have read the terms and given his explicit consent and got engaged into the agreement.

Another example, if a website is using a cookie method to collect the data of the users, a pop-up message would show on the screen and users have two choices such as “Allow/Accept” or “Decline/Manage Cookie”. Clickwrap is a recommended way that will secure your interest from the user’s legal action against you.
