Legal Implications Arising from the Stage of Negotiation through Electronic Means

This research aimed at investigating the legal implications arising from the stage of negotiation via electronic means. It specifically aimed to highlight the obligations associated with negotiation stage. Moreover, it ventured to identify the consequences of breaching the obligations agreed upon in this stage. The descriptive analytical method was used and the findings reflected that the stage of negotiation via electronic means leads to the conclusion of the contract. Furthermore, breach of these obligations requires compensation by the person causing the damage. It was also found that the Jordanian legislator did not address the electronic negotiation process in e-commerce transactions. Rather, the legislator regulated it in general by Law No. 85 of 2001, replaced by Law No. 15 of 2015. The study recommends that the Jordanian legislator include legal texts in the Electronic Business Transactions Law, so as to address the electronic negotiation stage.
