CURRENT PROBLEMS OF CONCLUSION OF ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS BETWEEN BUSINESS ENTITIES

Abstract

The article presents the results of the development of legislation governing the concept, form and procedure for concluding electronic contracts between business entities (B2B). The considered methods of concluding contracts on the Internet have already become widespread, although in the legal sense they remain poorly understood and insufficiently regulated. Therefore, it is now very important to lay the legal framework for the regulation of contractual relations on the Internet, because with the advent of new online services, there are new ways of concluding contracts. It is proposed to recognize the electronic form of contracts as a new form of contracts, other than simple written. The role of electronic digital signature in concluding electronic contracts has been established, the legislation regulating the use of electronic digital signature has been studied. It is proposed to improve the legislation of Ukraine, namely: allocation of the electronic form of the transaction in a separate, with its further division into electronic contracts concluded via the Internet using any available technical means (filling out the form in the browser / e-mail correspondence / use of managers or mobile applications) and concluded via the Internet with the obligatory use of electronic signatures.
