الملخص EN

The invention of computer and internet had various impacts that lead to a change in the form of contracts.

it has moved from being done in a tangible world by two individuals in one same spot, to contracts done by two individuals in two different locations.

many legislations have chosen to protect the consumer from the traditional depreciation contracts, this protection could be achieved by particular norms.

this latter organizes a consumer contractual relationship between the merchant and the consumer.

however, these rules could not reach the level of protection that is needed in the electronic depreciation contracts, by virtue of the privacy of these contracts and their digital character.

that is why it was obligatory to produce new laws or amending the previous ones so that they could keep pace with the development seen in this field.

the laws basically aim to ensure the safety of the electronic commercial transactions and provide the right amount of protection for the consumer and secure him from any dangers that could face him while he is about to be a part of this kind of contracts.

when we mention protection of the consumer we do not only talk about the physical protection but the psychological one too, it is a must on the laws to ensure the satisfaction and freedom of will of the consumer in order to avoid falling into disinformation traps, cheating and exploitation.
