Abstract EN

This study aims to explore the time and place of online contract conclusion in the Jordan legislation.

it aims also to examine the criterion of discriminate between face to face contracting and distance contracting and examine whether the Jordan legislation regulate such issue in the electronic commerce law or it should be governed according to the general rules.

This study concludes to a collection of conclusions and recommendations.

The most one is that when classifying the type of contracting whether it is face to face contracting or distance contracting،we should examine the type of communication first.

There fore not all the online communication can be considered as instantaneous ones and thus online contracting may not always consider as face to face contracting.

The Jordan legislation does not explain this point and it left to the general principles in the civil law.

This position is criticized in the way that the nature of online contracting should be taken into consideration in discriminating between face to face contracting and distance contracting.

This study suggests that the Jordan legislation should adopt the delivery rule as it is more convenient and fair.
