UETA (Uniform Electronic Transactions Act)

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) is a law that ensures electronic signatures, records, and contracts are legally valid and enforceable just like traditional paper documents. It provides a consistent legal framework across states, establishing that electronic communications can replace paper-based agreements as long as all parties agree. UETA protects the integrity and authenticity of electronic transactions, promoting their reliable use in business and government, and helping to facilitate commerce in the increasingly digital world.
