Jurisprudential and legal study of intention and consent in Cyberspace contracts based on international documents

Abstract

In this study, we address issues concerning virtual contracts and express gaps concerning Iran's codified laws, Islamic jurisprudence, and international documents such as the Geneva Convention and the Convention on the International Sale of Goods, which are not explicitly addressed in Iran's e-commerce law. Consequently, in this research, the effects of conciliation of the parties to the contract by telephone, telex, and new virtual devices will be explored as well as the effects and rulings of contract conclusion. This research is applied from the standpoint of purpose, descriptive, and structural. The study concludes that there are challenges and gaps in the law for the conclusion of a virtual contract, and reveals a solution to eliminating these challenges and gaps.
