The legal effect of the terms and conditions prescribed on a website

Peace, Mercy And Blessings Of God,

Greeting of Righteousness And Arabism,

Dear Sir,

The answer to your question in general and in brief is as follows:

In accordance with Article (2) of the Jordanian Electronic Transactions Law, the electronic record is defined as a message of information containing a registration, contract or another document of any kind, any of which is created, stored, used, copied, sent, communicated or delivered using an electronic medium.

In accordance with Article (6) of the same law, if any legislation requires that any registration, contract, or document be submitted in writing, the submission of the electronic record of any of them shall be considered as a product of the same legal effects provided that it allows:

(A) Access to electronic record information.

(B) The possibility of storing the electronic record and returning to it at any time without causing any change to it.

Therefore, the terms and conditions of the website are considered to be the contract between the owner of the website and the public or users of the website.

Furthermore, the terms and conditions prescribed on the website have a legal effect provided that they are not contrary to the rest of the laws.

So yes, the terms and conditions of the website can protect the owner of the website if someone else has already approved it. Terms and conditions must be stored on the website and must be publicly accessible.

Accept the appreciation and respect,
