Presumption as to electronic agreements
AI Assist
Summary
When an agreement exists as an electronic record and carries a secure electronic signature or a reliable electronic authentication, the court will presume the agreement was made by the parties and the signature belongs to them. That presumption holds unless contrary evidence is produced to disprove it.
Example
Priya signs a rental agreement online with Arjun using a secure electronic signature. Later Arjun claims the signature is forged; because the agreement is an electronic record with a secure signature, the court will presume Priya executed it unless evidence is produced to disprove that presumption.
