Abstract

In this survey, we discuss electronic contracting cases decided between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. In addition to cases adding to the literature on the enforceability of online contracts, this survey includes cases discussing modification of online contracts, incorporation by reference, and unconscionability. We conclude that our common law is developing nicely to address the issues presented by internet contracting.

Keywords: contracts, internet, cyberspace, contract modification, unconscionability
