The Electronic Commerce Agreement is intended to serve the commercial requirements of business-to-business electronic commerce partners. It contains a basic set of provisions which can ensure that one or more electronic commercial transactions may subsequently be concluded by commercial partners within a sound legal framework.

The Model UBL Letter Agreement provides a template for contracts between trading partners who wish to treat particular UBL electronic documents as equivalent to their paper counterparts. The Model does not itself constitute a contract and should not be used without legal review, but together with the Commentary it provides a starting point for lawyers and a checklist for discussion with their clients.
