§

278. Attribution and effect of electronic record and electronic signature

(a) An

electronic record or electronic signature is attributable to a person if it was

the act of the person. The act of the person may be shown in any manner,

including a showing of the efficacy of any security procedure applied to

determine the person to which the electronic record or electronic signature was

attributable.

(b) The effect

of an electronic record or electronic signature attributed to a person under

subsection (a) of this section is determined from the context and surrounding

circumstances at the time of its creation, execution, or adoption, including

the parties' agreement, if any, and otherwise as provided by law. (Added 2003,

No. 44, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 2004.)
