On line contract

A contract stipulated through the web is a regular contract, which follows to civil code rules.

As normal contracts, an on line contract is to be considered stipulated when the party who made the offer has been informed about the counter-party’s acceptance. Indeed, buying in the web, consumer can chose between lots of products offered by the seller and put them together in a “virtual cart”: only after this operation the consumer will be asked to pay the related amount.

Actually, there are further ways of considering a contract signed. Indeed, the consumer can propose to the seller his offer, so that the agreement will be reached only with the seller’s acceptance.

Finally, a contract should be stipulated also by a “resolving act”, such as when a license to use a software is downloaded on one’s personal computer. In these cases, the contract is considered signed in the same place/time when the implementation started.
