This chapter briefly introduces the UCITA as a means of regulating the increasing volume of e-commerce and electronic contracts. Not everyone, however, is in favor of the UCITA. Using the Internet, search for articles and opinions that present multiple perspectives about how the UCITA influences business operations.
You can begin by visiting the Americans for Fair Electronic Commerce Transactions (AFECT) site (www.ucita.com). What arguments does it present against UCITA? Then visit the Virginia Technology Council (leg.vptc.org/UCITA/consumer.html) to read positions in favor of UCITA.
Now draft a brief response to what you have read. Would you support or oppose wider enactment of UCITA? Why? Would you recommend that any changes be made if your state was considering adopting parts of UCITA? What would those changes be?
