(1) For the purposes of a law of the Territory, unless otherwise agreed
between the originator and the addressee of an electronic
communication, the time of dispatch of the electronic
communication is:
(a) the time when the electronic communication leaves an
information system under the control of the originator or of the
party who sent it on behalf of the originator; or
(b) if the electronic communication has not left an information
system under the control of the originator or of the party who
sent it on behalf of the originator – the time when the
electronic communication is received by the addressee.
Note for paragraph (b)
Paragraph (b) would apply to a case where the parties exchange electronic
communications through the same information system.
(2) Subsection (1) applies even though the place where the information
system supporting an electronic address is located may be different
from the place where the electronic communication is taken to have
been dispatched under section 13B.
13A Time of receipt
(1) For the purposes of a law of the Territory, unless otherwise agreed
between the originator and the addressee of an electronic
communication:
(a) the time of receipt of the electronic communication is the time
when the electronic communication becomes capable of being
retrieved by the addressee at an electronic address
designated by the addressee; or
(b) the time of receipt of the electronic communication at another
electronic address of the addressee is the time when both:

communication has been sent to that address.
Part 2 Application of legal requirements to electronic communications
Division 3 Other provisions relating to Territory laws
Electronic Transactions (Northern Territory) Act 2000 12
(2) For subsection (1), unless otherwise agreed between the originator
and the addressee of the electronic communication, it is to be
assumed that the electronic communication is capable of being
retrieved by the addressee when it reaches the addressee's
electronic address.
(3) Subsection (1) applies even though the place where the information
system supporting an electronic address is located may be different
from the place where the electronic communication is taken to have
been received under section 13B.
13B Place of dispatch and place of receipt
(1) For the purposes of a law of the Territory, unless otherwise agreed
between the originator and the addressee of an electronic
communication:
(a) the electronic communication is taken to have been
dispatched at the place where the originator has its place of
business; and
(b) the electronic communication is taken to have been received
at the place where the addressee has its place of business.
(2) For the application of subsection (1) to an electronic
communication:
(a) a party's place of business is assumed to be the location
indicated by that party, unless another party demonstrates that
the party making the indication does not have a place of
business at that location; and
(b) if a party has not indicated a place of business and has only
one place of business, it is to be assumed that that place is
the party's place of business; and
(c) if a party has not indicated a place of business and has more
than one place of business, the place of business is that which
has the closest relationship to the underlying transaction,
having regard to the circumstances known to or contemplated
by the parties at any time before or at the conclusion of the
transaction; and
(d) if a party has not indicated a place of business and has more
than one place of business, but paragraph (c) does not
apply – it is to be assumed that the party's principal place of
business is the party's only place of business; and
Part 2A Additional provisions applying to contracts involving electronic
communications
Electronic Transactions (Northern Territory) Act 2000 13
(e) if a party is an individual and does not have a place of
business – it is to be assumed that the party's place of
business is the place of the party's habitual residence.
(3) A location is not a party's place of business merely because it is
where:
(a) equipment and technology supporting an information system
used by the party are located; or
(b) the information system may be accessed by other parties.
(4) The sole fact that a party makes use of a domain name or
electronic address connected to a specific country does not create
a presumption that its place of business is located in that country.
14 Attribution of electronic communications
(1) For the purposes of a law of the Territory, unless otherwise agreed
between the purported originator and the addressee of an
electronic communication, the purported originator of the electronic
communication is bound by the communication only if the
communication was sent by, or with the authority of, the purported
originator.
(2) Subsection (1) does not affect the operation of a law of the Territory
that makes provision for:
(a) conduct engaged in by a person within the scope of the
person's actual or apparent authority to be attributed to
another person; or
(b) a person to be bound by conduct engaged in by another
person within the scope of the other person's actual or
apparent authority.
Part 2A Additional provisions applying to contracts
involving electronic communications
14A Application of Part
This Part applies to the use of electronic communications in
connection with the formation or performance of a contract between
parties where the proper law of the contract is (or would on its
formation be) the law of the Territory, and so applies:
(a) whether some of or all the parties are located within Australia
or elsewhere; and
Part 2A Additional provisions applying to contracts involving electronic
communications
Electronic Transactions (Northern Territory) Act 2000 14
(b) whether the contract is for business purposes, personal, family
or household purposes or other purposes.
14B Invitation to treat regarding contracts
(1) This section applies to a proposal to form a contract that:
(a) is made through one or more electronic communications; and
(b) is not addressed to one or more specific parties; and
(c) is generally accessible to parties making use of information
systems.
(2) The proposal is to be considered as an invitation to make offers,
unless it clearly indicates the intention of the party making the
proposal to be bound in case of acceptance.
(3) Subsection (2) extends to proposals that make use of interactive
applications for the placement of orders through information
systems.
14C Use of automated message systems for contract formation –
non-intervention of individual
(1) This section applies to a contract formed by:
(a) the interaction of an automated message system and an
individual; or
(b) the interaction of automated message systems.
(2) The contract is not invalid, void or unenforceable on the sole
ground that no individual reviewed or intervened in each of the
individual actions carried out by the automated message systems
or the resulting contract.
14D Error in electronic communications regarding contracts
(1) This section applies in relation to a statement, declaration, demand,
notice or request, including an offer and the acceptance of an offer,
that the parties are required to make or choose to make in
connection with the formation or performance of a contract.
(2) If:
(a) an individual makes an input error in an electronic
communication exchanged with the automated message
system of another party; and
Part 2A Additional provisions applying to contracts involving electronic
communications
Electronic Transactions (Northern Territory) Act 2000 15
(b) the automated message system does not provide the
individual with an opportunity to correct the error;
the individual, or the party on whose behalf the individual was
acting, has the right to withdraw the portion of the electronic
communication in which the input error was made.
(3) However, the right of withdrawal of a portion of the electronic
communication can be exercised only if:
(a) the individual, or the party on whose behalf the individual was
acting, notifies the other party of the error as soon as possible
after having learned of the error and indicates that he or she
made an error in the electronic communication; and
(b) the individual, or the party on whose behalf the individual was
acting, has not used or received any material benefit or value
from the goods or services, if any, received from the other
party.
(4) The right of withdrawal of a portion of the electronic communication
is not of itself a right to rescind or otherwise terminate a contract.
(5) Any consequences of the exercise of the right of withdrawal of a
portion of the electronic communication are to be determined in
accordance with any applicable rule of law.
Note for section 14D
In some circumstances the withdrawal of a portion of an electronic
communication may invalidate the entire communication or render it ineffective
for the purposes of contract formation (see paragraph 241 of the UNCITRAL
explanatory note for the United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic
Communications in International Contracts).
14E Application of Act in relation to contracts
(1) Subject to subsection (2), sections 7 and 13 to 13B apply to the
following in the same way as they apply to a transaction or
electronic communication mentioned in those sections, and apply
as if the words "For the purposes of a law of the Territory" were
omitted:
(a) a transaction constituted by or relating to a contract;
(b) an electronic communication relating to the formation or
performance of a contract.
Part 4 Transitional matters
Electronic Transactions (Northern Territory) Act 2000 16
(2) However, this Part (including subsection (1)) does not apply in
relation to a contract to the extent that:
(a) Part 2 would of its own force have the same effect as this Part
if this Part applied; or
(b) a law of another State or Territory (that is in substantially the
same terms as Part 2) would of its own force have the same
effect as this Part if this Part applied.
Note for section 14E
This section applies provisions of Part 2 to contracts or proposed contracts to the
extent that those provisions do not apply merely because they are expressed to
apply in relation to a law of the Territory. This section also disapplies the
provisions of Part 2A to the extent that Part 2 would apply of its own force. An
example where Part 2 may not apply of its own force is where a contract is being
negotiated in a State or Territory from a supplier located overseas.
Part 3 Miscellaneous matters
15 Regulations
The Administrator may make regulations under this Act.
Part 4 Transitional matters
16 Transitional matters for Electronic Transactions (Northern
Territory) Amendment Act 2011

commencement date; and
(b) section 14C extends to actions carried out before the
commencement date; and
