or "I accept" button. You should always read any terms of
the contract carefully, including the fine print before
clicking on the "I agree" or "I accept" button. Always ensure
that you print out a copy of your agreement (contract)

but send you a faulty or worthless product instead or
even nothing at all.
What are the steps I take to resolve my E contract problem?

 Always try to resolve your E contract problem directly


with the person or company who you either sold to
or purchased the goods from.

even different countries.

to start legal action depends on where the contract
was made, it is sometimes the case that buyers or
sellers cannot force the other person to meet their
obligations ‫االلتزام بالوعود‬under the contract made on
the internet. You should get legal advice.
