§ 26-2-8-113 — Automated transaction

(a) If an offer evokes an electronic record
in response, a contract may be formed in the same manner and with the
same effect as if the record were not electronic, but an acceptance of
the offer is effective, if at all, when received.
(b) In an automated transaction, the following rules apply:
(1) A contract may be formed by the interaction of electronic
agents of the parties even if no individual was aware of or
reviewed the electronic agents' actions or the resulting terms and
agreements.
(2) A contract may be formed by the interaction of an electronic
agent and an individual, acting on the individual's own behalf or
for another person, including by an interaction in which the
individual performs actions that the individual is free to refuse to
perform and which the individual knows or has reason to know
will cause the electronic agent to complete the transaction or
performance.
(c) The terms of a contract are determined by the substantive law
applicable to the particular contract.
