Answer:
d. declares that a contract or signature may not be denied enforceability just because it is in electronic form.
Explanation:
The Uniform Electronic Transmission Act (UETA) is one of the Uniform Acts and key laws of the United States of America. This Act was proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and has since been adopted by forty eight (48) states including the U.S Virgin Islands and the District of Colombia.
However, New York and Illinois have not adopted UETA but they have similar state legislations and laws that recognizes electronic signatures.
The main purpose of UETA is to give legal validity to electronic signatures, electronic contracts and the harmonization of laws regarding the retention of paper records such as checks across the United States of America.
Hence, the function of UETA is to create unison or harmony between the laws regarding records in paper format and the authenticity of electronic signatures.
An electronic signature can be defined as an electronic data such as symbols, signs or sound which are attached to purchase order, contracts or any other contractual agreements adopted by an individual as an agreement to the deal.
According to the Uniform Electronic Transmission Act (UETA), an electronic contract or signature may not be denied enforceability just because it is in electronic form.
In conclusion, both the electronic version of a contract and signature are valid, legal and enforceable across states where they are recognized in the United States of America.
