325L.05 USE OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES;
VARIATION BY AGREEMENT.
(a) This chapter does not require a record or signature to be created, generated, sent,
communicated, received, stored, or otherwise processed or used by electronic means or in
electronic form.
(b) This chapter applies only to transactions between parties, each of which has agreed to
conduct transactions by electronic means. Whether the parties agree to conduct transactions
by electronic means is determined from the context and surrounding circumstances, including
the parties' conduct.
(c) If a party agrees to conduct a transaction by electronic means, this chapter does not
prohibit the party from refusing to conduct other transactions by electronic means. This paragraph
may not be varied by agreement.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the effect of any of its provisions may be
varied by agreement. The presence in certain provisions of this chapter of the words "unless
otherwise agreed," or words of similar import, does not imply that the effect of other provisions
may not be varied by agreement.
(e) Whether an electronic record or electronic signature has legal consequences is determined
by this chapter and other applicable law.
