Madagascar's National Assembly and Presidency enacted Law No. 2014-024 to establish a comprehensive legal framework governing electronic transactions, contracts, and payments. The legislation defines key terms such as data messages, electronic signatures, and automated messaging systems, while confirming the legal validity, probative force, and enforceability of electronic communications. It sets out precise rules for the formation, validity, and retention of electronic contracts, clarifies sender-addressee attribution, and mandates the availability of contractual clauses for electronic goods and services.
