1 [Symbol of the State of Israel] RESHUMOT (Official Gazette) BILLS T H E G O V E R N M E N T Shvat 7, January 14, 2008 Page Electronic Commerce Bill,

2 A bill is hereby published on behalf of the Government: Electronic Commerce Bill, Chapter A: Purpose of the Law Purpose of the Law 1. The purpose of this Law is to regulate various aspects of the use of electronic documents in the course of commercial activities, including compliance with a writing requirement in legislation and the performance of a legal act by means of an electronic document, the determination of presumptions regarding the dispatch and receipt of electronic messages, as well as provisions regarding the limitation of civil liability of Internet service providers for the provision of Internet services, and their duty to maintain confidentiality regarding the particulars of a distributor of information over the Internet. Electronic commerce creates General various legal problems, in respect of which uncertainty currently prevails, in the absence of special legislation. For example, in the transition to the world of electronic commerce, has there been a change in the need for the documentation of transactions and various legal acts, in respect of which a writing requirement currently exists, in the form of "paper-based documents", or can tortious liability be imposed on the commission of torts on the Internet, and if so, what is the scope of such a liability, and can it be imposed on third parties? In 2001, the then-justice Minister, Yossi Beilin, appointed an interministerial committee headed by Ms. Tanna Spanitz, the Deputy Attorney General (Civil Law), in order to examine the legal aspects of electronic commerce, in the field of civil law, including the need to adjust legislation to the changing technological reality (hereinafter: the "Spanitz Committee"). The Committee examined various issues, including the aforementioned issues (and also issues relating to the protection of privacy on Internet databases, the privacy of minors, consumer protection and electronic signatures) with the aim of examining whether legislation is necessary or whether the uncertainty could be resolved by interpreting the existing legislation. One of the products of the Committee's work was the enactment of the Electronic Signature Law, 5761[sic] 2001, which regulates the conditions under which it is possible to comply with the signature requirement in the legislation, by way of an electronic signature. Upon completion of the work of the Spanitz Committee, a draft report was published, for the public's comments, containing various recommendations, and subsequently, the report was published, which incorporated part of the comments that had been received on the draft. This Bill was prepared on the basis of the said report.

3 Definitions 2. In this Law Chapter B: Definitions "Electronic Document" an electronic message in respect of which the following two conditions have been met: (1) It is accessible for further use; (2) It is capable of being retrieved. "Electronic Message" as defined in the Electronic Signature Law, ; "Accessible for further use" available and visually decipherable; "Capable of being retrieved" may be saved electronically in a manner that does not alter the information contained therein, and may be produced as Output; Section 1 The purpose of this Law is to regulate various aspects of the civil law in the electronic world, in the spirit of the recommendations of the Spanitz Committee, such as: the use of electronic documents in the course of commercial activities including compliance with a writing requirement in the legislation and the performance of a legal act by means of an electronic document, the determination of presumptions regarding the dispatch and receipt of electronic messages, and also provisions regarding the limitation on civil liability of Internet service providers for the provision of Internet services, and their duty to maintain confidentiality regarding the particulars of a distributor of information over the Internet. Section 2 This section sets forth the definitions of various terms used in the sections of the proposed law, including The definition of "Electronic Message" which refers to the definition of this term in the Electronic Signature Law, ; The definition of "Output" which refers to the definition of this term in the Computer Law, ; The definition of "Electronic Document" which is the most important definition in this section. The proposed definition constitutes the adoption of the "equivalence of form" approach or the "functional equivalence" approach, which was set forth in the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce. This approach means that, as a rule, in cases of an evidentiary writing requirement, there is no impediment, in principle, to the Electronic Document replacing the "paper-based document". According to this approach, an Electronic Message which 1 Laws of the State of Israel [Sefer Hachukkim] 5765, page 210.

4 "Output" as defined in the Computer Law, ; The "Minister" the Minister of Justice. Chapter C: Compliance with a Writing Requirement and Performance Of a Legal Act By Means of an Electronic Document Delivery of Information by Means of an Electronic Document 3. (a) Should it be required in a statute specified in the First Schedule, that information shall be published to the public or shall be delivered to a particular person, in writing, this requirement may be complied with by means of an electronic document; for this purpose, "published" with the exception of publication in Reshumot (Official Gazette). complies with several requirements enjoys a legal status identical to that of the document constituting its paper-based counterpart. The definition determines that not every Electronic Message will be deemed to be an electronic "document", but only one which satisfies the two conditions set forth in the definition: it is accessible for further use and is capable of being retrieved. The purpose of these conditions is to guarantee that the Electronic Message will be accessible for inspection, reading and understanding, and that it is capable of being retrieved in other words, that it can be saved electronically in a manner that preserves the information as contained in the Electronic Message, including different variables, such as the size of the letters (which could be of legal significance in the case of a standard contract, for example) or different emphases, etc. Section 3 This section deals with situations in which a statute determines that certain information must be published to the public or delivered to a particular person, in writing. The proposed section provides that it will be possible to comply with this requirement, with regard to the statutes specified in the First Schedule, by means of an electronic document, thus removing the uncertainty regarding the interpretive question as to whether such a statute would also apply if the information was published to the public or was delivered to a particular person over the Internet or by . Currently one statute is specified in the First Schedule, the Trademarks Ordinance (New Version), According to the provisions of the section, it will be possible to submit applications electronically to the Registrar of Trademarks. Pursuant to section 14 of the proposed law, the Minister of Justice will be entitled, in an order, to amend the First Schedule. It is also proposed to determine that a minister who is charged with the implementation of a statute specified in the First Schedule shall be entitled, upon consultation with the Minister of Justice, to determine conditions for the application of the provisions of sub-section (a) with regard to the said statute. 2 Laws of the State of Israel 5755, page 366.

5 (b) A minister who is charged with the execution of a statute specified in the First Schedule shall be entitled, upon consultation with the Minister of Justice, to determine conditions for the application of the provisions of sub-section (a) with regard to the said statute. Performance of a Legal Act By Means of an Electronic Document Disclosure of Information Prior to Conclusion a Contract By Means of an Electronic Document 4. (a) A legal act, including the conclusion of a contract, shall be valid even if such has been effected by means of an electronic document. (b) The provisions of sub-section (a) shall not apply with regard to legal acts specified in the Second Schedule. 5. Should a statute require disclosure, in writing, of information prior to the conclusion of a contract, such a requirement may be complied with by means of an electronic document, provided that the party subject to such a disclosure obligation shall bring to the attention of the other party to the contract, in a separate Electronic Document, such particulars as shall be determined by the Minister in the regulations, including particulars regarding the manner in which the contract was concluded by means of an electronic document; for this purpose, "contract" with the exception of a contract between a consumer and a dealer, as defined in the Consumer Protection Law, ; Section 4 The proposed section determines that, in principle, a contract may be concluded or a legal act performed by means of an electronic document, with the exception of a contract or a legal act which are listed in the Second Schedule to the Law. The cases listed in the Second Schedule are, for the most part, cases where there is a material writing requirement with regard to the contract or the legal act, so that it would appear to be undesirable for them to be concluded or performed, as the case may be, by means of an electronic document, due to the importance and complexity of such contracts and acts for the parties engaging therein. In addition, the Schedule also includes documents in respect of which the Electronic Signature Order (Determination of Schedules to the Law), provided that they cannot be signed with an electronic signature, since obviously if these documents cannot be signed electronically, there is also no point in preparing them in such a manner. Section 5 The provisions of the proposed section determine that when a statute contains a requirement for certain information to be delivered prior to the conclusion of a contract, in writing, the writing requirement may be complied with by means of an electronic document, provided that the party subject to such a disclosure obligation shall bring to the attention of the other party to the contract, in a separate electronic document, such particulars of the electronic engagement as shall be determined by the Minister in the regulations. This concerns the submission of 3 Laws of the State of Israel 5741, page 248.

6 Chapter D: Presumptions Regarding the Dispatch and Receipt of an Electronic Message Presumptions Regarding the Dispatch and Receipt of an Electronic Message 6. (a) An Electronic Message shall be presumed to have been sent when it enters an Information Processing System which is beyond the sender s control, and if the sender and the addressee use the same Information Processing System when the message is capable of being retrieved and is accessible for further use by the addressee. (b) An Electronic Message shall be presumed to have been received by the addressee when it enters an Information Processing System which is used by the addressee for receiving Electronic Messages of the type that was sent, and it is accessible for further use by the addressee. particulars such as: what are the acts required for the purpose of concluding the contract electronically; whether the contract will be delivered as a document printed on paper; which measures must be taken so that the electronic document will be accessible; which technical measures must be taken to identify and correct typing errors before the order is made, including the presentation of the particulars of the transaction prior to the final approval thereof. This section clarifies that the provision contained therein will not apply to contracts which are not consumer contracts, since the aspects relating to consumer contracts will be regulated in separate legislation. Section 6 The proposed section determines presumptions regarding the date of dispatch and the date of receipt of the Electronic Message, for example, when is sent or messages transmitted through other electronic information systems, such as instant messaging systems. Such dates are of the utmost importance in the law of contract, just as they are in relation to legal acts which are not contracts, such as the delivery of various notices with legal validity, for example, in matters pertaining to the conclusion of a contract the date of delivery of the acceptance notice or the date for retracting the offer, or in matters pertaining to the cancellation of a contract, such as the delivery of the cancellation notice. It should be clarified that these presumptions are rebuttable presumptions. On sub-section (a) This sub-section deals with the delivery of an Electronic Message. For the purpose of the date of dispatch of an Electronic Message, the proposed section determines that the Electronic Message will be deemed to have been sent to the addressee when it enters an Information Processing System which is beyond the sender's control; in contrast, if the sender and the addressee use the same Information Processing System, the section determines a presumption whereby the Electronic Message will be deemed to have been sent when it is capable of being retrieved and is accessible for further use by the addressee, because in such an event, the Electronic Message remains within the same Information Processing System and does not enter an Information Processing System which is beyond the sender's control. On sub-section (b) This sub-section deals with the receipt of an Electronic Message. For the purpose of the date of the receipt of the message, the proposed section determines that an Electronic Message will

7 (c) In this section, "Information Processing System" an electronic system which is intended to create, send, receive, save, store, present or process information. Chapter E: Provision of Internet Services Article A: Limitations on Civil Liability of Internet Service Providers Definitions 7. In this Chapter "Civil Liability" tortious liability or liability for an intellectual property claim; be deemed to have been received by the addressee when it enters an Information Processing System which is used by the addressee for receiving Electronic Messages of the type that was sent (for example, the address which the addressee specified as the address to which he wishes to be sent by the sender) and when the message is accessible for further use by the addressee. On sub-section (c) This sub-section includes the definition of the term "Information Processing System" for the purpose of this section, whereby this refers to an electronic system which is intended to create, send, receive, save, store, present or process information. It refers, inter alia, to an system, an instant messaging system, a short message service (SMS notices), etc. Chapter E General This Chapter (sections 7 to 13 of the proposed law) deals with a serious issue, namely, the liability of Internet service providers in civil law for information distributed over the Internet by a third party. This issue is complex, due to both its technological aspect and its legal aspects, which go to the root of questions concerning the balance between freedom of expression and various basic rights protected by the civil law, such as the right to property (through the intellectual property laws), the right to reputation (through the laws of libel), the right to privacy (through the Privacy Protection Law) and other rights, and also due to the uniqueness of the Internet as an innovative medium, which is open to anybody, with all the advantages and disadvantages entailed thereby. The arrangement proposed in this Chapter primarily pursues the approach common in American law in the field of copyright and in the law of the European Union in the field of civil law as a whole. According to this approach, an Internet service provider which has complied with the terms set forth in the law in relation to the Internet service which it provides (special terms are specified with respect to each service), will be exempt from civil liability in respect of the provision of the service. Section 7 The proposed section sets forth the definitions of various terms used in this Chapter. The main definitions concern the types of Internet service discussed in the Chapter. It is proposed to distinguish between three types of services which an Internet service provider can provide: mere conduit services, caching services and

8 "Intellectual Property Claim" as defined in section 40(4) of the Courts (Consolidated Version) Law, ; "Information Distributor" a party which has uploaded information to an electronic communications network; "Internet Service Provider" a party which provides one of the following: caching service, hosting service or mere conduit service; "Caching Service" a service designed for the temporary storage of information, which is done automatically in order to facilitate the transfer of the information in the electronic communications network and to increase the speed of the transfer; "Hosting Service" a service designed for one of the following: The permanent storage on the service provider s computer server, of information that was submitted to it in order for it to be uploaded to an electronic communications network; The presentation, on the website of the service provider, of information that was submitted to it in order for it to be uploaded to an electronic communications network; The provision of the possibility to electronically identify information situated in an electronic communications network; "Mere Conduit Service" a service designed to enable people to access an electronic communications network; "Electronic Communications Network" the Internet and any other public communications network which the Minister of Justice, in consultation with the Minister of Communications, has determined in an order. Limitation on Liability For the Provision of Mere Conduit Service 8. An Internet Service Provider shall not bear Civil Liability for the provision of Mere Conduit Services regarding information that was uploaded to an Electronic Communications Network by another person, if all the following conditions have been met: hosting services (which also include search services). In addition, by defining the term "Civil Liability" the section determines to which fields the limitation on liability, as proposed in this Chapter, will apply: tortious liability for all the torts set forth in the Torts Ordinance and elsewhere; or liability for an Intellectual Property Claim, such as claims for a breach of copyright, patent infringement, the infringement of a trademark or design, etc. Section 8 The proposed section determines which conditions must be satisfied for the Internet Service Provider providing Mere Conduit Services to be 4 Laws of the State of Israel 5744, page 198.

The first condition is that the provider did not choose the information thus uploaded, did not initiate the transfer thereof and did not modify the contents thereof, and the second condition is that the provider did not choose who would receive the information so uploaded. In other words, in the given circumstances, the provider served purely as a conduit for the transfer of the information. Section 9 The proposed section determines which conditions must be satisfied for the Internet Service Provider providing Caching Services to be exempt from the said Civil Liability, regarding information that was uploaded to an Electronic Communications Network by another person. It concerns an Internet Service Provider which provides Caching Services for information, which is done automatically in order to facilitate the transfer of the information in the Electronic Communications Network and to increase the speed of the transfer. The first condition for exemption from said Civil Liability is that it did not modify the information thus uploaded in other words, that it is storing the information as originally uploaded. The second condition is that in respect of said information, uploaded to the network as stated, the provider complied with the standard rules in the Internet industry regarding the updating of the contents of the information and the attainment of data on the use thereof. The third condition is that the provider took steps to remove the information or to block access thereto, immediately after learning that the Information Distributor had removed it from the Electronic Communications Network or blocked the access thereto due to the contents or the distribution thereof constituting a tort or a violation of an intellectual property right, or after a court or any other local authority ordered it to remove the information or to block the access thereto. The reason for this is that if the information was removed from the original site to which it was uploaded, it must also be removed from the caching sites, otherwise the purpose of the removal would be defeated.
