EDI环境下要约与承诺的若干法律问题初探

An Initiative Exploration into Legal Issues Related to Offer and Acceptance in EDI

EDI对国际贸易中的传统法律规定提出了严峻挑战,给传统的要约承诺理论也提出了许多质疑,比如数据电文表达的要约承诺是否具有法律效力,通过EDI表达的要约和承诺能否视为当事人的意思表示,EDI是否限制了当事人的权利,在EDI环境下要不要固守到达生效和投邮生效原则等。对这些问题进行理论研究具有重要的现实意义。

EDI brings forward austere challenge for traditional law in international trade, and demurs to traditional offer and acceptance theory, such as if offer and acceptance through electronic data have law sanction, if offer and acceptance through EDI may regard the parties thought, etc. The research of these theories has important and practical effect.
