Legal effect/Security
Electronic contracts are printed documents and
have the same legal effect as contracts.
The effect of an electronic contract is
specified by law.
Basic Act on Electronic Documents and Electronic Transactions
In the Korean Civil Act, the principle of non-food is followed, which recognizes the establishment of a contract only by an agreement between the parties without a separate formal request. In other words, legal effect is recognized if you prove that you have agreed to the terms of the contract regardless of the form of the contract.
