“Extra guidelines for understanding this part of the law”

When you’re trying to understand this part of the law, you can look at two important things to help you. The first is a set of rules called the Model Law on Electronic Commerce. This was made by a group called the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law on 16 December 1996. The second is any document that talks about this Model Law. These documents also come from the same United Nations group or the team that helped create the Model Law. These can give you more information about what the law means.
