AK Stat § 09.80.050 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 9. Code of Civil Procedure|Chapter 80. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|Sec. 09.80.050. Provision of information in writing; presentation of records.

(a) If parties have agreed to conduct a transaction by electronic means and a law requires a person to provide, send, or deliver information in writing to another person, the requirement is satisfied if the information is provided, sent, or delivered, as the case may be, in an electronic record capable of retention by the recipient at the time of receipt. An electronic record is not capable of retention by the recipient if the sender or its information processing system inhibits the ability of the recipient to print or store the electronic record.

(a) An electronic record or electronic signature is attributable to a person if it was the act of the person. The act of the person may be shown in any manner, including a showing of the efficacy of any security procedure applied to determine the person to whom the electronic record or electronic signature was attributable. (b) The effect of an electronic record or electronic signature attributed to a person under (a) of this section is determined from the context and surrounding circumstances at the time of its creation, execution, or adoption, including the parties' agreement, if any, and otherwise as provided by law.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 9. Code of Civil Procedure|Chapter 80. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|Sec. 09.80.070. Effect of change or error.

If a change or an error in an electronic record occurs in a transmission between parties to a transaction, the following rules apply: (1) if the parties have agreed to use a security procedure to detect changes or errors and one party has conformed to the procedure, but the other party has not, and the nonconforming party would have detected the change or error had that party also conformed, the conforming party may avoid the effect of the changed or erroneous electronic record; (2) in an automated transaction involving an individual, the individual may avoid the effect of an electronic record that resulted from an error made by the individual in dealing with the electronic agent of another person if the electronic agent did not provide an opportunity for the prevention or correction of the error and, at the time the individual learns of the error, the individual (A) promptly notifies the other person of the error and that the individual did not intend to be bound by the electronic record received by the other person; (B) takes reasonable steps, including steps that conform to the other person's reasonable instructions, to return to the other person or, if instructed by the other person, to destroy the consideration received, if any, as a result of the erroneous electronic record; and (C) has not used or received any benefit or value from the consideration, if any, received from the other person; (3) if (1) and (2) of this section do not apply, the change or error has the effect provided by other law, including the law of mistake, and the parties' contract, if any; (4) paragraphs (2) and (3) of this section may not be varied by agreement.
AK Stat § 09.80.080 (2021)

(d) If a law requires a record to be presented or retained in its original form, or provides consequences if the record is not presented or retained in its original form, that law is satisfied by an electronic record retained in accordance with (a) of this section. (e) If a law requires retention of a check, that requirement is satisfied by retention of an electronic record of the information on the front and back of the check in accordance with (a) of this section. (f) A record retained as an electronic record in accordance with (a) of this section satisfies a law requiring a person to retain a record for evidentiary, audit, or like purposes, unless a law enacted after July 1, 2004 specifically prohibits the use of an electronic record for the specified purpose. (g) This section does not preclude a governmental agency of this state from specifying additional requirements for the retention of a record subject to the agency's jurisdiction.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 9. Code of Civil Procedure|Chapter 80. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|Sec. 09.80.100. Admissibility in evidence.

In an automated transaction, the following rules apply: (1) a contract may be formed by the interaction of electronic agents of the parties, even if no individual was aware of or reviewed the electronic agents' actions or the resulting terms and agreements; (2) a contract may be formed by the interaction of an electronic agent and an individual, acting on the individual's own behalf or for another person, including by an interaction in which the individual performs actions that the individual is free to refuse to perform and that the individual knows or has reason to know will cause the electronic agent to complete the transaction or performance; (3) the terms of the contract are determined by the substantive law applicable to it.
AK Stat § 09.80.120 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 9. Code of Civil Procedure|Chapter 80. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|Sec. 09.80.120. Time and place of sending and receipt.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed between the sender and the recipient, an electronic record is sent when it (1) is addressed properly or otherwise directed properly to an information processing system that the recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of receiving electronic records or information of the type sent and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the electronic record; (2) is in a form capable of being processed by that system; and (3) enters an information processing system outside the control of the sender or of a person who sent the electronic record on behalf of the sender or enters a region of the information processing system designated or used by the recipient that is under the control of the recipient. (b) Unless otherwise agreed between a sender and the recipient, an electronic record is received when it (1) enters an information processing system that the recipient has designated or uses for the purpose of receiving electronic records or information of the type sent and from which the recipient is able to retrieve the electronic record; and (2) is in a form capable of being processed by that system. (c) Subsection (b) of this section applies even if the place the information processing system is located is different from the place the electronic record is considered to be received under (d) of this section. (d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in the electronic record or agreed between the sender and the recipient, an electronic record is considered to be sent from the sender's place of business and to be received at the recipient's place of business. For purposes of this subsection, the following rules apply: (1) if the sender or recipient has more than one place of business, the place of business of that person is the place having the closest relationship to the underlying transaction; (2) if the sender or the recipient does not have a place of business, the place of business is the sender's or recipient's residence, as the case may be. (e) An electronic record is received under (b) of this section even if no individual is aware of its receipt. (f) Receipt of an electronic acknowledgment from an information processing system described in (b) of this section establishes that a record was received but, by itself, does not establish that the content sent corresponds to the content received. (g) If a person is aware that an electronic record purportedly sent under (a) of this section, or purportedly received under (b) of this section, was not actually sent or received, the legal effect of the sending or receipt is determined by other applicable law. Except to the extent permitted by the other law, the requirements of this subsection may not be varied by agreement.

2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 9. Code of Civil Procedure|Chapter 80. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|Sec. 09.80.130. Transferable records.

(a) A person has control of a transferable record if a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the transferable record reliably establishes that person as the person to whom the transferable record was issued or transferred. (b) A system satisfies (a) of this section, and a person is considered to have control of a transferable record, if the transferable record is created, stored, and assigned in such a manner that (1) a single authoritative copy of the transferable record exists that is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in (4) - (6) of this subsection, unalterable; (2) the authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as the person to whom the transferable record was (A) issued; or (B) most recently transferred if the authoritative copy indicates that the transferable record has been transferred; (3) the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting control or the person's designated custodian; (4) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control; (5) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and (6) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized. (c) Except as otherwise agreed, a person having control of a transferable record is the holder, as defined in AS 45.01.211(b), of the transferable record and has the same rights and defenses as a holder of an equivalent record or writing under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, if the applicable statutory requirements under AS 45.03.302(a), AS 45.07.501, or AS 45.29.308 are satisfied, the rights and defenses of a holder in due course, a holder to which a negotiable document of title has been duly negotiated, or a purchaser, respectively. Delivery, possession, and endorsement are not required to obtain or exercise a right under this subsection. (d) Except as otherwise agreed, an obligor under a transferable record has the same rights and defenses as an equivalent obligor under equivalent records or writings under the Uniform Commercial Code. (e) If requested by a person against whom enforcement is sought, the person seeking to enforce the transferable record shall provide reasonable proof that the person is in control of the transferable record. Proof may include access to the authoritative copy of the transferable record and related business records sufficient to review the terms of the transferable record and to establish the identity of the person having control of the transferable record. (f) In this section, “transferable record” means an electronic record that (1) would be a note under AS 45.03 or a document under AS 45.07 if the electronic record were in writing; and (2) the issuer of the electronic record expressly has agreed is a transferable record.

(b) To the extent that a governmental agency uses electronic records and electronic signatures under (a) of this section, the governmental agency, giving due consideration to security, may specify (1) the manner and format in which the electronic records must be created, generated, sent, communicated, received, and stored and the systems established for those purposes; (2) if electronic records must be signed by electronic means, the type of electronic signature required, the manner and format in which the electronic signature must be affixed to the electronic record, and the identity of, or criteria that must be met by, a third party used by a person filing a document to facilitate the process; (3) control processes and procedures as appropriate to ensure adequate preservation, disposition, integrity, security, confidentiality, and auditability of electronic records; and (4) any other required attributes for electronic records that are specified for corresponding nonelectronic records or that are reasonably necessary under the circumstances. (c) Except as otherwise provided in AS 09.80.090(f), this chapter does not require a governmental agency of this state to use or permit the use of electronic records or electronic signatures.
