 An issuer or nominated person has a security interest in a document presented under a letter of credit to the extent that the issuer or nominated person honors or gives value for the presentation.   So long as and to the extent that an issuer or nominated person has not been reimbursed or has not otherwise recovered the value given with respect to a security interest in a document under subsection (a), the security interest continues and is subject to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but:    A security agreement is not necessary to make the security interest enforceable under Section 75-9-203(b)(3);   If the document is presented in a medium other than a written or other tangible medium, the security interest is perfected; and   If the document is presented in a written or other tangible medium and is not a certificated security, chattel paper, a document of title, an instrument, or a letter of credit, the security interest is perfected and has priority over a conflicting security interest in the document so long as the debtor does not have possession of the document.

MS Code § 75-12-9 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-9. Use of electronic records and electronic signatures; variation by agreement

 This chapter does not require a record or signature to be created, generated, sent, communicated, received, stored, or otherwise processed or used by electronic means or in electronic form.   This chapter applies only to transactions between parties each of which has agreed to conduct transactions by electronic means. Whether the parties agree to conduct a transaction by electronic means is determined from the context and surrounding circumstances, including the parties' conduct.   A party that agrees to conduct a transaction by electronic means may refuse to conduct other transactions by electronic means. The right granted by this subsection may not be waived by agreement.   Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the effect of any of its provisions may be varied by agreement. The presence in certain provisions of this chapter of the words "unless otherwise agreed", or words of similar import, does not imply that the effect of other provisions may not be varied by agreement.   Whether an electronic record or electronic signature has legal consequences is determined by this chapter and other applicable law.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-11. Construction and application

MS Code § 75-12-13 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-13. Legal recognition of electronic records, electronic signatures and electronic contracts

 A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form.   A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation.   If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law.   If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law.
MS Code § 75-12-15 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-15. Provision of information in writing; presentation of records

 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.   If a law other than this chapter requires a record (i) to be posted or displayed in a certain manner, (ii) to be sent, communicated, or transmitted by a specified method, or (iii) to contain information that is formatted in a certain manner, the following rules apply:    The record must be posted or displayed in the manner specified in the other law.   Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d)(2), the record must be sent, communicated, or transmitted by the method specified in the other law.   The record must contain the information formatted in the manner specified in the other law.    If a sender inhibits the ability of a recipient to store or print an electronic record, the electronic record is not enforceable against the recipient.   The requirements of this section may not be varied by agreement, but:   To the extent a law other than this chapter requires information to be provided, sent, or delivered in writing but permits that requirement to be varied by agreement, the requirement under subsection (a) that the information be in the form of an electronic record capable of retention may also be varied by agreement; and   A requirement under a law other than this chapter to send, communicate, or transmit a record by first class mail, postage prepaid or regular United States mail, may be varied by agreement to the extent permitted by the other law.
MS Code § 75-12-17 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-17. Attribution and effect of electronic record and electronic signature

 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 which the electronic record or electronic signature was attributable.   The effect of an electronic record or electronic signature attributed to a person under subsection (a) 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.
MS Code § 75-12-19 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-19. Effect of change or error

 If a change or error in an electronic record occurs in a transmission between parties to a transaction, the following rules apply:    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.   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:   If neither paragraph (1) nor paragraph (2) applies, the change or error has the effect provided by other law, including the law of mistake, and the parties' contract, if any.   Paragraphs (2) and (3) may not be varied by agreement.    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;   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   Has not used or received any benefit or value from the consideration, if any, received from the other person.
MS Code § 75-12-21 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-21. Notarization and acknowledgment

 If a law requires a signature or record to be notarized, acknowledged, verified, or made under oath, the requirement is satisfied if the electronic signature of the person authorized to perform those acts, together with all other information required to be included by other applicable law, is attached to or logically associated with the signature or record.
MS Code § 75-12-23 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-23. Retention of electronic records; originals

 If a law requires that a record be retained, the requirement is satisfied by retaining an electronic record of the information in the record which:    Accurately reflects the information set forth in the record at the time it was first generated in its final form as an electronic record or otherwise; and   Remains accessible for later reference.    A requirement to retain a record in accordance with subsection (a) does not apply to any information the sole purpose of which is to enable the record to be sent, communicated, or received.   A person may satisfy subsection (a) by using the services of another person if the requirements of that subsection are satisfied.   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 subsection (a).   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 subsection (a).   A record retained as an electronic record in accordance with subsection (a) satisfies a law requiring a person to retain a record for evidentiary, audit, or like purposes, unless a law enacted after July 1, 2001, specifically prohibits the use of an electronic record for the specified purpose.   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.
MS Code § 75-12-25 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-25. Admissibility in evidence

 In a proceeding, evidence of a record or signature may not be excluded solely because it is in electronic form.
MS Code § 75-12-27 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 12 - Uniform Electronic Transactions Act|§ 75-12-27. Automated transaction

 In an automated transaction, the following rules apply:    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.   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 which the individual knows or has reason to know will cause the electronic agent to complete the transaction or performance.   The terms of the contract are determined by the substantive law applicable to it.
