New Jersey § 12a:12-8

§ 12a:12-8.

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. b. If a law other than this act requires a record to be posted or displayed in a certain

manner, to be sent, communicated or transmitted by a specified method, or to contain

information that is formatted in a certain manner, the following apply: (1) The record shall be posted or displayed in the manner specified in the other law. (2) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (2) of subsection d. of this section,

the record shall be sent, communicated or transmitted by the method specified in the

other law. (3) The record shall contain the information formatted in the manner specified in

the other law. c. 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. d. The requirements of this section may not be varied by agreement, but: (1) to the extent a law other than this act requires information to be provided, sent,

or delivered in writing but permits that requirement to be varied by agreement, the

requirement under subsection a. of this section that the information be in the form

of an electronic record capable of retention may also be varied by agreement; and (2) a requirement under a law other than this act to send, communicate, or transmit

a record by United States mail, may be varied by agreement to the extent permitted

by the other law.
