Vermont § 279 - 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:

§ 279. 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:

• (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
  or on the part of 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 neither subdivision (1) nor (2) of this section applies, the change or error has
  the effect provided by other law, including the law of mistake, and the parties’ contract,
  if any. (4) Subdivisions (2) and (3) of this section may not be varied by agreement. (Added 2003, No. 44, § 1, eff
