Abstract

The importance of the Domain Names has exceeded the importance of any other distinctive mark due to its cross borders nature. The Domain Names Registration Contract is an electronic contract. Therefore, it raises several legal questions such as the effectiveness and validity of the traditional provisions of the contract, especially when it is related to consumer protection. Another question that is raised is related to the international nature of this contract, which obliges us to deal with the private international law. There is a legislative absence in this concern, thus; it is a must to study the general rules of the contract in order to understand this contract. There is no doubt that this contract contains several arbitrary conditions that will affect the balance between the parties, which means there is an urge for a legislative intervention
