1 - from business to business / (business-to-business)

And shortened in many researches in (B2B).

2 - from Business to consumer / (Business to consumer)

And captures in many of the research are (B2C) , A concept toddler e-commerce among Internet users, and the difference between them as indicating Tobeirehma is on both sides of the contractual relationship, and in the goal of electronic exchange shop, they are in the business environment (B2B) relationship between the two frames of work Tires that network-based way to manage their activities and as a means to accomplish work-related relationships, and goal achievement and achieve business activity carried out by the established requirements, either in the relationship with the customer environment (B2C) it is the relationship between e-commerce site is practiced and the customer (buyer or student service) and aim to meet the demands and wishes of the customer and their content is limited as provided by the location of the products offered for purchase or services before the hand offered to customers.

* The general environment for e-commerce

There is a logical fact, do not e-commerce without electronic means, and certainly, if the expression means compact technology is a computer system, in the broadest sense, which allows connectivity between him and other regulations, in order to ensure the exchange and transfer of information, and achieve entry operations (ACCESS) to the system and from it to other systems, and electronic commerce, it is a computer and network and solutions and site and content, the computer allows data entry, processing and design presentation and retrieval, and network service that allows transmission of information in two directions, from the system and to the system, and solutions that allow enforcement facility obligations, and the customer's enforcement of its obligations (solutions or e-commerce software), and the web site to display products or services, and related in the addendum to the media activities and marketing mechanisms, and the content is the same vocabulary the location of products and services and the related, but within the framework of the offer catalyst for admission, and the detector for the technical capacity of the site and specific (e-commerce solutions) and marketing, and within this general concept to the needs of e-commerce, involving all the means to exercise their activities from hardware and software, and solutions and networks, and means of communication, and the exchange of data, and subscriptions on the network, and solutions regarding information security, and implementation of processes to fulfill in the price, and the provision of services on the line, and because the internet is a network of all networks, it has been associated with development of e-commerce, but their presence in our time in the network Internet .

The Internet has changed the face of commerce and the business world, and has contributed to the Internet network (intranet and extranet) in achieving the actual existence of e-commerce, and according to statistical studies, official reports and private entities, the significant growth and steady has been achieved in the Internet services market and the trend towards e-commerce, and increased global network users in the proportion of 55%, and increased service locations in the ratio of 128%, and increased the proportion of URLs Recorded in the ratio of 137%.

According to a recent study conducted by the World Data Corporation (IDC) and the increasing number of Internet service providers (ISPs) in the United States amounted to 41%, and the annual increase rate of 28% for the years from 2003 to 2015 while the study indicates that provide the service market, And in fact applied to e-commerce take many styles, such as a fashion show cash payments in the financial cards, or other means of paying cash and set up virtual stores, or stores that sell on the Internet, and do in the supply activities, and distribution, and agency business via the Internet, and the practice of financial services, and transportation and shipping and other services via the Internet.

And e-commerce applications are divided into three parts: -

1. Purchase and sale of products, and is what is called in the electronic market.

2. facilitating and facilitating the flow of information and communication, and collaboration between companies, and between different parts of a single company.

3. Providing customer service.

Usually electronic trade between the three parties are individuals and the business sector (institutions or companies) in various types and sizes, and government agencies.

The deal between these parties as divided into four main types comes, namely: -

1. E-commerce companies to individuals (Business - Consumer) and abbreviated "symbol B2C

2. E-commerce companies to companies (Business - Business) and abbreviated "symbol B2B

3. E-Commerce between government sectors and individuals (Consumer to Government).

4. E-Commerce between government sectors and companies (Business to Covernment).

And considers the trade relations between the business sector and individuals, and between businesses among them, more parties discourse in electronic commerce, and is expected to handle the trade electronically, among other parties, and will increase in the future, this could be the distinction between e-commerce pure, and Electronic commerce District, by relying on the degree of

technical product, and the scientific and technical, and on the mediator technical or agent, and are either concrete or digital, and any agent can be either tangible or digital, and any process either tangible or digital, Accordingly, the trade is divided into three sections: -

1. purely traditional trade.

2. E-Commerce purely.

3. E-Commerce partial.

When a concrete agent to be, and my concrete and practical concrete, that type of trade will be a traditional purely trade, and when the digital agent, and my digital, and process digital, that type of trade will be the E-Commerce purely, and if one of the three factors become digital concrete and the rest, there will be a combination of traditional commerce, and e-commerce, and called on the mix in the e-commerce partial.

* Electronic contracts Web Wrap Agreement or Clickwrap Contracts

Before that there will be Internet pages, web pages, there was software, just as it has become for Web pages, Web decades (Web wrap agreements) was a ready-made (Software) similar contracts named (Shrinkwrap agreement) & Chains (Shrink wrap agreement) , is licensing agreements (transport) licenses that accompany the programs, which are the two forms, the first, which licenses appear on the screen during the process of downloading the software on the device, usually the user does not read it, but only just in the pressure on the words (I agree) or (I accept) It's mail contract, which finds its presence at the front of any program will be preceded by the download process (Install).

The second picture, and is the reason for taking this name (which means permit the resolution of the package), and it is a license to be with the program offered for sale in stores that sell software package, and this license usually appear under the laminate on the package, usually begin with the words (In the just resolution of this package, you agree to the terms of the license), hence the common expression (packaging resolving license).

And this way, in fact, compelling way to a contract, but they were not days and clear way, and were not you feel that the contract is binding, because no one cares to read the license before packaging the resolution, and not even after the packaging resolution, and perhaps a limited number of people who kept in the license itself, and from here the way the courts rejected at the first stage, but in the recent period, specifically in 1998, and in one case which is between the months of licenses package resolving issues, an issue (Pro CD v. Zeienberg), Ruled the US / Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to accept Authentic this decade compared to the contracts, which are not going to know the terms of the contract, only after the payment actually like plane tickets, insurance policies and contracts, and the packaging is the resolution of decades. Such as historical and practical basis for decades Web or electronic contracts, and will be for the last decade the role of electronic contracts in the field, when the measurement replaced with legal electronic contracts, search, and will be e-decade legal measure in its value against the US courts.

The contract (Click Wrap Contract) most common form of contract-mail, and is designed to hold an environment of activity (on-line) as in the case of the Internet, and in the presence of the contract document printed on the site, including the rights and obligations of the parties the user and the party responsible for the website, finished up in place to print acceptance statement or to put pressure on one of the two ferries (accept) or (do not buy), or similar expressions, and returns the name it referred to the fact that the contract is in pressure (Click) the mouse tool, either the icon position included the phrase (I accept), or dedicated to reprint this statement for purposes of space where the cursor is positioned over the pressure in the mouse.

And electronic contract for all the behaviors used replace agreements on the network, and in a major way through, or software programs or files on the World Wide Web download, and access to the website services, and specifically that require a special subscription in some cases, or a request for financial compensation, or for the purpose of obtaining the service such as chat service, and newsgroups or declaration and evidence), or for the purposes of registration and lumpy commitment, in service before enforcement for free in the conditions of the website, such as free e-services, and free hosting and other services, and also through the conclusion of legal acts on the line, such as sales and acquisitions ,, rental, and a loan application, and make a bank transfer process, and the conclusion of insurance policies, and pay the price and others.

And in terms of the importance of e-contract, the electronic contracts technology provides the capacity contracted on the network and in their environment, and access to services and goods, and works at the cheapest price, and through check lists well-known and wide, and from any website, or source suppliers on Line (OSP), also allows the supplier to determine its obligations in clarity, and determine the scope of responsibility for the error and the damage caused by the contract, or the cause of the place of contracting, such as software errors and problems, and contribute to facilitate the prosecution, and the prosecution between the two parties, as determined by the rules comprehensive in the ratio of rights and obligations.

And multiple types of electronic contracts entered into in terms of mechanism and can be replayed in the face in the two methods, either in decades are just a click on the icon (Rectangular box) acceptance, and called (Icon Clicking) or contracts are in the print statement that acceptance (Type & Click) in terms of the contracts shop extends to the types of non-exclusive, in consideration of these contracts related to the products, services and applications.
