Abstract: This study aims to explain the applicable legal system, which governs the conduct of transactions and contracts that apply according to the electronic commerce and electronic transactions system, through a statement of the law applicable to the relationship between the two parties under the Jordanian law and the law related to these issues governing electronic contracting operations. The research was carried out from a legal point of view based on the Jordanian laws related to this subject, the Jordanian Electronic Transactions Law, and with reference to the international conventions related to electronic commerce, which are centred on international business operations and international obligations on international electronic commerce, especially the two model laws. The most important findings are that the objective rules governing issues related to international electronic commerce contracts continue to play the role of completeness, allowing them to apply the conflict of laws approach to electronic commerce contracts.

Keywords: electronic commerce contracts; law applicable; international contracts; Jordanian law.
