Article (17)
A location is not a place of business merely because that is where equipment or any other
part of an information system used by a party in connection with a transaction is located
or where an information system used by a party in connection with a transaction may be
accessed by other parties.
Article (18)
The sole fact that a party makes use of a domain name or electronic mail address
connected to a specific country does not create a presumption that its place of business is
located in that country.

Where a natural person makes an unintentional entry or any error in entering information
in a data message exchanged with the automated message system of another party and the

withdraw the portion of the data message in which the input error was made provided that
the person or the party on whose behalf that person was acting:
