What type of transactions does the UETA cover in North Carolina?

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) in North Carolina is designed to facilitate and promote the use of electronic records and signatures in various types of transactions. Specifically, UETA covers transactions that can be conducted electronically, which includes not only intrastate commerce but also interstate transactions.

The reason the choice indicating intrastate commerce is considered correct is that UETA applies primarily to transactions within North Carolina that do not cross state lines, explicitly recognizing the validity of electronic signatures and records in these situations. However, it's important to understand that its application is not limited strictly to intrastate dealings, as it generally includes a wide range of electronic transactions.

Other options do not accurately encompass the scope of UETA. For instance, the choice referring to only property transactions fails to recognize the broader applicability of UETA beyond just real estate, while the option indicating legal contracts only overlooks the various types of transactions UETA supports, which can include commercial dealings, consumer transactions, and more. Additionally, the claim regarding international and interstate commerce does have relevance in broader discussions about electronic transactions, but if the focus is on UETA’s applicability strictly in North Carolina, intrastate commerce is the most direct answer.
