Abstract :
Electronic contracts have occupied a wide area of contracts, which is increasing with the advancement of technology. With the increasing trend of this type of contracts, these types of questions are raised; For example, are these contracts among public contracts? What is the basis of the guarantees of contract performance when the parties do not even know each other? How have the civil law of Iran and France defined the rules surrounding these contracts? These types of contracts are covered by the general rules of contracts, which follow the laws related to electronic commerce and civil law. However, how these contracts comply with general rules in different countries may have differences. In particular, there are various rules regarding the obligations arising from electronic contracts, which we have tried to discuss in this article about their dimensions in Iranian and French law. Our method in this article is based on the method of library study and is done in a descriptive-analytical way.

forme la matière de l'engagement; Une cause licite dans l'obligation.
Article 1159: "That which is ambiguous is interpreted by the usage in the region where the
contract was made". (Ce qui est ambigu s'interprète par ce qui est d'usage dans le pays où
le contrat est passé).
Article 1160: "Clauses which are customary are to be supplied in the contract even though they

quoiqu'elles n'y soient pas exprimées).

une ou plusieurs autres, à donner, à faire ou à ne pas faire quelque chose.
Article 1134: "Les conventions légalement formées tiennent lieu de loi à ceux qui les ont faites.
Elles ne peuvent être révoquées que de leur consentement mutuel, ou pour les causes que la loi

simple retard.
