Maryland Commercial Law Section 22-206

      (a)      A contract may be formed by the interaction of electronic agents. If the interaction results in the electronic agents' engaging in operations that under the circumstances indicate acceptance of an offer, a contract is formed, but a court may grant appropriate relief if the operations resulted from fraud, electronic mistake, or the like.

      (b)      A contract may be formed by the interaction of an electronic agent and an individual acting on the individual's own behalf or for another person. A contract is formed if the individual takes an action or makes a statement that the individual can refuse to take or say and that the individual has reason to know will:

            (1)      Cause the electronic agent to perform, provide benefits, or allow the use or access that is the subject of the contract, or send instructions to do so; or

            (2)      Indicate acceptance, regardless of other expressions or actions by the individual to which the individual has reason to know the electronic agent cannot react.

      (c)      The terms of a contract formed under subsection (b) of this section are determined under § 22-208 or § 22-209 of this subtitle but do not include a term provided by the individual if the individual had reason to know that the electronic agent could not react to the term.
