E-Sign sets precise rules that businesses must follow when seeking consumer consent to electronic contracts. These include gaining a consumer's "affirmative consent" to receive contractual information electronically, making clear when consent is for more than a single transaction, and spelling out the procedures and price for withdrawing consent in the future.
