This book outlines the extent to which these new and innovative technologies could have potentially disruptive effects on contract law in Europe. It does so through a comparative, three-part analysis of the recognisability and effects of smart contracts in European legal systems. First of all, in light of the technologies? transboundary nature, the book employs a comparative approach, considering French law, German law, English law, and Dutch law to analyse the impact on the different systems of contract law. While doing so, it also addresses the formation, interpretation, and vitiation of contracts. Secondly, it analyses the impact of these technologies on European laws regarding unfair terms in consumer contracts and argues that the existing rules should be applied to smart legal agreements in business-to-consumer relations. Lastly, it analyses the current European rules of private international law on the basis of which jurisdiction and applicable law are developed. In this respect, the book concludes that the vast majority of these European rules are ?smart contract-proof?. 410 0$aLaw, Governance and Technology Series,$x2352-1910 ;$v56 606 $aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation 606 $aMass media$xLaw and legislation 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aInternational law 606 $aComparative law 606 $aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property 606 $aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law 615 0$aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aMass media$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aComparative law. 615 14$aIT Law, Media Law, Intellectual Property. 615 24$aPrivate International Law, International and Foreign Law, Comparative Law. 676 $a346.4022 700 $aVerstappen$b Jasper$01372791 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734866503321 996 $aLegal Agreements on Smart Contract Platforms in European Systems of Private Law$93403632 997 $aUNINA
