Abstract

In the electronic era of globalization, cloud computing has become a defining phenomenon. This new development has attracted the attention of many legal scholars due to the risks associated with its widespread use in daily life. This article describes and analyzes one of the most fundamental elements related to cloud computing contracts. To obtain the desired service from the provider, the user is required to accept certain terms and conditions associated with the service. A potential issue that may arise concerns the nature of these terms and conditions and whether their content is legally binding. To address this question, this paper examines the issue of mutual assent from a comparative perspective, considering Omani, Jordanian, and Kuwaiti law. The analysis reveals that modifying the legal texts governing acts of deception as a defect of will especially in the legislations studied in this research in order to include gross injustice (blind greed) as an effect resulting from deception aims to allow the user, in both general and electronic contracts, the right to rescind the contractual relationship. This measure intends to preserve the stability of transactions within society and ensure their integrity. Additionally, the paper discusses amending the legal provision related to exempting the advertiser from liability, so that the advertiser's responsibility becomes joint and several with the service provider. This aims to ensure the seriousness of advertisements and to prevent misinformation.
