The Communications and Information Technology Commission in Saudi Arabia obliged all telecommunications service providers to use electronic contracts.
The commission banned paper contracts in all its branches and outlets. This obligation will enter into force in 90 days, the commission announced through its official Twitter account on Sunday.
The authority obliged companies to dispense paper contracts and use e-contracts, sign them and verify identity digitally.
With this approach, the Saudi commission seeks to enable digital transformation, develop its services, and facilitate transactions between all parties, it referred.
It is noteworthy that the telecommunications services in Saudi Arabia are provided by the Saudi Telecom Company (STC), Etihad Etisalat Company (Mobily), the Mobile Telecommunication Company Saudi Arabia (Zain KSA) and Etihad Atheeb Telecommunication Company (GO).
