Except as otherwise provided in sections 42a-2A-207 to 42a-2A-210, inclusive, the following rules apply:

(1) A lease contract may be formed by the interaction of electronic agents. If the interaction resulting from the electronic agents' engaging in operations is sufficient to show an agreement under section 42a-2A-203 or 42a-2A-205, a lease contract is formed unless the operations resulted from fraud, electronic mistake or the like.

(2) A lease 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 lease contract is formed if the individual takes actions that the individual is free to refuse to take or makes a statement that the individual has reason to know will:

(A) Cause the electronic agent to complete the transaction or performance; or

(B) Indicate acceptance of an offer, regardless of other expressions or actions by the individual to which the electronic agent cannot react.

(3) In an interaction between individuals, if an offer evokes an electronic message in response, a lease contract is formed:

(A) If the offer is accepted under section 42a-2A-205, when the acceptance is received; or

(B) If the offer is accepted by an electronic performance, when the performance is received, unless the originating message required acceptance in a different manner.
