The use of electronic means to conclude contracts raises many problems, mainly the problem of the determination of the time of the conclusion of those contracts. So, what is the time of the conclusion of the contract when it is made with the use of electronic means? I try in this research to answer this question and determine the time of the electronic contract in the Bahraini and Emirate legislations and the United Nations Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts (ECC). In the quest to address this problem and determine the time of the electronic contract, I will explain problems raised by electronic communications, clarify the attitude of electronic transactions laws to the determination of the time of transmission and receipt of electronic messages. Then, I will apply the general principles of the determination of the conclusion of contract between absents on the electronic contracting, show the adaptation of these general principles to the electronic contract, and deal with the attitude of the Bahraini and Emirate legislations and the ECC on the use of electronic communications in international contracts. In the end, I conclude my research with the determination of the time of electronic contract according to laws under study, and presentation of the most important findings and recommendations.
