ALDABOUSI, Ahmed Moustafa. The legal problems facing the conclusion of cloud computing contracts. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.3, pp. 602-611.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 2218-3620.

Cloud computing is an electronic service provided through legal transactions conducted by modern digital means, allowing for a quick and easy transition from pre-contracting to post-contracting stages, although it is in fact a legal contract. However, in the United Arab Emirates, the legislator has not adequately addressed the legal regulation for the conclusion of cloud contracts, leading to various legal problems that require specific solutions. The aim of this study is to specify the concept and nature of the contractual relationship between the parties of cloud contracts, identify the problems facing the conclusion process of cloud contracts, and suggest necessary solutions to create a legal regulation for this type of digital contracts. As a result, it is recommended to regularize cloud contracts as a new type and a new contract form of electronic contracts and to adapt them as special type contract agreements to protect users. Measures must be taken to identify and address current problems and create a legal framework that specifies the legal nature of cloud contracts and their effects on the rights and obligations of the involved parties.
