《电子交易条例》（香港法例第553章）（下称「该条例」）于2000年首次通过，其立法原意旨在促进电子交易的合法性及普及性，为电子签署及电子合约的法律效力提供法律框架。该条例的主要目的是确保一般电子交易在法律上与传统的纸质交易具有同等法律效力，从而促进电子商务及数字经济的发展。

该条例第17条订明电子合约不妨碍合约的有效性及可强制执行性。相比纸质交易，该条例为交易各方提供以下便利：

随着电子交易日趋普及，香港政府以《2024年电子交易（豁免）（修订）（第2号）令》（L.N. 142 of 2024）（下称「修改令一」）及《2024年电子交易条例（修订附表3）（第2号）令》（L.N. 143 of 2024）（下称「修改令二」）修订了该条例及《电子交易（豁免）令》（香港法例第553B章）（下称「该附属条例」），以适应新的市场需求和技术发展。修订于2024年12月13日起实施，其摘要如下：

上述修订突显香港政府致力透过法律来适应科技发展的决心。该条例及该等附属条例不仅有助提高交易效率，亦减少纸质文件的需求，从而降低运营成本。就金融机构而言，这意味着可以更快地处理交易，提升客户体验，并加强市场竞争力。本所预计，随着香港继续发展成为国际创新及科技中心，该条例及该附属条例将作进一步修订，以扩大电子服务的应用范围，进一步巩固香港作为国际金融中心的地位。
