Northern Territory Consolidated Acts Northern Territory Consolidated Acts(1) Subject to subsection (2), sections 7 and 13 to 13B apply to the following in the same way as they apply to a transaction or electronic communication mentioned in those sections, and apply as if the words "For the purposes of a law of the Territory" were omitted:
(a) a transaction constituted by or relating to a contract;
(b) an electronic communication relating to the formation or performance of a contract.
(2) However, this Part (including subsection (1)) does not apply in relation to a contract to the extent that:
(a) Part 2 would of its own force have the same effect as this Part if this Part applied; or
(b) a law of another State or Territory (that is in substantially the same terms as Part 2) would of its own force have the same effect as this Part if this Part applied.
Note for section 14E
This section applies provisions of Part 2 to contracts or proposed contracts to the extent that those provisions do not apply merely because they are expressed to apply in relation to a law of the Territory. This section also disapplies the provisions of Part 2A to the extent that Part 2 would apply of its own force. An example where Part 2 may not apply of its own force is where a contract is being negotiated in a State or Territory from a supplier located overseas.
