(b) This chapter applies only to transactions between parties each of whom has agreed to conduct transactions by electronic means. Whether the parties agree to conduct a transaction by electronic means is determined from the context and surrounding circumstances, including the parties' conduct.

The presence in certain provisions of this chapter of the words "unless otherwise agreed," or words of similar meaning, does not imply that the effect of other provisions may not be varied by agreement.
