14A. (1) Where a natural person in relation to the formation or performance of an electronic contract, makes an input error in an electronic communication exchanged with the automated message system of another party and the automated message system does not provide the person with an opportunity to correct the error, that person, or the party on whose behalf that person was acting, has the right to withdraw the portion of the electronic communication in which the input error was made, if-

the person, or the party on whose behalf that person was acting, notifies the other party of the error as soon as possible after having learned of the error and indicates that he made an error in the electronic communication; and

the person, or the party on whose behalf that person was acting, has not used or received any material benefit or value from the goods and services, if any, received from the other party.

Nothing in this section affects the application of any rule of law that may govern the consequences of any error other than as provided for in subsection (1).”.
