 Results: The legitimacy of the electronic delivery service contract, the most prominent characteristics of which are: that it is a contract of exchange, and that it is a consensual contract, which is concluded by offer and acceptance, without any other condition, and that it is a binding contract for both parties, and it is one of the contracts composed of two contracts: the first: between the company and the customer, and the other: between the company and the driver, the company and the driver are joint employees, as the company provides services to more than one customer, and the driver can contract with more than one company at the same time.
