(B) A consumer's agreement to conduct a transaction or a part of a transaction electronically shall not be inferred solely from the fact that the consumer has used electronic means to pay an account or register a purchase or warranty.

(2) "State agency" means every organized body, office, or agency established by the laws of the state for the exercise of any function of state government.
