What it requires
- Do not appropriate, access, use, modify, suppress, or disable data stored on a computer or other computer medium without authorization, where doing so harms the data's owner.

Article 363 ter, inserted alongside article 363 bis by Ley No. 1768, punishes whoever, without being authorized, appropriates, accesses, uses, modifies, suppresses, or disables data stored on a computer or any computer medium, causing harm to the owner of the information, with prestación de trabajo (a community-service sentence, one of the Código Penal's four principal penalties) of up to one year or a fine of up to two hundred day-fines (días multa).
Because it turns on acting sin estar autorizado (without authorization), this is the article that would reach a scraper who defeats an access control to appropriate or use data it was not authorized to take. Like article 363 bis, it was listed among the norms Ley No. 1005 purported to abrogate in 2017, but Ley 1005 was itself abrogated by Ley No. 1027 before Ley 1005's eighteen-month deferred entry into force elapsed, so article 363 ter was never actually displaced.
