- Abstract
Technological advancements have ushered in a new era in the global economy commonly referred to as the digital economy. The presence of this phenomenon is characterized by the growing prevalence of economic activities that employ the internet as a means of communication. For instance, the trade industry increasingly depends on electronic commerce, also referred to as e-commerce, as a means of conducting transactions, hence facilitating the process of doing business transactions. It is undeniable that transactions through e-commerce allow default to occur, so there is a need for legal protection for consumers as stipulated in Articles 4 and 7 of the Consumer Protection Act. Business actors must be responsible for their negligence. As for the form of responsibility of business actors in e-commerce default disputes as specified in Article 19 paragraph (1) of the Consumer Protection Law that business actors have the responsibility to compensate the aggrieved party. Settlement of default disputes in e-commerce buying and selling transactions can be resolved through non-litigation or litigation through local courts, as stipulated in Article 47 of the Consumer Protection Law.
