Abstract

The abundance of rights in consumer protection is caused by the fact that consumers are important economic actors because, in the absence of consumers in producing goods or services, an economy will not run. If the products/services produced are not following the demand from the constituents, then consumer satisfaction will be minimal. Hence, there is inequality in the economy and the production of a good or service. However, there are still many things that have not been regulated in protecting consumers, especially electronic goods, and the lack of socialization about the rights and obligations of the parties, both sellers and consumers. Therefore, the author wants to formulate the problem in this study as follows “How is the regulation of rights and obligations of the parties in the sale and purchase agreement of electronic goods?”. The theory used in this study is the idealized theory of the state of law that the law should be made a commander in the dynamics of state life. This research uses normative research methods, which examine the laws conceptualized as applicable norms or rules by researching through books or literature y yang, often referred to as literature studies. The parties have their respective rights and obligations, including for buyers to have rights such as comfort, security, and security in consuming these goods. Besides that, they can choose and extinguish goods and/or services per the seller's exchange rate, conditions, and guarantees. However, buyers also have obligations such as paying according to the previously agreed exchange rate. Business actors have rights such as getting payments following the agreement and getting legal protection from consumers who do not have good faith. The obligations of business actors are in good faith in carrying out their business activities, providing true, clear, and truthful information about the condition of the goods and/or services being traded, and so on. The rights and obligations of the parties to the sale and purchase agreement have been regulated. However, it is better to reproduce or be given specifics regarding the agreement for the sale and purchase of electronic goods in conventional and electronic transactions to protect the parties because good faith alone cannot be a reference. Because there is no clear classification of the extent to which we determine the good faith of a person or a legal subject.
