Abstract

Electronic contracts, especially electronic commerce, are common today because they provide many conveniences for both sellers and buyers. For sellers, e-commerce opens up a much wider market and can reduce the selling price as low as possible because it can reduce distribution and promotion costs. For buyers, e-commerce provides a large selection of products without having to spend time, energy and costs to find products directly. However, these various conveniences also bring up various problems in their implementation, to the detriment of both sellers, buyers and couriers and expedition companies, there are many cases that show that. This because in making an electronic contract the parties do not meet directly, so that there are certain parties who feel innocent when they do not fulfill what they have agreed, because they feel that no one is watching because the opposite party to the agreement cannot see directly.  This research examines the urgency of applying the Ilahiah Principle in the implementation of e-commerce with the approach and conclusion that the Ilahiah Principle is urgent to apply because it moves the parties to remain in good faith in the implementation of the agreement even though they do not meet in person because they feel there is a God who is watching.

Abstract

This study examines the legal validity of oral agreements in electronic-based arisan practices, commonly known as “online arisan.” The issue arises due to the lack of clear and comprehensive regulations governing online arisan, despite its rapid growth in Indonesia. This regulatory gap has resulted in frequent acts of default by both organizers and participants. Although online arisan is based on contractual agreements between members and organizers, its implementation must also comply with the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law), as the activities are carried out electronically. However, because online arisan is a relatively recent development, it has not been fully regulated under the ITE Law. Oral agreements in online arisan remain legally valid, as they meet the essential requirements for a binding contract under the Indonesian Civil Code. This is supported by Article 5(4) of the ITE Law, which affirms that online agreements do not always need to be made in writing. Nevertheless, oral agreements have limitations in evidentiary strength when disputes or breaches of contract arise. This study emphasizes the need for clearer and more detailed legal regulations to ensure legal certainty and protection for both organizers and participants in online arisan practices.

Abstract

This research raises the issues related to the provisions on interest rates, especially in personal loan agreements, is left to the discretion of the contracting parties based on the principle of freedom of contract. Even though the law provides a framework for regulating interest in agreements to control unreasonable interest practices, it unfortunately does not specify the maximum rate that may be agreed upon. Therefore, the application of the principle of fairness plays an important role in assessing and determining reasonable interest rates by the parties. This research uses normative legal research and employs statutory and case approaches, using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Legal material search techniques in this study include literature review, website or internet study, and document study, with legal material analysis using systematic interpretations. The results of the study shows that the main factors considered by judges in assessing reasonable interest rates in loan agreements include the agreement of the parties, legal regulations, comparisons with banking practices, principles of fairness and justice, and protection for the weaker party. Currently, there are no regulations governing the maximum interest rate that may be agreed upon in loan agreements outside formal financial institutions. This legal vacuum creates uncertainty and opens the door for the practice of excessively high interest rates that may harm borrowers. The application of the principle of fairness in loan agreements serves as an important legal mechanism to maintain balance, justice, and legal protection for all parties.
