Abstract

The Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency is essential in regulating standard clauses in consumer contracts and adjudicating conflicts between consumers and businesses. This paper analyses BPSK's jurisdiction, efficacy, and obstacles in overseeing standard clauses, which are frequently formulated unilaterally by commercial entities and may prejudice consumers. This study employs a normative legal research methodology alongside Socio-Legal Research to examine the legislative framework regulating BPSK and the practical difficulties encountered in overseeing unfair standard clauses. Research reveals that BPSK encounters substantial challenges, such as inadequate resources, minimal consumer knowledge, ineffective enforcement mechanisms, and the intricacies of digital transactions. The agency is devoid of the authority to enforce direct sanctions, depending instead on mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. Consequently, numerous enterprises persist in incorporating inequitable clauses in contracts without encountering significant repercussions, thereby diminishing the overall efficacy of consumer protection initiatives. Moreover, the proliferation of e-commerce and digital transactions introduces new issues, as typical provisions in online agreements frequently exhibit complexity and lack transparency, thereby complicating customer scrutiny.
