Abstract

The rapid growth of e-commerce has introduced numerous legal challenges that businesses must navigate to ensure the effectiveness and security of their digital transactions. This research examines the legal implications of business agreements in the digital era, focusing on the e-commerce sector. Key legal concerns addressed in the study include the enforceability of electronic contracts, data privacy compliance, intellectual property protection, consumer rights, and jurisdictional issues. Through a case study methodology, data was collected from industry experts, legal professionals, and businesses involved in e-commerce. The findings reveal that many e-commerce businesses struggle with ensuring the clarity and enforceability of electronic contracts, particularly in click-wrap and browse-wrap agreements. Additionally, data privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), present significant compliance challenges, especially for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions. Intellectual property protection is another critical issue, as businesses selling digital products face increased risks of piracy and unauthorized use. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of consumer protection, emphasizing the role of transparency and clear return policies in minimizing legal disputes. In conclusion, the research suggests that e-commerce businesses must adopt proactive legal strategies, including better contract management and adherence to data protection laws, to mitigate risks and thrive in the digital marketplace.

Abstract

This study examines the legal responsibility of companies towards consumers in the context of international consumer protection law. The main objective of this study is to analyze how the legal framework of consumer protection in different countries affects the level of corporate accountability. The results show that the successful implementation of consumer protection laws is highly dependent on the strength of national regulations and the strengthening of law enforcement, which in turn encourages more responsible corporate behavior. The study also finds that proactive judicial intervention and harmonization of international law, such as that carried out by the European Union, contribute to uniformity in the application of consumer protection. The development of e-commerce and digital risks also require changes in the legal system to protect consumers from threats such as privacy violations and online fraud. In addition, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives increasingly show that companies with strong CSR programs tend to exceed the minimum legal obligations to protect consumers. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of continued legal reform and international cooperation in strengthening consumer protection and promoting corporate accountability globally.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic role in the Indonesian economy, but often face major challenges in business competition, especially with large companies. Unfair business competition practices, such as monopolies, predatory pricing, and cartels, often harm MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the legal protection available to MSMEs in facing business competition, the effectiveness of existing regulations, and obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is a normative approach with an analysis of applicable laws and regulations, as well as an empirical approach through case studies related to business competition policies in Indonesia. The results of the study show that although there are regulations such as Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition and Law Number 20 of 2008 concerning Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, the implementation of legal protection still faces various obstacles. Lack of socialization of regulations, low legal awareness among MSMEs, and limitations in supervision by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) are the main factors that hinder the effectiveness of legal protection. Therefore, reforms are needed in business competition policy, increasing legal literacy for MSMEs, and synergy between the government, KPPU, and MSME associations to create a fairer and more competitive business ecosystem

Abstract

The increasing use of electronic transactions in the digital age has raised significant concerns regarding consumer protection. Consumers face various risks, such as fraud, product mismatch, delivery delays, and misuse of personal data. This research aims to analyze the juridical framework governing consumer protection in electronic transactions, particularly in Indonesia, where digital commerce is rapidly expanding. By applying a normative juridical method and qualitative analysis, the study reviews existing legislation, including Law No. 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, and evaluates its effectiveness in addressing current digital challenges. Findings show that despite having a legal framework, the enforcement and application of consumer protection laws in digital transactions remain limited and inconsistent. Many platforms do not fully comply with legal requirements related to transparency, dispute resolution, and data protection. The study includes statistical data and visual aids such as charts and tables to illustrate the scale of consumer issues in the digital environment. It concludes that there is a need for legal reform, stronger regulatory oversight, and greater platform accountability. Additionally, increasing public awareness and utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms can enhance consumer protection in the growing e-commerce ecosystem.
