Normative juridical research method with a qualitative approach. The legal basis for online transactions is the same as transactions in general, referring to the basic provisions of Article 1320 of the Civil Code as a condition for the validity of the agreement, whereas online sales and purchase agreements remain as valid as conventional sales and purchase agreements, if they still comply with Article 1320 of the Civil Code. If the consumer's rights are not fulfilled, the consumer can take legal action as regulated in Article 38 and Article 39 paragraph (2) of the ITE Law and Article 47 and Article 48 of the Consumer Protection Law.
