Abstract

The development of information and communication technology in the current industrial revolution has transformed the global commercial landscape, including in Indonesia. Trading activities, which previously relied on physical interactions and the exchange of tangible goods, have now undergone a massive transformation toward practical digitalization. The method used in this research is a statute approach, which involves an in-depth study of relevant laws and regulations to gain the necessary legal understanding. Conclusion of this thesis Digital works transactions in electronic contracts have unique characteristics and are different from conventional transactions, namely intangible, take place electronically, and involve parties who often do not know each other physically, thus placing the buyer in a more vulnerable position. The legal position of the parties in this transaction has basically been recognized and protected by positive Indonesian law, especially through the ITE Law which recognizes the validity of electronic contracts as legally binding agreements like conventional contracts. That default in digital works transactions comes in various forms, ranging from non-delivery of digital works after payment is made, the work sent does not match what was agreed, to the seller who suddenly disappears without a trace after receiving payment, and all forms of default give rise to legal consequences in the form of the buyer's right to demand compensation, cancellation of the contract, or fulfillment of performance as regulated in the Civil Code.
