Transaksi elektronik adalah  suatu transaksi perdagangan atau perniagaan baik berupa penyebaran, pembelian, penjualan, pemasaran barang dan jasa dengan menggunakan media elektronik yang terhubung melalui internet. Dengan adanya transaksi elektronik sangat menguntungkan bagi pihak konsumen dalam memilih berbagai jenis barang namun pelanggaran hak-hak konsumen sangat memungkinkan terjadi  mengingat transaksi elektronik mempunyai karakteristik yang berbeda dengan transaksi konvensional. Untuk itu diperlukannya perlingan hukum terhapa konsumen dalam jual beli barang yang mengandung unsure penyalahgunaan keadaan yang dihubungkan dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen (UUPK). Penyalahgunaan keadaan yang sering dilakukan oleh pihak pelaku usaha adalah melanggar Pasal 4 UUPK tentang hak-hak konsumen. Penyalahgunaan keadaan juga dapat dilakukan oleh pihak pelaku usaha dengan mencantumkan klausula baku tidak sesuai dengan Pasal 18 UUPK tentang larangan pencantuman klausula baku.  Akibat dari penyalahgunaan keadaan dari pihak pelaku usaha mengakibatkan pihak konsumen mengalami kerugian dan mengakibatkan terjadinya wanprestasi. Selain UUPK dalam transaksi elektronik mengenai perlindungan terhadap konsumen juga diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UUITE). UUITE menjelaskan tentang tanggung jawab pelaku usaha terhadap konsumen yang terdapat dalam Pasal 9 UUITE yang menyatakan bahwa,” Pelaku usaha yang menawarkan produk melalui sistem elektronik harus menyediakan informasi yang lengkap dan benar berkaitan dengan syarat kontrak, produsen, dan produk yang ditawarkan”. Pasal ini menjelaskan tanggung jawab pelaku usaha dalam memberikan informasi yang sebenarnya mengenai toko online miliknya dan informasi terkait pencantuman klausula baku untuk menghindari terjadinya wanprestasi antara pihak konsumen dan pelaku usaha. Dalam kondisi seperti ini sepatutnya negara hadir terutama dalam wujud hukum yang mengatur dan memberi perlindungan kepada konsumen, seperti yang dijelaskan dalam Pasal 1 angka 1  UUPK menyebutkan bahwa Perlindungan Konsumen adalah segala upaya yang menjamin adanya kepastian hukum untuk memberi perlindungan kepada konsumen.Electronic transaction is a trading or commercial transaction in the form of distributing, purchasing, selling, marketing of goods and services by using electronic media connected via internet. With the electronic transaction is very beneficial for the consumer in choosing various types of goods but violations of consumer rights is possible because electronic transactions have characteristics different from conventional transactions. Therefore, the need for legal relief on consumers in buying and selling of goods containing elements of misuse of the circumstances associated with the Act Number 8, 1999 concerning Customer Protection (UUPK). Abuse of the state that is often done by the business actor is violating Article 4 UUPK concerning consumer rights. Abuse of the situation can also be done by the business actor by stating the standard clause does not comply with Article 18 UUPK about the ban on the inclusion of the standard clause. As a result of misuse of the circumstances of the business actors resulted in the consumer losses and resulted in a default. In addition to UUPK in electronic transactions concerning consumer protection is also regulated in the Information and Electronic Transaction Act (UUITE). UUITE explains the business actors' responsibility to consumers contained in Article 9 UUITE states that, "Business actors offering products through electronic systems must provide complete and correct information relating to the terms of contracts, producers and offered products". This Article describes the responsibility of business actors in providing actual information about their online store and information related to the inclusion of standard clauses to avoid the occurrence of wanprestasi between the consumer and business actor. Under these circumstances, the state should be present primarily in the form of laws that regulate and provide protection to consumers, as described in Article 1 point 1 UUPK mention that Consumer Protection is any effort that ensures legal certainty to provide protection to consumers.

This paper aims to provide insights into the consumer protection in e-commerce in Indonesian context. In 2015, ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which includes Indonesia as a member, was established for a regional economic integration by reducing the transactions costs of trade, improving trade and business facilities, as well as enhancing the competitiveness of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises sector. AEC is expected to promote electronic transactions. Even though Indonesia has the Law Number 8 Year 1999 on Consumer Protection, this law does not regulate specifically on electronic transactions. In response to this limitation, Indonesia has issued the Law Number 11 Year 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions and Government Regulation Number 82 Year 2012 on the Implementation of Systems and Electronic Transactions. This is followed by enactment of Law Number 7 Years 2014 on Trade, which regulates general domestic trade, foreign trade, border trade and commerce through the electronic system. The law aims to stem the flood of products imported into Indonesia so that the use of domestic products can be increased. This paper concludes that legislations which regulate consumer protection in electronic transactions are still inadequate thus Indonesia is not fully ready to deal with the consumer protection in e-commerce. Keywords: Electronic contracts, consumer protection, Indonesia, ASEAN Economic Community.Cite as: Agustin, E. & Kurniawan, F.

Standard contract in electronic transactions in the business-to-consumer as contractonline is offered by business actor to consumers in the form of ‘take it or leave it’. Almostall standard contracts in electronic transaction cannot be negotiated. These contracts arebusinesses utilized to circumvent and ignore the rights of electronic consumers. This electronictransaction has its own characteristics when compared to conventional transactions. Basedon the principle of contract freedom, then the contract can be made in any form and bindingas law for the parties. Therefore the consumer protection should be equated with consumerconducting transactions conventionally. Under the provisions of UUPK stated that businessesare prohibited from creating a standard clause in the contract that the form of the transferof responsibility. Consequently, the violation of the provisions of the standard clause thathas been set by the business is declared null and void. The principle of responsibility is alsoadopted in principle of the presumption of UUPK is to always be responsible (presumptionof liability principle) by the burden of reversed proof. For greater protection for consumersin electronic transactions, it is right in Indonesia to implement the principle of absoluteliability in providing maximum legal protection for consumers in transactions in cyberspace.Keywords: Business Actors, Electronic Transactions Consumer, Contracts Materials,

The scientific article is devoted to the study of the state of legal regulation of consumer protection under distance contracts in Ukraine and its compliance with EU law. At the same time, the author analyzes the international legal documents, the current legislation of Ukraine and the views of other researchers of this problem. The author has identified a number of shortcomings in the legal regulation of consumer protection under distance contracts in Ukrainian legislation. In particular, the Law of Ukraine «On E-commerce» obscures the requirements for an online store, which are actually dealt with by buyers (potential buyers). The main disadvantage is that an online store is recognized as a means of presenting or selling a product, work or service through an electronic transaction and not as a party to an e-commerce relationship with the obligation to provide relevant information. The problems of concluding and executing electronic transactions are also considered. Attention is drawn to the fact that the dispositive wording of the essential terms of electronic transaction in domestic law does not comply with the Directive 2000/31 / EC on e-commerce. This inconsistency can be remedied by imposing a mandatory information requirement to be provided by the service provider to the recipient in accordance with the Directive, rather than a dispositive list of electronic contract requirements. Progressive and in line with EU law is the provision of the Law on e-Commerce of Ukraine, which prohibits the use and demand of personal data by parties to an electronic transaction for a purpose other than committing the transaction. It is concluded that the creation and implementation of an effective system of consumer protection in Ukraine based on EU law is possible only through the interaction of all components of the system of consumer protection.

  The thing to remember is that buying and selling online is on the principle is the same as the factual sale and purchase on generally. Consumer protection law related to sale transactions even buying online as we previously explained is no different with the applicable law in real buying and selling transactions. The difference is only in the use of internet facilities or means other telecommunications. The result is in buying and selling transactions online it is difficult to do execution or real action if there is a dispute or a criminal act of fraud. Deep cyber nature transactions electronically allows everyone either the seller not the buyer disguises or falsifies the identity inside every transaction or sale and purchase agreement. In the event that the business actor or seller is using an identity fake or gimmick in buying and selling online, then business actors can also be convicted based on Article 378 of the Book The Criminal Code (“KUHP”) on fraud and Article 28 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law on spreading fake news and misleading which results in consumer losses in Electronic Transactions.
