Characteristics of the Sales Contract in E- commerce under Jordanian Legislation. Analytical Study

Abstract

In e-Commerce, sales contract is a vital element in the trading and selling of commodities and in the provision of services, resulting in increased production and profit. Sales contract assures that commodities are efficiently delivered to consumers with consideration towards consumer needs, and supply and demand. This study examined one major issue relating to sales contract in e-Commerce, a vital mechanism in economic development, by combining sales contracts on products and services. For consumer protection, Jordanian legislators should ratify rules and regulations to govern the practices between parties. A descriptive analytical method was applied in this study for its suitability in legal provisions initiation.  Analyses were performed to attain outcomes that will fill the research gaps concerning sales contract aside from determining a legal way for contract in e-Commerce. In Jordan, the lack of legal regulatory framework that stimulates sales contract has caused issues among producers, distributors, and consumers.
