Abstract

This study discusses the legal dynamics of electronic contracts in the digital era, focusing on a review of civil law in Indonesia. In the ever-evolving digital era, electronic contracts play an important role in accelerating transactions and expanding economic reach. Although recognized by the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and related regulations, the implementation of electronic contracts still faces various challenges, especially related to validity, identity verification, data security, and user privacy. This study uses a normative legal approach to analyze existing regulations and identify problems in practice. The results of the study indicate that although the legal framework has provided a sufficient foundation, implementation challenges in the field, such as low legal awareness and rapid technological developments, require further adjustments. This study recommends strengthening regulations, increasing legal education, and harmonizing international law as steps to improve the effectiveness of electronic contracts in Indonesia. With these steps, electronic contracts can be used more widely and safely in supporting the growth of the digital economy.
