ABSTRACT

Electronic Commerce(EC) that comes from the development of scientific technique has various legal problems like other transactions. One of the most important problems is the consumer damage. So, many Acts to protect consumers are enacted recently. One of these Acts is "The Act on the Consumer Protection in the Electronic Commerce Transactions, etc" enacted in 2002. In this paper, I studied rights of consumer and obligations of business in legal relation of Electronic Commerce. And then, I indicated problems and proposed plans of reformation of the Act. To put it concretely, The Act has problems in spheres of exclusion of application, requirement and effect of Cooling-off and EC broker's liability etc. I proposed concrete supplements on these problems and plans to protect consumers efficiently.
