Legal guarantees to protect the electronic consumer in Jordan

Abstract

This study examines the legal guarantees to protect the electronic consumer in Jordan. It aims to find out whether the Jordanian legislator has established legal guarantees to protect the electronic consumer, in addition to knowing the legal texts in this regard. Moreover, it highlights the scope of protection guaranteed by the Jordanian legislation to the electronic consumer, and whether the Jordanian legislation includes clear texts that guarantee its protection. The researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach in describing and clarifying the study problem and reviewing the relevant legal texts. The study found a legal problem, which is that the Jordanian legislator did not stipulate electronic protection for the consumer, as the available legal texts relate to consumer protection in general. It concluded with a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the need for Jordanian law to include clear provisions that guarantee the protection of the electronic consumer.
