field is facing a similar challenge, implying law enforcers
can no longer do things the old way. Electronic media
has set-in causing disruption in how contracts have been
handled over these years more so in the developing
world, such as Indonesia. There is need to adapt to new
changes, where technology has become the norm of the
day, influencing transactions. People are now buying
more things online, via internet, via mobile ups etc.
However, the challenges are they are having one sided
Agreement/Contract, which favor the seller than the
buyer. The law needs to come in as the regulating tool of
such transactions. The purpose of this is therefore to
examine the function of the Electronic Information and
Transactions Law in ensuring there is fair transactions
between the buyers and sellers within Indonesia. The
study uses review approach of the varying information
about the implementation of the ITE Law. Regulating
electronic media contracts is very important today as the
world shifts to more of online markets than the physical

pandemic which has helped to popularize electronic
media transactions.
