Summary
This thesis consists of eight chapters. Chapter I is the introduction.
Chapter II illustrates Electronic Commerce (E-Commerce) transactions.
Chapter III introduces international regulations for consumption protection in E-Commerce.
Chapter IV presents the License Agreement of Computer Software. According to its legal nature, whether computer software is treated as the “things” by the Civil Code, or defined as the “goods” or “services” by the Consumer Protection Law is discussed. This chapter also explains the meaning and types of the License Agreement of Computer Software, reviews the legal theories adopted by other countries, and summarizes by bringing up the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software.
Chapter V goes over the meaning and content of the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software. The Shrikwrap License Agreement is the predecessor of the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software. Taking the evolution of judicial cases in the United States as examples, this chapter describes the effect of both the Shrikwrap License Agreement and the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software.
Chapter VI clarifies the following topics: What is the legal nature of the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software? Is it part of the Mass-Market License of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA)? Does it belong to the Standard Contracts of the Consumer Protection Law? What is the difference between the Mass-Market License of the UCITA and the Standard Contracts of the Consumer Protection Law? As far as the assurance responsibility of expressed and implied warranty and the responsibility of damage compensation are concerned, how does UCITA differ from our Civil Code?
Chapter VII discusses whether the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software is applicable to the mail order regulated by our Consumer Protection Law by comparing their requirements. In addition to making recommendations, this chapter investigates whether the vendors involved in the Clickwrap Agreement of Computer Software should undertake the obligation defined by the Consumer Protection Law.
The last chapter, Chapter VIII, provides the conclusion of the thesis and suggestions.
