Description

Abstract:

E-commerce, as a dynamic and continuously evolving sector, presents significant challenges and opportunities. Today, it's crucial for businesses and consumers involved in this sector to thoroughly understand current legal aspects and anticipate future trends. The future of e-commerce will continue to be influenced by technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, as well as regulatory changes. Therefore, it's essential for e-commerce stakeholders to remain vigilant and proactive to adapt to these developments, thereby ensuring their market competitiveness and legal and regulatory compliance.

Transactions related to e-commerce are increasingly discussed. Indeed, this new movement raises numerous legal questions. Therefore, a prospective study on the legal framework dedicated to this activity is warranted. The Gabonese legal framework concerning e-commerce operations is relatively recent. However, an analysis of the legislation regarding e-commerce transactions between professionals and consumers has revealed the Gabonese legislator's interest in the evolution of e-commerce transactions.
