Both contracts have<br>fundamental differences, in which the consumer party in consumer contracts is legally protected<br>by the Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection. This study aims to further differentiate<br>commercial contracts and consumer contracts by writing down the characteristics and principle<br>developments of both agreements. Moreover, the liabilities of both commercial and consumer<br>contracts are also to be identified. This study is a qualitative study that is carried out by<br>employing the statute approach and conceptual approach. The results disclose that the legal<br>development of commercial and consumer contracts are distinct in the aspects of principles,<br>regulations, and scopes; commercial contracts comprise business matters, while consumer<br>contracts are for consumers or end-users. The liabilities of both commercial and consumer<br>contracts can be carried out through litigation and non-litigation. However, the filing for a<br>lawsuit and the non-litigation settlement facilities through the Consumer Dispute Settlement<br>Agency (BPSK) are different.</p>}, number={3}, journal={PalArch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt / Egyptology}, author={Marsella Tridarani and Faizal Kuniawan}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={1819- 1827} }
