Abstract

NWABUEZE, Caroline Joelle. Reflections on legal uncertainties for e-commerce transactions in Cameroon. AJIC [online]. 2017, vol.20, pp.171-180. ISSN 2077-7213.  https://doi.org/10.23962/10539/23499.

This thematic report appraises legal provisions currently governing e-commerce transactions in Cameroon, in particular the matter of online contracts for sales of goods and services. There are uncertainties for Cameroonian consumers in the legal provisions at both regional level - via the Organisation pour l'Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires (OHADA, the Organisation for the Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa) - and at Cameroonian national level. The report recommends steps to be taken to remedy the uncertainties.

Keywords : e-commerce; online transactions; online contracts; OHADA; consumer protection.
