Abstract

This article analyzes the specificities of consumer electronic contracts within the Brazilian legal context, highlighting their formation, characteristics, and distinctions in relation to traditional physical contracts, while also addressing their similarities. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and documentary approach, based on the analysis of current legislation, specialized legal doctrine, and relevant case law. It examines the mechanisms for verifying the legitimacy and identity of the contracting parties, as well as the types of evidence admissible in this contractual modality. Furthermore, it discusses the criteria for determining the competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes and the legal guarantees provided by Brazilian legislation applicable to online consumer relations. The study concludes that, although electronic contracts present particularities inherent to the virtual environment, Brazilian law provides effective instruments to ensure consumer protection and the legal security of such transactions.
