In most cases of fraud, customers did not get the goods they ordered. According to Section 52 of Contract Act 1872, when a purchaser clicks the button of “I Agree” or “Purchase,” he/she acknowledges the contract, and if any party breaches the contract the other party can take action under Section 53 of the contract act. They can also claim compensation for breach of contract under Section 54 of the contract act. Though the e-commerce platform is not mentioned in these provisions, it can be used to adjudicate the legal issues. The Sale of Goods Act 1930 dictates the contract relating to the sale of goods.
