摘要
详细分析了利用计算机信息系统为电子商务交易活动提供设施、规则及相关服务的第三方交易平台的主要法律特征,及其规范、界定、影响电子商务交易活动及相关各方利益的重要地位和作用。文章提出,第三方交易平台在全球性的互联网上进行经营活动,通过其制定和实施有关的交易规则,获得了事实上的规范平台上的电子商务的管理权。与此同时,第三方交易平台及其交易规则也越来越多地受到法律的监管和制约,并对政府主管部门及其他利益相关方承担了越来越多的义务与责任。在第三方交易平台的权力与责任增加的基础上,有关的新型的互联网问责机制也在逐步发展、成熟。只有保持第三方交易平台的权力、责任、问责的和谐统一,才能保障电子商务的健康发展及社会公众利益。
The paper explores the salient features of the so-called'third-party transactional platforms'('TPTPs')that provide the transactional facilities,rules and related services to the transactional parties via its internet information system.As the nexus of e-commerce,the TPTPs acquire considerable power to regulate,define and affect the transactions and the stakeholders.Despite their considerable de facto power on the internet,TPTPs and their transactional rules are increasingly subject to the legal reviews,sanctions and even restrictions in the competent judicial or administrative proceedings of different countries.Through analyzing the dynamics of the TPTPs and the existing legal framework,the paper attempts to demonstrate that the TPTPs,in exercising their power,are gradually adapting to the legal and regulatory environment,and meanwhile their global operation is stimulating the creation of a new form of globalized accountability norms that should be equipped with necessary innovative check-and-balance system and social supervision to safeguard not only the stakeholders on the platforms but the public in general.
