by notary deed, if it is made by a notary by clauses
that only takes into account clauses that have been
imposed by one party, while the other party has no
opportunity to negotiate or request changes in
clauses, the agreement made by notarial deed is also
a standard agreement.
In its development, the standard electronic
agreement has a negative effect on the debtor, which
is in an unbalanced position; there is a tendency for
exploitation from strong parties to weak parties such
as banks and customers. If such legal issues are not
immediately responded by law, then economic
power will be concentrated in certain groups, too
large economic concentrations can cause disruption
and inhibit economic freedom for individuals.
The standard agreement does not provide the
same bargaining position, for example in bank
lending, banks as lenders have the power to
determine requirements, but the dominant
bargaining position in making the agreement will
change if the credit funds have been disbursed, the
position of the bank as creditor weakens because the
funds have been controlled by the customers
(clinets) or debtor.
The provisions of an agreement may be
inappropriate or unfair when the agreement is
formed on an unbalanced relationship or condition.
When such irregularities or injustices occur in an
unbalanced party relationship then this condition is
called Undue Influence (inapropriate influence).
Whereas inequality occurs in an unbalanced state
(not relationship), then this situation is called
unconscionability (injustice).
The balancing principles is the starting point of
the contractual attachment principles which is the
justification of the binding power of an agreement.
The developed balancing principles here is a new
concept as extracted from of Indonesia's typical way
of thinking that is the principle of balance based on
real ideal rights factors which in turn is sourced from
a family perspective, help and mutual support.
Characteristics of national law are kinship, mutual
support, and mutual assistance, unity of formality,
and justice and legal certainty. The treaty which
embraces the principle of balance of course
emphasizes justice; justice is one of legal goals.
Legal objectives are not only justice, but also legal
certainty and benefits. It is appropriate that the
promises among the parties are considered binding
as long as it is based on the principles of balancing
relationship between individual interests and the
public interest or the balance between the interests
of both parties as expected by the parties.
2.2 Electronic Contract (e-Contract)
E-contract is any kind of contract formed in the
course of e-commersce by the interaction of two or
more individuals using electronic means, such as a
e-mail, the interaction of an individual with an
electronic agent, such as a computer program, or the
interaction of at least two electronic agent that the
programmed to recognize the existence of a contract.
The uniform computer information transaction act
provides rules regarding the formation, governance
and basic term of an e-contract. Traditional contract
principles and remedies also apply to e-contracts.
Many transactions and other forms of trade are
now conducted electronically, for example most
people will at least be familiar with Go-Jek
Aplication and on line shops. More and more
business is now done electronically, often with the
parties never physically meeting each other.
An electronic contract is a standard contract that
is designed, created, defined, duplicated and
disseminated digitally through a website unilaterally
by the contract maker (business actor) to be closed
digitally also by the closing of the contract. In
addition, there are also those who use the term on-
line contract (on-line contract), namely an
engagement or legal relationship conducted
electronically by integrating a network of computer-
based information systems with a communication
system based on networks and telecommunications
services (telecommunication based), facilitated by
the existence of a global internet computer network.
It also can be defined that e contract is an contract
between two or more parties that is carried out by
using computer media, gadgets or other means of
communication through the internet network.
Electronic contracts use digital data instead of
paper, as described in Law No. 11 of 2008
concerning electronic information and transactions,
Article 1 number 17, electronic contracts are
contracts between parties made through electronic
systems. Electronic system: a set of electronic
devices and procedures that has function to prepare,
collect, process, store, display, collect, send and
disseminate electronic information.
In the electronic standard contract, there are
several characteristics including: electronic contracts
can occur based on the internet, parties do not meet
face to face, standard clause contracts are made by
business actors, the contents of the contract cannot
be changed by the user. Electronic contracts are
included in the category of nameless contracts
(innominaat), namely contracts that are not regulated
in the Civil Code but exist and are carried out in the
