Besides having advantages such as simplifying and speeding up transactions, it has shortcomings e.g. no legality regarding e-contract and substantive and procedural problems. One of them is in the application of clickwrap agreements, a standard agreement in e-commerce transactions. Buyers must agree with the requirements by clicking the “I agree” button.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan privasi pada penggunaan smart contract clickwrap agreement berdasarkan UU ITE dan aspek hukum internasional yaitu UNCITRAL Model Law sebagai pedoman dasar e-contract masih memiliki kekosongan hukum.
