网络交易平台提供者的法律地位辩

On the Legal Status of Network Trading Platform Providers

明确和界定网络交易平台的法律概念及法律地位是规范其权利、义务和责任的前提,直接关系到对其民事责任及其承担方式的认定。由于对网络交易平台和网络交易平台提供者的概念界定不清、对网络交易平台提供者所处的不同法律关系区分不明,相关学说对网络交易平台提供者的法律地位存在不同程度上的误判。从网络交易平台提供者所处的两种法律关系和维护市场秩序两个维度的视角来定义网络交易平台提供者的法律地位,能摆脱传统单一标准定义其法律地位的缺陷和不足,更加全面地类型化界定网络交易平台提供者的法律地位。

Clarifying and defining the legal concept and legal status of online trading platform is the premise of regulating its rights,obligations and responsibilities,which is directly related to the determination of civil liability and the way of undertaking.However,due to the unclear definition of network trading platform and its providers,and the unclear distinction between different legal relationships of network trading platform providers,relevant theories have misjudged the legal status of network trading platform providers to different degree.Defining the legal status of network trading platform providers from the perspective of legal relationships and maintaining market order can get rid of the defects and deficiencies of traditional single standard definition on their legal status,and can define their legal status in a more comprehensive and typical way.
