网络交易平台提供者对消费者的损害赔偿责任及其体系化证成

The Liability of On-line Platform for Consumer Damage and Its Systemic Construction

网络交易中的消费者权益保护在互联网经济浪潮下益发凸显出其重要性。虽然网络交易平台提供者通常不参与销售者或服务者与消费者之间的实体交易关系,但在特定情形下要求其对消费者承担不真正连带责任符合对消费者进行特殊保护的价值目标。网络交易平台提供者承担不真正连带责任的依据在于其对消费者的信息提供义务。而这一义务已经被新颁布的《电子商务法》第27条所确认,因此网络交易平台提供者因为"不能提供销售者或者服务者的真实名称、地址和有效联系方式"而对消费者承担的损害赔偿责任为不真正连带责任,其非补充责任或替代责任,亦非附条件不真正连带责任。

The protection of consumer in the internet transactions is increasingly important in the current stage of internet economy.Even though the on-line platform usually is not involved in the specific transactions between the consumers and the provider of goods or services,it is consistent with the favorable policy of consumer protection that require on-line platform to be liable for the damage suffered by the consumer,where the on-line platform can not provide the information of contact of the provider of goods or services.And the rational of this liability lies in the fact that the platform shall provide the contact information specified by art.27 of"E-Commerce Law".With respect to the nature of this liability,it shall be considered as unreal joint and several-liability,rather than subsidiary liability or vicarious liability.
