数字经济赋能中国式现代化中平台条款规制完善路径

The Digital Economy Empowers A Better Path for Platform Terms and Regulations in Chinese Modernization

数字经济时代平台格式条款广泛铺陈,由此引发数字经济平台“双重格式条款”公平性失衡问题,已成为影响数字平台经济高质量发展及推进中国式现代化新发展格局亟需关注的重点。为避免平台交易主体间权力悬殊差异致使合同失衡,认为应不断完善数字经济合同治理体系,重新思索数字经济中垄断行为与合同规则关系,厘清平台格式条款披露中存在的主客观多重因素指向,转变仅仅依附反垄断法公法规制的偏见;应以交易主体间主观因素与平台合同客观属性多重因素指向为抓手,从合同私法视角对平台格式条款信息失衡修复。提出通过矫正交易主体交涉能力,规范平台格式条款表达形式,客观量化条款披露标准,以扭转平台交易主体主观偏差;增强平台交易交互性,提升合同条款透明度,及时督促合同条款披露,完善条款信息披露客观化机制。

In the era of digital economy,platform standard clauses are widely spread to have caused the imbalance of fairness of the"dual form terms"of digital economy platforms,which has become the focus of urgent attention both in affecting the high-quality development of the digital platform economy and promoting the new development pattern of Chinese modernization.In order to avoid contract imbalance caused by disparity in power between transaction subjects,efforts should continuously be made to improve the contract governance system for the digital economy,rethink the relationship between monopolistic behavior and contract rules in the digital economy,clarify the subjective and objective multiple factors in the disclosure of platform standard clauses,and change the bias by relying only on the anti-monopoly law and public regulations.Taking the multiple factors of subjective factors between transaction entities and the objective attributes of platform contracts as the starting point,the imbalance of platform standard clause information should be repaired from the perspective of contract private law.It is proposed to correct the negotiation ability of transaction entities,standardize the expression form of platform standard clauses,and objectively quantify the disclosure standards of clauses,so as to reverse the subjective bias of platform transaction entities;enhance the interactivity of platform transactions,increase the transparency of contract terms,promptly supervise the disclosure of contract terms,and improve the objective mechanism for disclosure of clause information.
