Digital Commerce, Subscriptions and Online Contracts

Online transactions still require a legally meaningful offer, acceptance, known subject matter and clear obligations. A subscription should specify price, renewal period, cancellation terms and the service actually provided. Examine whether a click constitutes informed acceptance and whether a hidden automatic renewal creates deception or an unfair condition. Digital goods may raise separate questions about licences and usage rights rather than physical possession. The Hanafi analysis should focus on the real transaction and its conditions, not on whether the contract was concluded on paper or a screen.
