Abstract

This study employs a doctrinal research technique, that entails a thorough examination of current Indian rules, laws and court decisions about online marketplace liability. It focuses on the fallback liability clause. The paper examines the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection Rules 2020. Furthermore, a comparative study is carried out to investigate the legislative structure and strategies dealing with fallback liability in the US and the EU. This research attempts to offer suggestions for
establishing a balance between fostering innovation and defending consumer rights in the context of e-commerce platforms based on the conclusions from the legal analysis and comparative study.
