Summary/Abstract: The last period of time was marked by a major increase of the number of contracts concluded through electronic means. Considering the measures imposed globally in order to prevent the spreading of the Covid-19 virus, more individuals adopted a new way of acquisition of goods. These new factual circumstances lead us to the analysis of different topics: the role and the liability of the online platforms, which usually intermediate the conclusion of the most part of this kind of contracts. The first part of my article will focus on the analysis of the functioning of these online platforms, while the second one will present the platforms´ liability in case the goods that are sold through them do not meet the mandatory criteria.
