This legislation governs electronic commerce in Algeria, defining the conditions and rules under which online transactions (sale of goods and services) can be legally performed. It specifies the obligations of electronic vendors (e-fournisseurs) regarding clear product information, consumer rights (including order cancellation and data protection), and dispute resolution mechanisms.

The law also restricts online trade in prohibited or sensitive goods, introduces the need for a .dz domain for e-commerce websites, and clarifies exchange-control limits for cross-border e-commerce transactions. Provisions address digital advertising, the mandatory registration of online sellers, and penalties for infringing these regulations, thus creating a comprehensive legal framework for consumer protection and business clarity in Algeria’s e-commerce sector.
