Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: 跨境电商平台选择法院条款的效力判定是对涉外协议管辖制度中公平、自由、效益价值目标的实践深化和具体运用。但跨境电商平台在预先拟定的选择法院管辖条款常因构成B2C格式条款无效以及概括性约定超出适用范围而无效，致使跨境电商平台陷入效力争议，而诉讼效益与程序公平之间的均衡以及对消费者的倾向保护与跨境电商平台合法诉求之间的平衡下，为避免陷入不必要的诉争，跨境电商平台可以在预先拟定的条款的设置上履行充分的义务并尊重消费者的意思表示权利，并在既有的概括性条款上以负面清单进行补充。The validity judgment of the cross-border e-commerce platform’s choice of court provisions is the practical deepening and specific application of the goals of fairness, freedom and benefit value in the foreign-related agreement jurisdiction system. However, the pre-formulated selection of court jurisdiction clauses of cross-border e-commerce platforms are often invalid because they constitute B2C format clauses and the general agreement is beyond the scope of application, resulting in cross-border e-commerce platforms falling into effectiveness disputes, and the balance between litigation benefits and procedural fairness, as well as the balance between consumer protection and the legitimate demands of cross-border e-commerce platforms. In order to avoid unnecessary litigation, cross-border e-commerce platforms can fulfill full obligations and respect consumers’ right to express their will in the setting of pre-prepared terms, and supplement existing general terms with a negative list.
