الملخص EN

Undoubtedly, the protection of electronic transactions has become one of the necessities of technical development nowadays due to the development of communication technologies.

Criminal protection for e-commerce has also become one of the most important forms of protection, which needs objective and procedural rules related to these crimes due to the large number of commercial transactions through electronic means, especially e-commerce contracts, which has resulted in many consumers in these contracts becoming vulnerable to forms of deception, fraud and other perceived offenses committed by service providers in these contracts.

The criminal liability of the service provider in e-commerce has become one of the modern issues that the Saudi and Qatari legislator had to address and clarify its objective and procedural basis, its forms, and the penalties prescribed for it in the laws of e-commerce.

This research concluded that the Saudi and Qatari legislator defined a set of obligations to the service provider, whose violation results in the service provider being held criminally liable, as stipulated in the Saudi and Qatari E-Commerce Law.

This research recommends the criminal Saudi and Qatari legislator to initiate legislative amendments related to the substantive and procedural provisions of electronic crimes in general and e-commerce crimes in particular, because these crimes increase steadily in our societies.
