Though Click-Wraps Are Legal, Can Minors Enter Click-Wraps

Clicking With Caution: Minors and Click-wraps

Introduction

India is set to be world's most populous country by 2023. According to a recent report by Cisco, in India, there will be 907.4 million total internet users (64% of the population) by 2023, up from 398.2 million (29% of the population) in 2018. The growing number of internet users implies more formation of contracts over the internet or e-contracts. The increase in e-contracts creates certain legal challenges concerning minors entering such contracts like verification of the age and identity of the parties involved in it, which is often tricky. Though contracts are an essential aspect of any commercial transaction, there are certain legal restrictions on the capacity of specific individuals to enter them.
