Saudi law places significant transparency obligations on online sellers. Under Article 6, every electronic shop must clearly display the seller's name (or a distinctive identifier), their address, contact details, trade registration number, and — if applicable — their VAT number. This information must be accessible to you before you make any purchase decision.
Before you complete a purchase, Article 7 requires the seller to provide a clear statement of the contract terms, including: the steps required to conclude the contract, how and when the contract is formed, the languages available, any applicable archiving policy, and a correction mechanism if you make an input error. Additionally, Article 8 requires the seller to send you a receipt after purchase showing the cost of each item, the total price including all fees and taxes, and delivery terms.
If you're buying from a professional service provider (such as a licensed doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor operating online), Article 9 adds extra requirements — they must disclose the regulatory body they are registered with and their license number. If an online store is missing this basic information, that is a red flag and a legal violation you can report to the Ministry of Commerce.
This is general legal information, not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, consult a lawyer licensed in Saudi Arabia.
