Today, online stores sell goods and services through online contracts, exchanging emails with the other party, or filling out a specific form on the website by one party. Online contracts may be executed by presenting the terms of the contract to one party and then asking the applicant to click on the words "I agree" or something similar. The number of consumers who use online platforms to fulfill their shopping needs has increased, and online stores have responsibilities for the intermediary role and the platform they provide for online buying and selling. From the legal point of view, two types of contractual or non-contractual responsibilities can be considered for these stores. Currently, these types of internet businesses are very popular among users, but in any case, we should look for a space to increase the security of this type of service and secure it, while taking care of and protecting consumer rights; because at present, with the very wide growth of this type of websites and online stores in different fields, we have witnessed the provision of services in the fields of sports, culture and leisure, electronic devices such as audio and visual devices, household, personal and office, real estate and land, vehicles, services and training, supplies and business, and even recruitment and employment or expression of job opportunities, etc. Since online platforms often act as "gateways to control and limit interactions in a system", the first question is whether online platforms and online stores can still be considered simply as intermediaries or should they be suppliers. The second question is whether platforms, as dominant channels in the market, may be held liable to their customers for infringements caused primarily by platform suppliers. Finally, the third question is whether there is a necessary connection between the first and second questions, namely that the platform operator may be held liable to its customers while it may not be treated as a mere intermediary, it may be treated as a supplier of goods and services provided by Platform Providers. Regarding the activity of online stores and their responsibility for their actions or others, it cannot be assumed that they are not absolutely responsible. The important issue is that in online shopping, the buyer makes a transaction that the seller has not seen closely, therefore, the necessity of such purchases, due to its nature, requires more support from the buyer. Because in such transactions, the buyer does not have detailed information about the seller of the goods, their credit, and the transaction, and the burden of the purchase risk is on the shoulders of the buyer. For this reason, as well as for the specialization of the subject and its great application and importance, in this research, an attempt will be made to examine the civil liability of online stores in the laws of Iran and the European Union. In relation to the foundations of civil responsibility of online stores, the theory of fault should be accepted as the main basis of civil responsibility in the laws of Iran and the European Union. In fact, where the providers of their Internet services and goods commit harmful acts, their liability is still based on fault. However, regarding the responsibility of internet sellers, you can also refer to other bases. The important thing about online stores is that concluding a sales contract through the internet in this category of stores should not create doubt that online stores are not subject to the general rules of civil liability. On the contrary, it should be stated that such stores are subject to general rules regarding civil liability rules; because buying or selling through online stores differs from traditional contracts in only a few specific cases; the most important of which is the method of concluding a contract. In other words, except for a few minor cases, in other cases, buying from an online store is not much different from buying from a real store; therefore, in relation to the civil liability of online stores, two types of liability can be realized, contractual and non-contractual liability. This type of separation in civil liability has been accepted both in the civil law of Iran and in the civil law of the European Union. On the other hand, in order to realize the civil liability of online stores in two areas of contractual and non-contractual liability, certain conditions are necessary. So in the field of contractual liability, the existence of a valid contract, breach of contract, and the existence of damage caused by the breach of contract are necessary, and in the field of non-contractual liability of the online store, the occurrence of loss, harmful action and the relationship of causation is necessary. It is suggested that cyberspace and internet stores are very suitable for millions of jobs. On the other hand, the Internet is a useful tool for marketing various services. In this regard, the creation of up-to-date and applicable laws as well as the amendment of existing laws are more important than ever. For this reason, it is suggested that, especially in Iranian law, laws in the field of online stores should be formulated in a specific way, and in these laws, the civil liability of this type of store should be determined clearly, inspired by the principles of civil responsibility and not limited to accepting one of the opinions and principles. Laws that, in addition to preventing the occurrence of computer crimes, should provide the opportunity for legal internet businesses to operate and grow, and this means that the laws are fair. In addition to the definition of platforms, the law that is developed for this purpose should include the providers and users of the internet platform for the purpose of electronic commerce, the law that is formulated for this purpose must state the criteria and criteria accepted in the legal analysis, of course, a mechanism for the purpose of floating the bon and the ability to generalize the criteria. Claims between parties (both platform, supplier, and user) should be considered. Also, the cases where the rules related to transactions do not respond to the new needs are written and govern the relations of the parties.

One of the most important topics in the economic analysis of law is civil liability and the basis of civil liability is the most fundamental issue in analyzing the content of civil liability rules and the way that the legal system views these rules. There are two types of approaches to economic analysis of Basis of Civil Liability; economic analysis of traditional Foundations and tendency to new basis. Conventional foundations are fault-based liability theory and fault-free liability theory that in the legal literature, these are called fault theory and risk theory. In the general rules among traditional theories, by changing their lawsuits and their level of caution, either fault or strict liability can be effective. Market rights have generally accepted strict liability and the theory of market security. In the market rights, new foundations have been introduced because of inefficiencies of traditional foundations And because of their social capability, they are becoming more prominent in the legal literature of the world. The consequentialist basis are deterrence and distributive justice. This research is an analytical-descriptive study using library data in two topics.

The Code of Civil Procedure In Article 120 has announced: the plaintiff is liable for damages to the litigant as a result of garnishment in the event of a final judgment against him, and in Article 323, the liability of the applicant for an interim injunction is determined if the plaintiff fails to file a lawsuit within the legal deadline or the plaintiff's claim be rejected. But the plaintiff's liability in other cases of cancellation of the garnishment or order needs to be reviewed and analyzed. Examination of the subject shows that, in addition to the issuance of a verdict against the plaintiff, in cases of issuance of a final lawsuit and failure to file a lawsuit within the deadline and termination of the garnishment appointment due to protest, fault and liability of the plaintiff is proven. However, in cases of cancellation of the garnishment or order due to rising up the cause of it, withdrawal of the applicant and removing the effect of the order by entrusting security, responsibility of the plaintiff depends on the outcome of the lawsuit.

Breach of contract may occur by the fault of party in breach. There is a variety of degrees in contractual fault and the highest degree of fault is intentional one. The breach of contract is considered to be intentional when the party in breach calculates the financial costs and benefits of the breach and then decides not to perform his/her contractual obligations. The notion of intentional breach and its consequences are recognized in common law and civil law and also in some European instruments such as PECL and DCFR. The intentionality of breach is considered to be relevant in above jurisdictions and instruments. For example, in the case of intentional breach, common law courts allowed the specific performance. They sometimes refused to mitigate the amount of penalty clauses and to recognize the exemption clauses in favor of the breaching party. Also, in civil law jurisdictions the intentional breach works as an allowance for unforeseeable damages. The hypothesis of this contribution is that in the case of intentional breach, courts must take a stricter approach than the usual breach and they should seek to improve the position of the creditor in terms of accessing to contractual remedies.

According to the doctrine of indirect infringement, anyone who provides the causesof infringement or facilitate its occurrence will be liable for compensation for indirectinfringement of patent rights, including contributory and inducing infringement. Civilliability arising from the indirect infringement, based on fault, is created if there is adirect infringement of the act or omission.There is no such entity in Iranian patentlaw, but by referring to some other laws, it could result in a sentence against theindirect infringer. However, if there is interest, the adoption of a specific rule issuggested in this field. Since Iran is a developing country, the authors of this paperbelieve that such an interest is not considered. The main questions posed in this articleare: What are the requirements of the indirect infringement and what is the positionof Iranian law in this respect? By conducting a comparative study under legal systemsof generally developed countries and by placing a particular emphasis on the US Lawand related case laws as the origin of this institution, this article discussesrequirements of the indirect infringement and accordingly presents the position ofIranian law and appropriate proposals.

The new Islamic Penal Code of 1392, on the one hand delimitate the liability of physicians, but on the other hand, it contains new provisions for protecting patients.The new Code sets aside liability based on the theory of lack of fault of physicians, which is the common word of Imamiyeh jurists and was adopted in the 1370 Code. Instead, the new Code adopts the theory of presumed liability. In addition, to give more protection to physicians, obtaining patient`s consent exempts physicians from liability. Moreover, the new Code indicates that if patient or nurse is aware of the error of medical order, physicians have no liability. A further change is the affirmation of bona fide as a means of discharge of civil liability. As it was stated, the new Code has provisions in order to protect patients. Also, it gradate physicians and make them updated in accordance with the latest developments of medical sciences. Hence, it is provided that any scientific or practical fault or default(neglect) of physician, make him liable. This means that the ignorance of medical science and new methods of treatments is regarded as a cause of civil liability. It seems that this regulation is the turning point in the Panel Code to protect the patients, although this evolution should have been clearer.
