The research approach methods used in this study are the statute approach, the case approach, and the conceptual approach. The results, if viewed from the perspective of Indonesian law, refer to regulations related to trade, consumer protection, electronic information, and transactions, as well as Indonesian Pariwara Ethics. Considering that business actors and their marketing affiliates are honest and responsible in carrying out and marketing their business and conducting good and healthy transactions and are accompanied by good faith without defraud. The affiliate marketing business strategy through this affiliate intermediary is something legal. But if in carrying out his role as an affiliate, having disguised malicious intentions, not accompanied by good faith, then there are legal consequences that will be accepted, whereas, in some related regulations, there is a threat of criminal penalties that do not mess with sanctions, to provide a deterrent effect.
