This article discusses the legal responsibility arising from breach of contract in a sales agreement under Indonesian civil law. Breach of contract (wanprestasi) occurs when one party fails to fulfill their obligations as agreed, either by not performing, performing late, or improperly executing the agreed terms. Using a normative juridical method, this study examines relevant legal norms in the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata), particularly Articles 1238 and 1243, and analyzes court decisions related to contractual disputes. The findings show that legal responsibility for breach of contract can include compensation for damages, termination of the agreement, or enforced performance. Data collected from 2020 to 2024 (fictitious) reveals a rising trend in breach of contract cases, indicating a lack of legal awareness among business actors. This study concludes that a deeper understanding of contract law and proper documentation in sales agreements are essential to prevent disputes and ensure legal protection for all parties.
