Due to the fact that there is not special law concerning liability of intermediaries on the Internet, the general provisions established in the Civil Code apply to liability of intermediaries. The Colombian legal system does not have notions of contributory or vicarious liability similar to those established in the USA due to its civil law heritage that has different principles concerning third parties liability and tort. The general principle governing third party liability is provided in Article 2341 of the Colombian Civil Code. Article 2341 establishes the following main principle: "anyone that causes harm to other, shall indemnify".
