New consumer protection rules for the sale of goods and the provision of digital services

The rise of online shopping has made it increasingly necessary to modernise and standardise the relevant rules. In order to comply with the Directives 2019/770 and 2019/771 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the No. 373/2021 (30.VI.) Government Decree on the detailed rules of contracts between consumers and businesses for the sale of goods, the supply of digital content and the provision of digital services (hereinafter: Government Decree) was promulgated in Hungary.

The Government Decree lays down general rules for these consumer contracts, as well as specific rules for the sale of goods containing digital elements as part of the goods, and for the supply of digital content and digital services. We describe below some of the more important provisions of the Government Decree.
