Although the right of withdrawal already existed, this modification forces many companies to review their digital processes, their legal conditions and even some of the integrations that connect their eCommerce with the rest of the business.<\/p>\n\n
The regulation affects any eCommerce regardless of the platform used.<\/strong> Whether you work with WordPress and WooCommerce, Shopify, Logicommerce<\/strong> or a custom solution, the important thing is to ensure that the consumer can exercise this right in a visible, accessible and unobstructed way.<\/p>\n\n The right of withdrawal allows a consumer to cancel a purchase or a contract concluded at a distance<\/strong> without having to justify the reason.<\/p>\n\n In most cases, the period is 14 calendar days<\/strong> . In the sale of products, this period begins when the customer receives the order. In services, the calculation begins from the moment the contract is formalized. <\/p>\n\n This right is part of European consumer protection legislation<\/a><\/strong> and seeks to guarantee that users have a reflection period after an online purchase.<\/p>\n\n The right of withdrawal is not new<\/strong> . What changes is the way in which companies must allow it to be exercised. <\/p>\n\n Until now, it was common for the user to have to look for an email, fill out a contact form or contact customer service to start the process. With the new regulations, online platforms will have to incorporate a specific functionality so that the consumer can opt out directly from the digital interface itself<\/strong> . <\/p>\n\n This functionality must be visible, easy to locate and available throughout the withdrawal period. Furthermore, once the right has been exercised, the consumer must receive immediate confirmation on a durable medium, such as email. <\/p>\n\n The new obligation affects any business that formalizes online contracts with end consumers and that is subject to the right of withdrawal<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n In practice, this includes a large part of today’s digital businesses:<\/p>\n\n However, not all digital businesses are obliged to do so. The regulations maintain several exceptions to the right of withdrawal that already existed previously. <\/p>\n\n This is particularly relevant for activity booking platforms.<\/strong> If a company sells hotel reservations, leisure activities with a specific date, tickets for shows or similar services, the right of withdrawal may not apply. For this reason, the obligation cannot be determined solely by the type of platform, but rather by analyzing the specific services that are contracted there. <\/p>\n\nWhat exactly is the right of withdrawal?<\/h2>\n\n
