Moreover, from the very first day gadget “hangs”, and we refuse to return the money. What can I do?” — Evgenia Baranova str.
Basil Sequin, a lawyer in the sphere of protection of the rights of citizens:
“First of all, you should know that the sellers must not take any action that might be consumer confusion (for example, the need for more paid services). More about this can be found in article 19 of the Law of Ukraine “On consumer rights protection” (hereinafter the Law). But note: these facts prove quite difficult, especially after the fact.
Also in article 9 of the Law we are talking about the exchange of goods not coming up in 14 days. It should be remembered that the exchange is subject only to the goods of good quality, which was not in use. If you want to return the money paid for the goods in the application for refund is as follows: “In connection with the absence of a seller of a similar product that would satisfy my needs, please return paid for the goods money.”
