So, The NY Times recently reported that the European Commission released a proposal to guarantee consumer rights across the 27-nation member bloc, in an effort to spur online, cross-border shopping.
The legislation would require retailers to make product information available before sale, guarantee delivery within 30 days and allow a 14-day “cooling off” period in which purchasers could change their minds.
Consumers would also be entitled to full refunds within seven days if goods failed to arrive, and companies would be banned from using “get out” clauses that allow them to supply products different from those advertised.
What might be next for North America? Is there a possibility (remote nonetheless) that the US could enhance the Uniform codes to be inclusive of these new rules? Perhaps to expand our markets in a less "in your face" kind of way?
