The authority ordered the removal of the clause and emphasized that commercial policies must not impose conditions that unjustifiably limit rights recognized by law.<\/p>\n<p>This decision highlights the importance for companies of carefully reviewing the content of their contracts and internal policies, particularly those governing consumer-facing processes such as returns, refunds, and <a href=\"https:\/\/olartemoure.com\/en\/updated-rules-on-warranties\/\">warranties<\/a>. The authority stressed that information provided to consumers must be clear, transparent, and aligned with consumer protection regulations.<\/p>\n<p>In Colombia, a similar practice could be contrary to the Consumer Protection Statute, which prohibits unfair terms and requires return and exchange policies to respect consumers\u2019 minimum rights, without imposing disproportionate burdens or conditions that undermine those protections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peru-retail.com\/indecopi-sanciona-a-oechsle-por-clausula-irregular-en-su-politica-de-cambios-y-devoluciones\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prohibits unfair terms and requires return and exchange policies to respect consumers\u2019 minimum rights<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4424838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4424836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsletter","category-derecho-del-consumidor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
