About this statute

Consumers and users have a right to effective legal protection for repair and compensation for harm caused by acquiring, using, or enjoying goods and services offered on the market. Businesses and professional services in Euskadi must have complaint forms available, and the competent administration must answer written complaints with a reasoned response. The public administrations of Euskadi must help make voluntary consumer dispute and complaint-resolution systems available, and the complaint-handling procedure for consumer complaints against companies and professionals must be voluntary for the parties. Euskadi’s public administrations must promote consumer arbitration, encourage participation in the system, and the Basque Government must promote agreements to set up arbitral boards in requesting municipalities or associations. Consumers and users have the right to clear, truthful information about essential features and risks, and in services they may also receive a written, explained prior quote when compatible with the service.
