Statute overview

About this statute

Before the contract is signed, the entrepreneur must clearly tell the consumer about the withdrawal right, the time limit to use it, and the ban on advance payments during that period. Certain tourism/vacation contracts must be in writing, clearly legible, and in the required language; they must include key party details, precontract information, withdrawal documents, and a copy for the consumer. El consumidor puede desistir del contrato sin justificarlo y debe avisar al empresario por escrito dentro del plazo legal. Advance payments and similar consideration are prohibited in certain tourism, resale, and exchange contracts until the relevant withdrawal or sale period has ended. Los contratos de productos vacacionales de larga duración deben pagarse en un plan escalonado; no se permite pagar el precio por adelantado ni fuera de ese plan.
