Consumer Rights in Christmas and New Year Shopping The values displayed in the windows must be visible and clear to the public. In addition, establishments must inform the spot and forward prices of goods.

After this period, the consumer can choose to exchange for an equivalent product, purchase another of the same value or request a refund. Every consumer has the right to check the functioning of electronic products at the place of purchase. Before purchasing, it is recommended to request the invoice and check the warranty. By law, the minimum assurance for movable assets is 90 days and for immovable assets it is 180 days. Stores that have parking are responsible for damage to vehicles and theft of objects inside vehicles. Therefore, stores must compensate harmed customers.
