New system for contracts for the sale of goods with digital elements and contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services with consumers

The Royal Decree-law transposes two UE Directives concerning consumer contracts.
Transposing the two directives into Spanish law involves making important amendments to Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 (November 16), approving the consolidated text of the Spanish Consumer Protection Act (“TRLGDCU”).
In this legal flash, we highlight the most important amendments to TRLGDCU and their impact on consumer contracts, particularly in relation to: (i) contracts for the sale of goods with digital elements, and (ii) contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services.
