Cooling-off period for e-shoppers proposed

Draft amendment aims to better protect rights of online buyers

Online shoppers should be granted a seven-day cool-off period, within which they would be able to get a refund, a draft amendment presented to the legislature on Tuesday has proposed.

The move, which comes 20 years after the enactment of a consumer rights law, wants to ensure e-shoppers' right to choose and grant them the right to unilaterally terminate contracts.
