Of course, buying and selling online has its own characteristics, but in any case, the parties to a transaction concluded on the Internet have the same rights and obligations as those who concluded it in the real world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, despite the fact that the Law of Ukraine &#8220;On the Protection of Consumer Rights&#8221; applies equally to offline and online trading platforms, the rights and interests of participants have recently been difficult to protect due to this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 First of all, many online stores do not contain information sufficient to identify the manufacturer of the products in order to file a claim in case of product defects. Online sellers themselves often do not publish information about themselves at all and leave a note that they are not responsible for the defects of the purchased item.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Secondly, the vast majority of sites selling imported goods do not contain information about them in Ukrainian, or the translation has serious flaws.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Thirdly, the offer of some online stores narrows the rights of consumers, which is contrary to the current legislation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Fourthly, few online sites provide electronic documents to confirm the concluded sales contract. This results in significant complications during the return of paid funds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But these are just some of the nuances of consumer rights protection that both consumers and business owners have to face.
