Entrepreneur with consumer rights:
On January 1, 2021, an amendment to the regulations entered into force, which extended the scope of consumer rights also to some entrepreneurs. Therefore, consumer protection regarding:
return goods purchased remotely within 14 days without giving any reason;
prohibited clauses;
a broader scope of rights under the warranty;
covered not only current consumers understood as natural persons performing a legal transaction with the entrepreneur, not directly related to their business or professional activity (hereinafter referred to as: "consumer sensu stricto"), but also natural persons concluding a contract directly related to their business economic, if the concluded contract is not of a professional nature for these entrepreneurs (hereinafter: "entrepreneur with consumer rights"). The interpretation of whether the entrepreneur is covered by consumer protection or not in a given case is based on the subject of the entrepreneur's business activity, as disclosed in the CEiDG register.
The aim of the amendment is to counteract the disproportion of the rights of entrepreneurs - natural persons who conclude a contract with another entrepreneur, not directly related to the industry or specialization of these entrepreneurs - natural persons. Therefore, under contracts that are not directly related to their industry or specialization, they are no longer treated as "professionals" who are required to be more knowledgeable, e.g. construction worker, purchasing materials for construction as part of business activities will continue to be recognized for a professional entity (not for a consumer). However, if the same construction worker purchases goods classified as a non-professional, eg an office coffee machine, he will then be treated as a non-professional entity (consumer).
However, as it is unanimously noted in the legal doctrine (including the Commentary to the Consumer Rights Act edited by Osajda 2020, ed. 3 / P. Mikłaszewicz), already a person running a business or professional activity, who concluded a contract before January 1 2021, pursuant to Art. 22 [1] of the Civil Code and in accordance with the provisions of EU law and the jurisprudence of the CJEU, was considered a consumer if it acted outside the framework of its professional activity, for purposes not related to the conducted business or professional activity.
