Maybe more than once it has been questioned whether the consumer has the right to withdraw from a contract. Yes, you are entitled at law or regulation assumptions and when it is recognized in the offer, promotion or publicity or in the contract provided.

But let’s look more specifically what is it and on what does the right of withdrawal consist?

This right is the right of the consumer to rescind the contract concluded, notifying the other party to the deadline for exercising this right, without having to justify its decision and without penalty.

Also keep in mind when is it recognized the right of withdrawal for the consumer or user?

But as in every action, there are always exceptions. Exceptions to the right of withdrawal will occur in the following cases:

– Contract for supply of goods whose price is subject to fluctuations in the financial market that the seller can not control.

– Contract for the supply of goods made to the consumer’s specifications or clearly personalized or which by their nature can not be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
