Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees Directive

The Sale of Consumer Goods and Associated Guarantees Directive is a European Union law that protects consumers when they buy goods. It ensures that products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and match their description. If a product is faulty or doesn't meet these standards, consumers have the right to a repair, replacement, or refund within a certain timeframe. The directive also standardizes guarantees, ensuring consumers are informed about their rights and the duration of any warranty provided by the seller. This law aims to build trust and fairness in consumer transactions across EU countries.
