Postponement of the entry into force of provisions on the application of consumer protection to certain entrepreneurs due to the spread of Coronavirus in Poland

15 April 2020

Under the Act Amending the Act on Special Solutions for Preventing, Counteracting and Combating COVID-19, Other Contagious Diseases and Related Crisis Situations, and Certain Other Acts of 31 March 2020 (the “Act”) the entry into force of certain legal solutions requiring the application to certain entrepreneurs of provisions concerning prohibited contractual clauses, related to a warranty for defects,  or provisions concerning the right to rescind an agreement concluded by long-distance means or off the undertaking's premises, has been postponed.

As a result, the processes for entrepreneurs to adjust to the new provisions, for example by adjusting standard form agreements used in relationships with such customers, may be implemented later.
