ARTICLE 159 – Consumer Complaints

The concerned government department may begin an investigation once a consumer submits a petition or a letter-complaint. If the department finds initial evidence that a provision of the law or its rules has been violated, it may start a formal administrative action against the responsible person or business. This ensures that consumer concerns are taken seriously and properly examined.

The department must also establish procedures for receiving, recording, investigating, and responding to consumer complaints. These systems are designed to make it easier for consumers to report problems and seek proper remedies for their grievances.

"Customer complaints must be investigated and acted on by the government." ✨🛡️

ARTICLE 103 – Repair Service Obligation

When a product is repaired, the service supplier is required to use adequate, new, and original replacement parts, or parts that follow the manufacturer’s technical specifications. This ensures that the repaired product remains safe, reliable, and consistent with its original design. However, the use of different parts may only be allowed if the consumer clearly authorizes it.

By setting this standard, the law protects consumers from poor-quality repairs and ensures that service providers maintain proper repair practices that preserve product safety and performance.

"Quality repairs protect consumer safety."

Through organized support and proper management, the Secretariat helps ensure that consumer protection programs operate smoothly and respond efficiently to public concerns.

ARTICLE 102 – Liability for Service Quality Imperfection

A service supplier is responsible for any imperfections in the quality of a service that make it unsuitable for its intended use or reduce its value. This also applies when the service does not match the claims, information, or promises stated in advertisements or offers. Service providers are expected to deliver what they promote to ensure fairness and reliability for consumers.

If the service provided is defective, of poor quality, or inconsistent with what was promised, the consumer has the right to demand an appropriate remedy and choose the solution that best addresses the problem.

"Quality service means keeping the promise made to consumers."
