Abstract
El comercio electrónico, a diferencia del comercio presencial tradicional, permite
a los consumidores adquirir productos y/o servicios desde diferentes partes del
mundo con solo hacer un click o dar un toque a la pantalla de su dispositivo.
Por ello, el presente informe de investigación analiza el concepto, fundamento
jurídico y justificación de tres de los puntos más importantes a considerar en el
comercio electrónico: i) los Términos y Condiciones, que se fundamentan en el
Artículo 1390° del Código Civil y, entre otros, en el Numeral b) del Artículo 1°,
Artículo 2° y Artículo 3° del Código de Protección y Defensa del Consumidor; ii)
la política de cambios, como un derecho reconocido en el Artículo 97° del mismo
cuerpo normativo, que consiste en la posibilidad de exigir la reposición del
producto en caso éste no se encuentre acorde a lo ofrecido; y iii) el derecho de
desistimiento que, aun cuando no se encuentra reconocido en el ordenamiento
jurídico peruano, el Indecopi lo ha propuesto (aunque sin evaluar a nivel macro
el impacto de ello) para que los consumidores tengan la posibilidad de dejar sin
efecto el contrato suscrito sin tener que justificar su decisión ni hacer frente a
algún tipo de penalidad.
De ese modo, se podrá evidenciar cómo el comercio electrónico representa una
innovadora modalidad que poco a poco ha creado un importante espacio en el
mercado, demostrando las ventajas y beneficios que trae consigo en favor de los
consumidores, no quedándose atrás frente al comercio presencial tradicional.
E-commerce, unlike traditional face-to-face commerce, allows consumers to purchase products and/or services from around the world with just a click or tap on the screen of their device. Therefore, this legal report analyzes the concept, legal basis and justification of three of the most important items to be considered in e-commerce: (i) the Terms and Conditions, which are based on Article 1390° of the Civil Code and, among others, on paragraph b) of Article 1°, Article 2° and Article 3° of the Consumer Protection and Defense Code; (ii) the replacement policy, as a right recognized in Article 97°, meaning the possibility of demanding the replacement of a product in case it is not in accordance with what was offered; and iii) the right of withdrawal which, although not recognized in the Peruvian legal system, has been proposed by Indecopi (without assessing its impact at a macro level) so that consumers have the possibility of withdrawing from the contract without having to justify their decision or face any kind of penalty. In this manner, it will be possible to demonstrate how e-commerce represents an innovative modality that little by little has created an important space in the market, showing the advantages and benefits that it brings in favor of consumers, not remaining behind traditional face-to-face commerce.
