Purchase law determines when a valid purchase contract is concluded and which obligations apply to both contracting parties. Buyers generally must pay the purchase price, while sellers must ensure the defect-free delivery of the goods.
Central to this is the concept of defects: an item is defective if it does not meet what was contractually agreed upon or what can usually be expected. If a material defect exists, the regulations on liability for defects and warranties apply. In 2022, Germany tightened the rules for contracts concerning digital products, particularly regarding update obligations, security, and the burden of proof in consumer goods purchases. Consumers benefit from expanded protection, while merchants must adapt their processes and terms and conditions accordingly.
