В Узбекистане продавцам могут установить обязательство уплачивать штрафы за просрочку поставки товаров.

In Uzbekistan, sellers may be required to pay penalties for delays in delivering goods.

Uzbekistan, Tashkent – According to AN Podrobno.uz, the deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis have approved a draft law in its first reading aimed at strengthening consumer rights protection in cases where sellers violate the terms of sales contracts, reports a correspondent from Podrobno.uz.

According to the document, if the seller fails to deliver the goods to the buyer within the timeframe specified in the contract, they are required to pay a penalty for non-fulfillment of obligations. The penalty amount is calculated based on the undelivered portion of the goods, and the total sum cannot exceed 100% of the value of the goods.

It is important to note that the payment of the penalty does not relieve the seller of the obligation to compensate for losses incurred due to delays or non-delivery of goods. However, if the seller can prove that the delay was caused by the consumer's fault, they are exempt from paying the penalty.

During the parliamentary meeting, it was emphasized that the adoption of the bill will strengthen consumer rights protection and reduce instances of contract violations related to improper or untimely delivery of goods.
