[PROFESSIONAL'S DUTY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION]

[BUSINESS LAW - CONSUMER LAW - CONTRACTS]

🚨 Traders are subject to information obligations.

⚖️ In the absence of immediate performance of the contract, the trader must communicate to the consumer, in a legible and comprehensible manner, the date or period within which he undertakes to deliver the goods or perform the service.

A global indication made by the seller is insufficient ‘[d]ue to the fact that no distinction was made between the period for the physical operations of delivery and installation of the goods and the period for the performance of the other services to which the seller had committed himself, and that such a global period did not allow the purchaser to determine with sufficient precision when the seller would have performed his various obligations’ (Cass. 1re civ., 24 Jan. 2024, no. 22-13.678, no. 31 F-D ).

⚠ It is necessary for professionals to be precise in stipulating the various time limits applicable to goods and services.
