Violations of the Unfair Commercial Practices of Businesses towards Consumers Law
The Consumer Protection Service announces the issuance of an administrative decision and the imposition of an administrative fine of €30.000, against Alpan Electroline Ltd for violation of the Unfair Business-to-Consumer Commercial Practices Act.
The Decision was issued following an investigation conducted by the Enforcement Office, which established the use of a misleading practice by the company, which was found to be unfair in violation of the Act.
The commercial practice in question concerned the promotion of certain products, which were presented as products available for sale at a special advantageous price during "Black Friday 2020". The investigation found that, the products in question either did not actually have their original price reduced as advertised or that the reduction in their original price was less than advertised.
The Decision is reproduced in full on the website of the Consumer Protection Agency (www.consumer.gov.cy).
