Method of implementation and most important changes for practice

During the implementation, the system of the Civil Code has been adhered to as much as possible. Where this was not possible or useful, the text of the directives has been adhered to as much as possible for the sake of legal certainty. National law is already in line with the directives in some areas; these provisions therefore do not require implementation (see attached transposition tables). This bill does not contain any additional rules or policy in accordance with established government policy. The options in the guidelines have not been used, which is explained in sections 3.2.2 and 3.2.3. 17Because of the coherence between the guidelines for the sale of goods and the supply of digital content, a single implementation law has been chosen.

The implementation law aims to amend Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code. It includes changes to Title 1 and the introduction of a new Title 1AA for contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services between merchants and consumers. The reason for the introduction of this new title is the Digital Content Supply Directive, which has a broader scope of application than the current regulation for digital content included in Title 1. In addition to the provision of individual digital content, such as e-books, applications (apps) and computer programs, the directive also covers digital services, such as cloud storage services and streaming services. Since a service is not a good and Title 1 (purchase and exchange) only applies to goods, it is not workable to integrate the Digital Content Supply Directive into Title 1. In addition, digital content and digital services can also be used by providing personal data is obtained (see section 4 below) google diritto all'oblio dall'italia. That is why a new title 1AA has been chosen.

Both directives are essentially about 'conformity requirements'. In both Title 7.1 of the Dutch Civil Code and Title 7.1AA of the Dutch Civil Code, the term «requirements» is always used when it comes to conformity requirements. The requirements are interpreted in such a way that there is non-conformity if the delivered item does not comply with the agreement. In this way, the two titles correspond as closely as possible to the general doctrines, such as breach of contract. The core of the titles is formed by the conformity provisions that determine what the consumer can reasonably expect when purchasing a product and what resources are available to him if the product does not meet these reasonable expectations. The conformity must exist when the consumer receives the product. The expected lifespan of the product is the starting point. This conformity requirement has an open character, in the sense that its interpretation depends on the specific circumstances. For example, a consumer can expect a longer life from an expensive washing machine, a car or a smart TV than from a cheap sandwich maker, computer cable or app. in the sense that its interpretation depends on the specific circumstances. For example, a consumer can expect a longer life from an expensive washing machine, a car or a smart TV than from a cheap sandwich maker, computer cable or app. in the sense that its interpretation depends on the specific circumstances. For example, a consumer can expect a longer life from an expensive washing machine, a car or a smart TV than from a cheap sandwich maker, computer cable or app.
