What is the statutory warranty period?

For consumers it is 24 months under EU law. For B2B transactions it is as agreed in the contract; otherwise statutory rules on defective performance apply.

Is a written purchase agreement required for every sale?

No — a verbal agreement is valid for low-value moveable goods. For higher-value items, real property or company shares, written form is required or strongly recommended.

Can I return goods under a B2B contract?

The right to return goods in a B2B sale depends on the contract terms — the law does not grant it automatically (unlike consumer contracts).

How to handle a sale with reservation of title?

A reservation of title allows the seller to remain the owner of the goods until the price is fully paid. It protects the seller against buyer insolvency.
