Disputes related to banking, insurance, real estate, and construction are not accepted — these areas are handled by separate authorities. Complaints against tour operators and airlines are also excluded. In such cases, you can file a claim with the relevant regulator or consult a lawyer to determine the correct authority for submitting your documents.

Most often, consumers obtain a refund, product replacement, free repair, or partial compensation. In some cases, the seller may pay a fine or offer a goodwill bonus as an apology. The outcome depends on the evidence and the nature of the violation. Properly prepared documents and a well-drafted claim significantly increase the chances of receiving a full refund.

A lawyer analyzes the situation, prepares the claim and complaint, conducts negotiations, and oversees the process until a result is achieved. This helps avoid mistakes, speed up refunds, and reduce stress. Legal support is especially important for major purchases, travel-related expenses, and disputes with retail chains — a professional approach often resolves the issue in just one step.

A defective product can be returned. The key is to document the defect (photos or videos), keep the receipt, and save all correspondence with the seller.

A clear claim supported by proper documentation usually results in a refund within a short timeframe.
