Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is dictated by the fact that digitalization processes taking place in all spheres of economic life of society have affected binding legal relations in the field of retail sale. Every year, distance trading is becoming more popular among citizens and people engaged in entrepreneurial activities. During the period of mass sales, citizens are most actively using online services of trading platforms. Online shopping, organized by online stores across the country, shows that civil relations are increasingly arising by signing contracts remotely, which, on the one hand, is a convenient option for buyers, and on the other hand, distances it from the seller in case of improper fulfillment of obligations by the latter. The remote method of selling goods is regulated by art. 26.1 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated 07.02.1992 No. 2300-1 “On Consumer Rights Protection”, the Rules for the Sale of goods under a Retail sale agreement approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 31.12.2020 No. 2463. Thus, the digitalization of the country leaves its mark on the provision of services and the sale of goods, which creates a number of problems related to the violation and protection of consumer rights. The subject of the study is the rights of consumers who purchase goods remotely. In the scientific works of scientists D. K. Dolina, L. Yu. Kiseleva, V. G. Borshcheva issues related to the specifics of concluding a purchase and sale agreement by remote means, regulation of legal relations between participants and the main tasks in the field of consumer protection were considered. The paper analyzes court decisions on disputes related to the purchase of goods on marketplaces. The authors of the work studied the legislative framework governing legal relations for the protection of the rights of consumers to whom the goods purchased online were not transferred. The methodological basis of this article consists of general scientific and special research methods: formal-logical, comparative, methods of analysis and synthesis, the method of generalization. The article defines the legal issues of the features of distance trading, and concludes that the purchase of goods via the Internet is associated with the emergence of conflicting legal situations that should be taken into account by both sellers and buyers.
