 | | More generally, in addition to the provisions of § 6, all subsidiary provisions set out in the ABGB or in model contracts are void if, in the light of all the circumstances, they seriously disadvantage the consumer (§ 879 (3) ABGB). |
 | | Very generally, the so-called "Transparenzgebot" (transparency requirement) states that any provisions contained in the ABGB or in model contracts prepared by the entrepreneur are void if they are worded in a way which is unclear or difficult to understand. |
 | | Should the goods or services provided by the entrepreneur be defective, the ABGB offers the consumer warranty provisions which, depending on the nature and seriousness of the shortcoming, entitle the consumer to demand that the shortcoming be made good free of charge, a price reduction, exchange of the good or cancellation of the contract. |
