COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance on the interpretation and application of Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on consumer rights · European Union
According to the definition under Article 2(5), the criterion for classifying a contract as a ‘sales contract’ is the transfer of the ownership of goods to the consumer. Therefore, if a contract’s main purpose is the transfer of ownership of certain goods, it should be classified as a sales contract even if it also covers related services provided by the seller, such as installation, maintenance or any other processing, irrespective of the relative value of the goods and services.
