Consumer system details prohibited unfair practices

The Saudi Press Agency lists examples of unfair commercial practices prohibited under the Consumer Protection System. They include advertising unavailable products or services, promoting limited-time or limited-quantity offers without reasonable stock, and paid promotion that is not disclosed as advertising. The system also prohibits certain unjustified additional fees, fake reviews or distorted consumer opinions, and unjustified discrimination based on race, sex or nationality. These are examples, not an exhaustive list; other unfair practices may be specified by regulation. The system takes effect 180 days after publication in the Official Gazette.
