Exploring the UAE's latest Consumer Protection Regulations
On 3 July 2023, the UAE issued Cabinet Decision No. 66 of 2023, setting out the Executive Regulations for Federal Law No. 15 of 2020 on Consumer Protection. The rules generally aim to enhance consumer rights in areas such as the sale of goods (including consumer products), remedies, and obligations of sellers or service providers.
If these executive regulations strengthen or clarify consumer rights and seller/service-provider duties (e.g., disclosure, complaint handling, warranties/guarantees, and remedies for defective goods), they could affect how AppleCare+ (as an additional protection/service product) is marketed and administered in the UAE. Depending on whether the rules treat extended warranties/service plans as “consumer protection” offerings, Apple may need to ensure AppleCare+ terms align with mandatory consumer rights, refund/repair remedies, and transparency requirements.
