In Polish law, in accordance with European standards, the consumer is a special figure and is surrounded by legal protection. A consumer is considered to be an individual who makes a transaction with a business not directly related to their economic or professional activity. In other words, purchases are made only and exclusively for individuals, not for their professional activities. In opposition to the consumer stands the entrepreneur, who sells something as a professional.
