IT security updates will become an objective legal obligation for consumer products from next year, regardless of the individual contract design
"Within the next two years, two new EU directives will have a significant impact on consumer protection law once they have been transposed into national law. The Directive on certain aspects of contracts for the supply of digital content (DID Directive)1 and the Directive on certain aspects of contracts for the sale of goods (SC Directive)2 aim to make cross-border trade in (digital) goods and digital media easier, more transparent and more secure."
