Note from asker:
| With all respect for your impressive resourcefulness, all your references seem to relate to English regulations rather than a translation of the name for the German legislation. |

John Fenz
: or "law on distance selling", or "distance selling directive", or even "remote purchase law". Search Google in conjunction with "Fernabsatzrecht", you will find reputable sources confirming either version.

Thanks but "directive" risks confusion with the EU directive - I think asker's text relates to German domestic law

Lancashireman
: Also has the merits of not sporting a redundant hyphen (see above).

: There is a EU "Distance Selling Directive" - 97/7/EU but not "distant" - but I cannot see how the Asker's text refers to this

Maybe the emphasis is on "entfernt/fern" and not "Entfernung". I simply went by what the cited book title said. Maybe that's what it is...

Remote-Purchase law
The BGH has now denied the appeal granted to the plaintiff by the court of appeal. According to the provisions of the Fernabsatzrecht [Remote-Purchase Law] (originally a separate law entitled Fernabsatzgesetz, now incorporated into the German Civil Code (BGB) as sections BGB §§ 312 ff.) consumers in the case of purchase contracts with commercial parties that have come about through the exclusive use of remote-communication means have a right to return the article or articles purchased within two weeks.

It is enforced in Germany in the form of the Fernabsatzrecht (Remote-Purchase Law), and includes a 14-day cancellation period and an exception to the rules in the case of auction houses. The UK's equivalent law provides a cancellation period of only seven working days.
