The Warsaw Court of Appeal has ordered Allegro to immediately stop hiding and favoring selected delivery methods for “Allegro Smart!” purchases on both its website and mobile app. <\/p>\n
Allegro users will experience changes when making purchasing decisions. The court ordered the platform to immediately cease hiding and favoring selected delivery methods for purchases made with “Allegro Smart!”. The decision of the Warsaw Court of Appeal applies to both the website and the mobile application.<\/p>\n
The Warsaw Court of Appeal upheld the interim injunction requested by the Consumer Forum Foundation. For millions of users, this means changes when choosing a parcel pickup method. According to the court ruling, Allegro must introduce two key modifications to the shopping process.<\/p>\n
What does this mean for consumers? All available shipping methods provided by the seller must now be presented in a completely equal manner.<\/p>\n
The editors remind that the case is related to an application by the Consumer Forum Foundation. Activists challenged the platform’s practice of limiting the visibility of certain carriers when the cart value qualified for free shipping.<\/p>\n
In parallel, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) has been monitoring the platform’s actions for some time, conducting an explanatory proceeding regarding the automatic redirection of parcels to lockers from the company’s own program.<\/p>\n
Allegro PL appealed the initial decision of the District Court. Although the Court of Appeal upheld the order to change the presentation of deliveries, it took into account the company’s position regarding potential sanctions for non-compliance with the ruling. The court specified that any penalty for violating obligations will amount to a maximum of 20,000 PLN for each day of delay. The company expressed satisfaction with the clarification of these financial frameworks while maintaining that the foundation’s claims are unfounded.<\/p>\n
The proceeding in which the court will assess the legality of the practices used by Allegro is ongoing. A final ruling will be issued after the case is considered on its merits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
