The tying occurs when the supplier conditions the sale of a product to acquisition of another, forcing the consumer to a forced acquisition. The Consumer Defense Code considers the sale married one consumer crime.

But this concept is quite open and requires prior analysis to establish the existence in this case the tying actually happened. That's because there are situations where you can not sell a product without the other track. It would be unreasonable condition the separate sale all components of a computer, or the left foot and the right foot of a pair of shoes are sold separately.

It would not be reasonable to require that the right foot is sold separately from the left foot

The STJ understood that sets married illicit sale to ban consumption inside the cinema, food purchased at another establishment. In other words, you can purchase separate tickets for the movie and food of bomboniere, and the consumer can choose the place of purchase.

Another possibility that has been treated by the courts with regard to promotions in which, by buying a certain amount of product, the consumer gets a freebie. The gifts should be free and should be possible to separate toast acquisition to stave off married illicit sale.

The Courts have also decided on the illegality of charging the fee SATI (Technical Advisory Service Real Estate) and brokerage in property purchase agreements on sales stands.

If you are faced with such a case, or in doubt about the bundling, look for the prosecution, the PROCON, or other consumer protection bodies so you can be guided.
