In the lectures promoted by Procon-SP, many suppliers have doubts whether establishments are obliged to accept checks, may refuse recent account checks, third, or other region.
Check out some guidelines on the subject:
- The supplier is not obliged to accept checks in their establishment. The only way to mandatory payment is the national currency, in accordance with Article 315 of the Civil Code.
- If you do not accept checks, the supplier shall report on the restriction of clear, precise and ostentatious, preferably by means of posters in easy viewing spot for the consumer.
- The supplier is free to accept or not corporate checks, third-party or other places, as in such cases is difficult to compensate them or even check the actual issuer of the data. These restrictions should be informed in advance to consumers, to avoid any kind of doubt or embarrassment;
- The establishment may require user registration to accept payment by check. But the requirement should also be informed in advance.
- To complete the registration may be required: proof of address and official identity documents, such as ID, SSN, phone and address. The request for proof of income, for example, is improper.
Know that: If you accept to receive check, the supplier can not refuse recent account checks. It can not require minimum value for this form of payment.
Important! The supplier may request of a consumer, you want to pay by check, a photo identification. If he refuses, the establishment has the right not to make the sale.
