Rigid Timelines and Criminal Marketing Penalties
The provision imposes a mandatory 14-day execution window for online orders (with contracts becoming voidable if missed) and criminalizes unsolicited commercial communications with up to 10 years imprisonment. While consumer protection is legitimate, these requirements create severe business environment concerns: the rigid performance timeline constrains supply chains and business models, while the criminal penalties for marketing communications are disproportionate compared to international norms (most democracies use administrative fines, not imprisonment). The lack of graduated enforcement, safe harbors for technical errors, or administrative remedies before criminal prosecution creates existential risks for e-commerce businesses, particularly startups and SMEs lacking sophisticated compliance infrastructure, deterring digital commerce investment.
