HERNANDEZ ZULUAGA, José Carlos. The Internet of Things in the Colombian Consumer Statute: A Study from the New European Directives in the Digital Single Market. []. , 19, 39, pp.131-166. ISSN 1692-2530.  https://doi.org/10.22395/ojum.v19n39a6.

This article aims towards describing the concept of goods and services in the Consumer Rights Directive of the European Union (EU) and the Colombian Consumer Statute for later analyzing in each one of these legal systems how should they be understood in a digital market context. This will allow, through a descriptive methodology, the consideration of the legal treatment of goods that employ the digital elements for their functioning, also known as Internet of things (IoT) in Colombia. After presenting the legal effects arising from a consumption relationship of this kind, this work will propose that the Colombian Consumer Statute, at its actual state, is not enough for facing the fourth industrial revolution and the digital market and thus proposing a series of substantial and procedural measures necessary for allowing the engagement of Colombia with the accelerated growth of electronic exchange.
