As of August 3rd, companies providing goods or services in Argentina that are not registered as small or medium sized businesses shall comply with the new customer service and collection management directives set forth by the Secretary of Commerce. These directives also apply if contractors provide the aforementioned services. Lerman & Szlak has prepared a brief guide for the compliance of the new standards.
Marketing and advertising agencies and other content creators need to be cautious about the images, videos and audios they use when generating marketing materials. Infringement of a person's image rights or privacy can mean significant losses for the business, probably far outweighing any kind of profit or benefit achieved by the marketing campaign.
A court located in the Province of Tucumán ordered a preventive seizure of the current and future funds held by the debtor of an IOU in a well-known cryptocurrency exchange platform operating outside of Argentina, for a total amount of USD 6,500. Given the high volatility of these goods, and the impossibility of depositing them in Argentinean bank accounts, it remains to be seen how this warrant will be implemented.
