Structural and content reform of distance selling rules by Mićović Andrej M., Mihajlović Borko N.

“…Amended Directive 2011/83 introduced a separate chapter with rules that apply only to financial services contracts concluded at a distance. Content changes and amedments of the rules on the distance contracts for consumer financial services are related to the trader's obligations to provide pre-contractual information and explanations, the consumer's right to withdraw from the contract and the unfair business practices regarding the use of the online interface.…”

Some Results on Fixed and Best Proximity Points of Precyclic Self-Mappings by M. De la Sen

“…In the general case, the contractive condition of contractive precyclic self-mappings is admitted to be point dependent and it is only formulated on a complete disposal, rather than on each individual subset, while it involves a condition on the number of iterations allowed within each individual subset before switching to its adjacent one. …”
