• If you are the media service provider of an audiovisual media service, endeavour to make your programmes continuously and progressively more accessible to people with disabilities (Media Act, s. 39(1)).
• If you are a national audiovisual media service provider whose average audience share in the previous calendar year exceeds 1%, ensure that all your programmes, apart from television shopping windows, advertising and trailers, are available with Hungarian subtitles, for example through teletext, or with sign language interpretation; this does not apply to programmes made available in their original language, except those published under s. 99(2) (s. 39(2) and (3)).
• If you are the public service or significant market power audiovisual media service provider, make the domestically produced films you show on your media service with the highest average audience share between 18:30 and 21:30 accessible to visually impaired viewers (s. 39(2a)).
• Cover no less than ten hours of programme time a day in serving hearing-impaired viewers, and once you have made a programme, or a dramaturgically connected series of programmes, accessible by subtitling, sign language interpretation or accessibility for visually impaired viewers, do so for its whole duration (s. 39(4) and (5)).
• Tell viewers, before a programme that is subtitled, sign-interpreted or made accessible for visually impaired viewers, by pictogram and spoken announcement that it is available in that form, and before a subtitled programme that it is also available in that form on the related teletext service; keep the subtitled text accurate and in step with the events on screen, using an abridged summary only where full subtitles would be impossible to follow; and keep subtitling of programmes not published from a recording as accurate and in step as can reasonably be expected (s. 39(6) and (7)).
• If you are a programme distributor, pass on the teletext signal or other subtitling that the audiovisual media service provider supplies, in step with the picture and sound, on every transmission system, network or distribution platform (s. 39(8)).
• Prepare an action plan on accessibility measures and report on the measures taken when the NMHH calls on you to (s. 39(9)).

• Treat standalone software as an open question under this chapter: it applies to a defect of an ingó dolog (movable thing), and its text does not say whether software supplied on its own is one (Secs. 6:551, 5:14(1)).
• If you produce a product, a part or a raw material, or put your name, trade mark or another distinguishing sign on a product, you answer as its producer (Sec. 6:553(1)).
• If you bring a product into the European Economic Area in the course of your business, you answer as its producer (Sec. 6:553(2)).
• If you distribute a product whose producer cannot be identified, name the producer or the distributor that supplied you to the injured person within thirty days of a written request, or you answer as the producer (Sec. 6:553(3) and (4)).
• Make the product as safe as can generally be expected, having regard to its purpose, reasonably expected use, the information given about it, when you put it into circulation and the state of science and technology (Sec. 6:554(1)).
• Be ready to prove a Sec. 6:555 defense: that you did not put the product into circulation, did not make it for commercial distribution, that the defect arose after you put it into circulation, that it was not recognizable in the state of science and technology, or that applying a law or a binding regulatory requirement caused it (Sec. 6:555(1)).
• If you made only a raw material or a part, be ready to prove that the structure or composition of the end product, or the end producer's instruction, caused the defect (Sec. 6:555(2)).
• Do not rely on a contract term to limit or exclude your liability to the injured person, because it is void (Sec. 6:557).
• Keep the claim periods in view: the injured person has three years from learning of the damage, the defect and the producer, and your liability ends ten years after you put the product into circulation (Sec. 6:558).
• This chapter keeps governing a product placed on the market or put into service up to and including 9 December 2026, because the replaced provisions apply only to products placed on the market or put into service after that day (Sec. 55/A of Act CLXXVII of 2013, as inserted by Act XCII of 2025).

2022. évi XVII. törvény a termékekre és a szolgáltatásokra vonatkozó akadálymentességi követelményeknek való megfelelés általános szabályairól, 1-6. §, 8-9. §, 11-12. § és 1-3. melléklet; 605/2022. (XII. 28.) Korm. rendelet · Read the law's page

• If you provide to consumers in Hungary an electronic communications service, a service that gives access to audiovisual media services, an element of an air, bus, rail or waterborne passenger transport service, a consumer banking service, an e-book or dedicated software service, or an e-commerce service, make the service meet the accessibility requirements of Annex 1 to the Accessibility Act (Act XVII of 2022, ss. 1(2) and 3(1); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 4(1)); the Act has applied since 28 June 2025 to services provided after that day (ss. 10 and 11).
• Make the products you use to provide the service accessible, make the websites, related online applications and mobile applications through which you provide the service perceivable, operable, understandable and robust, and give information about the service in a way that uses more than one sensory channel, is understandable and has an alternative for non-text content (Annex 1, points 3.1 to 3.3).
• If you provide support services such as customer services, helplines or technical support, give information on the accessibility of the service and its compatibility with assistive technologies through accessible means of communication (Annex 1, point 3.4).
• If you provide an electronic communications service, provide real-time text in addition to voice and, where video is used, total conversation (Annex 1, points 4.1.1 and 4.1.2; Directive (EU) 2019/882, Annex I, Section IV).
• If you provide a service that gives access to audiovisual media services, provide perceivable, operable and understandable electronic programme guides and pass on subtitles, audio description, spoken subtitles and sign language interpretation completely, in step with sound and video and with user control of display and use (Annex 1, point 4.2).
• If you provide an air, bus, rail or waterborne passenger transport service, give the information on accessibility of vehicles, infrastructure, the built environment and assistance, and on smart ticketing, real-time passenger information and further service information that point 4.3 of Annex 1 lists; for urban, suburban and regional transport, make the self-service terminals used to provide the service accessible under the product rules (Annex 1, points 4.3 and 4.4).
• If you provide a consumer banking service, make identification methods, electronic signatures, security and payment services perceivable, operable, understandable and robust, and give information that does not exceed level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Annex 1, point 4.5).
• If you provide e-books, keep text and audio in step, keep the digital files from obstructing assistive technologies, make content accessible and navigable and its presentation flexible, give accessibility information through metadata, and make sure digital rights management measures do not block accessibility features (Annex 1, point 4.6).
• If you provide an e-commerce service, give information on the accessibility of the products and services you sell where the responsible economic operator provides it, and make identification, security and payment functions perceivable, operable, understandable and robust (Annex 1, point 4.7).
• Assess and document, in line with Annex 3, how your service meets the accessibility requirements, set that information out in your general terms and conditions or an equivalent document, publish it in written and oral form in a manner accessible to people with disabilities, and keep it for as long as you provide the service (Act XVII of 2022, s. 6(1) and Annex 3, point 1).
• Keep the service continuously in line with the accessibility requirements and monitor changes in the service, in the requirements and in the harmonised standards or technical specifications that apply to it; a service that meets harmonised standards, or the technical specifications of a Commission implementing act, is presumed to meet the requirements those standards or specifications cover (ss. 4(1) and (2) and 6(2)).
• If you judge, or have reason to suppose, that your service does not meet the requirements, take corrective measures without delay and inform the supervising authority, and the competent authorities of the other Member States where you provide the service, giving details of the non-compliance and the corrective measures (s. 6(3) and (4)).
• When the supervising authority asks, hand over the information and documentation needed to show that the service meets the requirements and cooperate with the authority (s. 6(5) and (6)).
• If the supervising authority warns you that your service does not meet the requirements, tell it without delay about the corrective measures you take (Government Decree 605/2022, s. 7).
• Ensure the continuous training of your employees so that accessible services are provided, including in information, advice and advertising, and ensure compliance also where a third party provides the service or part of it as your subcontractor (s. 3(2) and (4)).
• If you rely on the condition that compliance would require a significant modification that fundamentally alters the essential characteristics of the service or would impose a disproportionate burden, prepare a written assessment with detailed reasons using the criteria of Annex 2, inform the supervising authority, review the assessment when the service changes, when the authority asks and at least every five years, and keep it for five years from the last provision of the service; you cannot rely on the disproportionate burden condition if you receive funding from a source other than your own to improve accessibility (s. 5(1) to (7)).
• The duties of this row bind a service provider other than a micro-enterprise, an undertaking that employs fewer than 10 persons and whose annual net turnover or balance sheet total is at most the forint equivalent of EUR 2 million; a micro-enterprise that provides services is exempt from points 3 and 4 of Annex 1 and from the Act's duties on compliance with the accessibility requirements (ss. 2 point 28 and 3(3); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 4(5)).
• A service contract concluded before 28 June 2025 that does not meet the requirements is unaffected until it expires, but no later than 28 June 2030, and self-service terminals lawfully used before 28 June 2025 may stay in use to the end of their economically useful life, but for no more than 20 years after they entered use (s. 12(2) and (3); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 32).

2025. évi XCII. törvény a magánjogi tárgyú törvények módosításáról · Read the law's page

• These rules are enacted but do not apply yet: they apply to products placed on the market or put into service after 9 December 2026, and sections 6:550 to 6:559 of the Civil Code now in force keep governing earlier products (Sec. 95(6) of Act XCII of 2025; Sec. 55/A of Act CLXXVII of 2013).
• If you develop, make or have made a product, software included, or present yourself as its manufacturer by your name, trade mark or other distinguishing sign, you answer for damage a defect in it causes (Secs. 6:550(1)(a), 6:552 and 6:554(2)(a)).
• Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to keep the product safe while it is within your control: a defect that arises after you put the product into circulation because of software, an update or upgrade, or a missing update needed to maintain safety is not excused (Sec. 6:557(5)).
• Treat safety-relevant cybersecurity requirements and any recall as part of what decides whether your product is defective (Sec. 6:555(2)(f) and (g)).
• Allow for what the product learns or acquires after it is placed on the market, because the effect of that ability is weighed in deciding whether it is defective (Sec. 6:555(2)(c)).
• Keep evidence you could produce if a court orders you to make it available: failing to do so presumes the product defective (Sec. 6:556(1)(a)).
• If you are outside the EU, the importer, your authorized representative or, failing them, the fulfilment service provider answers for the product in your place (Sec. 6:550(1)(c)).
• If you distribute a product or run an online platform that lets consumers contract with traders, identify the liable business established in the EU, or your own supplier, within one month of the injured person's request, or you answer for the damage (Sec. 6:550(5) and (6)).
• If you substantially modify a product outside the manufacturer's control and then distribute it or put it into service, you answer as its manufacturer (Sec. 6:550(4)).
• If you build a software component into a product, you have no recourse against a micro or small enterprise that made the software where you waived recourse in the contract (Sec. 6:551).
• Do not rely on a contract term to limit or exclude liability to the injured person, because it is void (Sec. 6:559).
• Free and open-source software developed or made available in the course of a non-commercial activity is outside the chapter (Sec. 6:559/B(2)(b)).
