Did You Know? Your Consumer Rights Matter!
Many people don’t know that the Consumer Protection Act protects you when you buy goods or services.
Here are 3 important rights most people don’t know about:
1. The 6-Month Return Rule
If you buy a product and it breaks or does not work properly within 6 months, you have the right to return it.
The supplier must repair, replace, or refund the item — even if the shop says “No refunds.”
2. You Cannot Be Forced Into Unfair Contracts
Businesses cannot include unfair or misleading terms in their contracts. If a contract is unreasonable or unfair, it can be challenged.
3. False Advertising Is Illegal
If a company advertises something and the product or service is not what was promised, you have the right to complain and claim your rights.
