Businesses who deal with consumers need to be aware that there are specific rules giving rights to consumers.
These rules include things such as:
- information to be given to the consumer
- cooling off periods in relation to certain purchases
- reasonableness of contract terms
- dealing with a consumer’s statutory rights
- data protection and electronic marketing
