Consumer laws

If you have purchased a product from a company, the Consumer Sales Act will govern the purchase.

The Consumer Services Act applies when a commercial provider performs a service to you as a consumer.

When you, as a private individual, buy or sell a product to another private person, the Sales of Goods Act is applicable.

Have you purchased something on the Internet, or from a company but not at its brick-and-mortar premises? If so, by law you have 14 days to cancel your purchase.

When you purchase goods or service from a company, you are entitled to accurate and clear information about what the item or service costs.

The Product Safety Act is the law that requires that products that companies offer to consumers must be safe.
