About this course

There is a lot of information on the internet for consumers, explaining their rights and telling them what to do to complain about goods or products they buy, but rather less to help retailers.

This course has been written from the perspective of a retailer. If you sell goods or products to the public, then this practical guide on consumer and retail law will give you a full understanding of the considerations to make in order to stay compliant.

The Consumer Rights Training for Retailers selling goods looks at The Consumer Rights Act 2015 in depth, terms & conditions between the seller and the customer and how to effectively deal with customer disputes, including the Alternative Dispute Resolution. Below, we look at the legal compliance for businesses in meeting The Consumer Rights Act 2015.

We also offer consumer rights training for those selling services and for those selling digital content.

Very informative course

Very good course. Helps to clarify the information that I already know.

Easy to understand & complete

This training was well presented with good visual slides when explaining subject talking about. The only reason I have given this training 4 starts and not 5 is due to my disappointment not being able to resit test at end of training presentation. Wanted to increase percentage of pass.

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

How the Consumer Rights Act affects the way your business handles goods?

The Consumer Rights Act sets certain standards that are expected for goods, services or digital content.

It gives customers a number of new rights and remedies if the products or services they buy fall short of the standards required.

Anyone selling goods, services or digital content should have a thorough understanding of The Consumer Rights Act.

Goods to be of satisfactory quality

(1) Every contract to supply goods is to be treated as including a term that the quality of the goods is satisfactory.

(2) The quality of goods is satisfactory if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would consider satisfactory, taking account of—

(a) any description of the goods,

(b) the price or other consideration for the goods (if relevant), and

(c) all the other relevant circumstances (see subsection (5)).

Chapter 2, Goods, Section 9 – The Consumer Rights Act

As outlined, goods that retailers sell must be of satisfactory quality. Goods are assessed against the following criteria to determine their quality:

  • The durability of the product
  • Suitability for the intended purpose
  • Appearance and finish of goods
  • How safe the product is
  • No defects that impact the final product
