About this course

Online resources provide a lot of information for consumers. This includes their rights as customers and the procedures they can follow if they're unsatisfied with digital content they have purchased.

THIS course has been written for the RETAILER. It's been created for anyone who sells any type of digital content to the public.

It clearly states a customer's rights in the eyes of the law, and it provides practical guidance on how to deal with customer complaints. It also explains how retailers can make sure their digital content meets legal standards.

Anyone that sells digital content should have a thorough understanding of consumer rights. Our consumer rights for retailers course looks into The Consumer Rights Act 2015 in detail, as well as looking into terms & conditions and how to deal with customer disputes effectively

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.

In October 2015 Consumer law was subject to some big changes as the Consumer Rights Act came into force. The changes included:

  • What to do when goods are faulty
  • What happens when there are unfair terms in a contract
  • More flexibility for enforcers to respond to breaches in law
  • Digital Content - What happens when it's faulty? Consumers now have the right to replacements or repair
  • Changes to how services should be match up to what was agreed between the consumer and the seller

Digital content to be of satisfactory quality

(1) Every contract to supply digital content is to be treated as including a term that the quality of the digital content is satisfactory.
(2) The quality of digital content is satisfactory if it meets the standard that a reasonable person would consider satisfactory, taking account of—

(a) any description of the digital content,
(b) the price mentioned in section 33(1) or (2)(b) (if relevant), and
(c) all the other relevant circumstances (see subsection (5)).
