This Consumer Rights for Retailers training course is a practical guide to consumer law and legal standards for people who sell products. It explains what customers' rights are from the perspective of the RETAILER and can be used in conjunction with our other Consumer Rights Training titles.
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.

It’s a practical guide to consumer law. It’s all about making sure products meet legal standards and knowing what customers’ rights are – in order to stay within the law when dealing with a complaint.
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.

Covered in this course
The Consumer Rights Training for Retailers - GOODS course is broken down into 4 sections.
1) Background
In this section we take a quick look at basic definitions used in the Consumer Rights Act and who and what the Act applies to.
2) The Consumer Rights Act
This section looks at the Consumer Rights Act regarding goods. It explains the standards which must be met by your products and what you must do if a customer complains about them. It includes a very useful step-by-step guide to the process of handling complaints.
3) Terms and Conditions
This section covers fair wording. It looks at terms and conditions, notices and contracts. It talks about greylisted terms and blacklisted terms. A downloadable pdf explains what shouldn’t be said and what can’t be said. Use of any of these terms is likely to be challenged!
4) Disputes
Usually, if a customer complains about a product they’ve bought it can be resolved directly with them, face-to-face. However, sometimes this does NOT resolve the problem. We look at what happens next, including using Alternative Dispute Resolution instead of going to court.

Too Long
Although I found the training informative, I felt there was not enough interaction and a lot of information to be processed. Which therefore made the course seem very long.

Legislation relating to consumer rights

The Consumer Rights Act 2015
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.

(a) any description of the goods,
(b) the price or other consideration for the goods (if relevant), and
