SECTION 1

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. 

Consumer Rights for Retailers - The Consumer Rights Act
SECTION 2

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.

Consumer Rights for Retailers - Terms and Conditions
SECTION 3

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!

Consumer Rights for Retailers - Disputes
SECTION 4

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.

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 the RETAILER. It’s for anyone who sells goods or products to the public.

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. 

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

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.

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.

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)).
