Office of Fair Trading

Consumers’ responsibilities – goods The law aims to give consumers and sellers a fair go. It is not designed to protect consumers if they are careless or make unreasonable demands. There are several circumstances when consumers are not entitled to a remedy from the seller. Sellers do not have to give refunds, credit or exchanges if consumers: • change their minds, decide they do not like the goods or have no use for them (except in cases where other legislation provides for a ‘cooling off’ period – for example, door-to- door sales) • discover they can buy the goods cheaper elsewhere (except where the seller provides a guarantee that the goods cannot be purchased cheaper elsewhere) • examine the goods before buying and ought to have seen any obvious fault • had the defect drawn to their attention before buying (for instance, when goods were labelled as seconds, or faults were clearly marked) • damage the goods by using them in a way they were not meant to be used.
