New Consumer Contracts Regulations
Its all change in the consumer contracts world at the moment! As well as the Consumer Rights Bill working its way through parliament at the moment (on which you can read our previous blog ), this year also sees the new Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 come into force.
These new regulations will replace the current Doorstep Selling Regulations and the Distance Selling Regulations.
The new regulations are quite complex and do introduce some changes from the existing legislation. Therefore, all businesses who deal with customers online, via telephone or away from their shops and offices should arrange to have their terms and conditions reviewed to ensure their terms are ready for the new regulations when they come into force.
