Knowing you rights

The Fair Trading Act allows us as consumers to have the rights to refunds and be able to take a business to court for false advertisements and more. The commerce commission's goal is to stop the false and unfair trade. The only other people to be able to be responsible for the act on unfair trade is the consumer and producer. The act apply's to two groups, Consumers and Producer. The act apply's to the false and unfair making in a contract . This means that when you sign a contract if it seems unfair or put you at a disadvantage from everyone else. The act may not apply to when you buy an item and break the producers policy or the policy for the product. The producers need to put them self's in the consumers "shoes" so that they can see what the consumers see in a product. The commission is empowered to protect us as kiwis from unfair contracts. If you need to report a business you need to find out more about the information they are giving you and be able to back up your argument and go to the commission page and make a report.
