Consumer Law
In a landscape of businesses both large and small, it is crucial to know your rights as a consumer, especially when you are facing a business conducting itself dubiously. What do you do when you feel like you have been dealt with unfairly by a business? Is it possible to get a refund for a defective good? We’ve put together a guide for you to manage these sticky situations.
Being a consumer involves purchasing goods and services for personal use from businesses. This ultimately involves contract law, since a consumer forms contracts with a business whenever he purchases something.
