This part of the law explains the rules for different types of sales and agreements. It covers four main areas that you might come across when you’re shopping or buying things:
Layby sale agreements: These are when you pay for something over time before you get to take it home.
Uninvited direct sale agreements: These happen when someone comes to your house or workplace to sell you something without you asking them to come.
Extended warranty agreements: These are extra promises to fix or replace something you’ve bought if it breaks, usually for a longer time than the normal warranty.
Auctions: These are events where people bid against each other to buy things.
The law puts all these rules in one place to make it easier for you to understand your rights when you’re buying things or making agreements with sellers.
