The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has published new regulations on consumer contracts which are intended to harmonise distance selling and off-premises sales rules across the EU. The Regulations will apply to consumer contracts entered into on or after 13 June 2014 and replace existing legislation on distance selling and cancellation of consumer contracts. They include model instructions for cancellation and a model form of cancellation for consumers.
Key changes are as follows:
For all retailers, whether in-store or on-line, the regulations will most likely mean that existing terms and conditions and current practices will need to be updated to fall in line with the new requirements.
