Misleading advertising

The motor vehicle industry relies on advertising to promote its products. As price plays a major role in the decision to buy a motor vehicle, so does price advertising in attracting customers. It is critical that businesses act lawfully when advertising and promoting their vehicles. The Australian Consumer Law affects the way you advertise and promote your vehicles, ensuring that all businesses play fairly, for the benefit of both themselves and consumers.

Telemarketing is one of the most common forms of direct contact advertising in Australia, used by a wide range of businesses for their advertising and sales. Telemarketing is contact, via a telecommunications service, from an individual or organisation whose aim is to supply, provide, advertise or promote goods and services. This includes contact by landline, mobile, SMS and fax.
