The Australian Consumer Law sets out rules for businesses to abide by when dealing with their customers. It's your responsibility to know what the rules are.
There are different types of warranties that businesses can offer to consumers. These warranties do not override or limit consumer guarantees and consumers may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund, even if any voluntary or extended warranty has expired.
When consumers take their goods to have them repaired they do not always realise that the goods may contain stored data that could be lost in the repair process.
Debt collection occurs when creditors and collectors seek to secure payment from consumers or businesses who are legally bound to pay or to repay money they owe. It is important that any organisation involved in recovering debt is aware of its legal obligations.
All consumer products you supply must be safe and meet consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). You cannot sell banned products and you must ensure that your products or product-related services comply with relevant mandatory standards before they are offered for sale. The ACL also contains two mandatory notification requirements for recalls and mandatory reporting.
