Question: Which of the following Two transactions would fall outside the scope of the Consumer Rights Act 2015?
a) A purchase of a washing machine from a department store which offers extended warranty
b) A purchase of a second hand ring from a jewellery shop
c) A free “app”
d) A purchase of a unused toaster from a private seller at a car boot saleRegarding the above question, what is included in the consumer rights act 2015. Do the points in this act have to be memorized. Also what does the option d mean. What does car boot sale mean and does the word unused in unused toaster important.
The Act applies to consumer contracts where an entity, in the course of business, sells an item to someone acting not in the course of business
Both options a and b appear to be sales by a business to a consumer
Option c is not a sale
Option d is not a sale by a business
In the UK (I can’t speak for anywhere else) it is common practice for quasi-markets to take place where private individuals can invite the public to make an offer for sale for the now-unwanted goods of the seller. These sellers will drive to a predetermined location in their car / vehicle and, having parked their car in a line along with many others, then typically open the boot / trunk (if you’re American!) and exhibit all their unwanted goods for sale
Clothes, electrical goods, souvenirs, pictures, bric-a-brac … whatever they have that they no long want
That’s a car boot sale
An ‘unused’ toaster is a toaster that hasn’t been used! Effectively it’s as new as if you had just bought it from the electrical goods retailer’s shop
OK?
