• As consumers we are legally bound to honour sales agreements.
• Sales contracts are best concluded in writing as verbal contracts may be problematic in case of a dispute.
• Once a sale is confirmed consumers cannot change their mind.
• Consumers cannot be irrevocably bound to contract terms which they were not aware of before the sales contract was concluded.
• When the terms and conditions of a sales contract are not honoured by the trader consumers may opt out of the contract and claim back any money paid.
