Section 50: Information about the trader or service to be binding

Consumer Rights Act 2015 · 2015 c. 15View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 1: Consumer contracts for goods, digital content and services — CHAPTER 4: Services

Every contract to supply a service is to be treated as including as a term of the contract anything that is said or written to the consumer, by or on behalf of the trader, about the trader or the service, if—

it is taken into account by the consumer when deciding to enter into the contract, or
it is taken into account by the consumer when making any decision about the service after entering into the contract.

Anything taken into account by the consumer as mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b) is subject to—

anything that qualified it and was said or written to the consumer by the trader on the same occasion, and
any change to it that has been expressly agreed between the consumer and the trader (before entering into the contract or later).

Without prejudice to subsection (1), any information provided by the trader in accordance with regulation 9, 10 or 13 of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (SI 2013/3134) is to be treated as included as a term of the contract.

A change to any of the information mentioned in subsection (3), made before entering into the contract or later, is not effective unless expressly agreed between the consumer and the trader.

See section 54 for a consumer's rights if the trader is in breach of a term that this section requires to be treated as included in a contract.
