#EveryoneNeedsaPlan: Small Business Have Consumer Rights Regarding Refunds and Returns

Posted by Dean McKinnon on 25 January 2024

Just because your business is the purchaser of goods or services does not necessarily mean it does not have legal rights as a 'consumer'

  • The Australian Consumer Laws protect small business purchases of goods or services if any one of the following conditions are met
    • the cost of the product or service is under $100,000
    • the product or service commonly bought for personal, domestic or household use
    • it is a vehicle or trailer eligible to be used on public roads
  • The following are not covered
    • the product or services was bought for resupply
    • the product is to be used in manufacturing
    • the product is to be used to replace or repair other goods
  • It's worthwhile have a read over the ACCC website to know your rights
  • It is recommended you seek advice from a suitably qualified legal adviser if required
