Consumer Protection Notes

We have outlined below the various pieces of legislation that offer protection for consumers.

Internet advertising is self-regulated through the Advertising Standard's Authority's (ASA's) Code of Practice. This states that adverts must be Legal, Decent, Honest and Truthful.

For more details see the leaflet entitled 'Advertising and Promotions' or visit the ASA website at http://www.asa.org.uk

TRADE ADVERTISERS

If an advertiser advertises a horse or pony or product or service and they are trading as a business, then they MUST declare that they are a TRADE ADVERTISER and as such they are subject to The Trade Descriptions Act 1968.

The main points of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 can be found at: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/wirral/ebap/ecommerce43.htm
