BNZ JP Euro offered vehicles for sale on an “as is where is” basis and asked buyers to sign an agreement acknowledging there was “no warranty implied or given within it”.
Commission chairwoman Anna Rawlings said the statements suggested consumers had no rights if something went wrong with the vehicle, when in fact the Consumer Guarantees Act applies to used motor vehicles.
“Traders cannot evade their responsibilities to provide guarantees and remedies under the CGA by using phrases such as ‘as is, where is’.
“Where consumers buy vehicles from traders, rather than private sellers, the purchase will always be covered by statutory guarantees, including that the vehicle is of acceptable quality and complies with its description.” 作者: 三分帅气 时间: 2020-12-15 12:18:31
