▪ It is our responsibility to carefully read contract clauses before signing standard contracts.
▪ Contract clauses that diminish our consumer rights are considered unfair and hence are not legally binding.
▪ No terms can prohibit us from exercising our legal rights when the seller is at fault.
▪ It is prohibited to irrevocably bind consumers to terms which they had no real opportunity of being acquainted with before the conclusion of the contract.
▪ When we are not sure about the meaning of a term we should request a clarification before proceeding with the sale.
