Specific laws apply to distance selling for <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/ecommerce-online-business\/consumer-protection\/\">consumer protection<\/a>, which details certain information, such as cancellation rights. One of the critical consumer laws you need to know about consumer rights is the Consumer Contract Regulations. This article will explain four crucial points about the Consumer Contract Regulations for online businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Consumer Contract Regulations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The full name of the Consumer Contract Regulations is the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges)&nbsp;Regulations 2013. However, people commonly refer to them as the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 for ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Consumer Contract Regulations are a piece of UK law that details obligations for <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/ecommerce-online-business\/building-ecommerce-business\/\">eCommerce businesses<\/a> because you trade online with consumers. These include rules such as ensuring :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>you describe the products that you sell accurately;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you provide full details of your business, which includes your address and telephone number;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>you include details of the rights your online customer have to <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/ecommerce-online-business\/exchange-policy\/\">cancel their purchase<\/a>, such as how to do so; and\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when you provide a refund, you do so promptly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do I Need to Know About the Consumer Contract Regulations for Online Businesses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many points that online businesses like yours need to know about the Consumer Contract Regulations. We will explore some key points for e-commerce businesses to understand below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Providing a Breakdown of Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A key point to note about the Consumer Contract Regulations is that they require you, as an eCommerce business, to provide a breakdown of costs for what you sell. This applies whether you are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>selling goods online;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>providing services online or&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>providing digital content online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing a breakdown of costs for your online business means that you must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>show what the cost of delivery of any product is;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>explain the options for delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>explain who pays for costs to return goods;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>say what the taxes are; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>how long the products will stay at their price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pre-ticked Boxes Are Prohibited&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that the Consumer Contract Regulations make it unlawful to include pre-ticked boxes. You cannot do this in terms of using them to try to sell extra products or services to your online customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Digital Content <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A third key point to understand about the Consumer Contract Regulations as an online business is your obligations regarding digital content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/05\/03024102\/LegalVision_UK-Supplier-Contracts-Checklist.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Supplier Contracts Checklist<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>Download this free Supplier Contracts Checklist to ensure your contracts will meet your business\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go.legalvision.co.uk\/supplier-contracts-checklist.html\" class=\" block px-5 py-3.5 max-w-fit bg-orange button__hover transition rounded text-white font-bold text-lg no-underline uppercase leading-tight text-center\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Download Now<\/a>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you sell digital content, the Regulations require you to inform your customers about its compatibility with hardware and software and provide details about its functionality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Consumer Contract Obligations After Ordering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As an eCommerce business, an important point to know about the Consumer Contract Regulations is your obligations after ordering. In addition to rules you must comply with before a sale, the two key things you must do after orders are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>provide your customer with a copy of their <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/commercial-contracts\/steps-to-take-before-signing-a-contract\/\">contract<\/a>; and&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>deliver the goods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A contract must be in a format your online customer can retain, such as paper or email. They must have this by the time they receive their goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>The Regulations detail that you must deliver goods within 30 days of their order unless you and your online customer agree on an alternative period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline

These are detailed rules about what you must and must not do when you sell your goods and services. This article describes four key points to understand about the Regulations. The first is the obligation to provide a breakdown of your customer&#8217;s online purchase costs. Another helpful fact is that you do not include pre-ticked boxes when selling your goods and services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also essential to know that there are rules on what information to provide for the material you sell. Also, when you sell online, you have two obligations after your customers order. These are to give them a copy of their contract and deliver their goods within 30 days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help understanding key points about the Consumer Contract Regulations for online businesses, LegalVision\u2019s experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/business-lawyers-lp\/\">eCommerce lawyers<\/a> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
