The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is now in force 1st October 2015 3:06 PM The Business Companion website mentioned above is a fantastic resource for all business owners regardless of your trade and is worth a visit for any legal advice: www.businesscompanion.info I'd like to draw attention to the digital section, as I know there a lot of members who deal in digital products and may not consider themselves as classed under the new Consumer Rights Act.
Digital Content - Business Companion The Act defines 'digital content' as meaning 'data which are produced and supplied in digital form'. Therefore a huge array of digital-format products fall within this definition - for example:

So a lot of information to take in, and (in my assessment) there is no immediate panic, but you should start to get familiar with the new act to see how it affects you.
