Does not acquire the goods and services, or hold themselves out as requiring the goods or services out as acquiring the goods or services for the purpose of:

(i) resupplying them in trade;
(ii) consuming them in the course of a process of production or manufacture; or
(iii) in the case of goods, repairing or treating in trade, other goods or fixtures on land.

In the event that the goods sold to a consumer, are deficient or faulty, the retailer has the obligation to repair, replace or refund the item.

If the defects can be repaired, it is the retailer's right to repair or replace the product. If the product cannot be repaired the consumer may choose to either replace the product with an identical product type or request a refund for the original product purchase price.


Remedies must be sort in a reasonable time.

The CGA does not apply where the product has been misused, broken or improperly operated. Defects must not be due to a consumer using the goods in a way that the goods are not intended to be used.
