PART 1Consumer contracts for goods, digital content and services

CHAPTER 3Digital content

What remedies are there if statutory rights under a digital content contract are not met?

45Right to a refund

1

The right to a refund gives the consumer the right to receive a refund from the trader of all money paid by the consumer for the digital content (subject to subsection (2)).

2

If the breach giving the consumer the right to a refund affects only some of the digital content supplied under the contract, the right to a refund does not extend to any part of the price attributable to digital content that is not affected by the breach.

3

A refund must be given without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days beginning with the day on which the trader agrees that the consumer is entitled to a refund.

4

The trader must give the refund using the same means of payment as the consumer used to pay for the digital content, unless the consumer expressly agrees otherwise.

5

The trader must not impose any fee on the consumer in respect of the refund.
