Consumer protection protects customers' wellbeing and interests through education, mobilisation and advocacy. Consumers must have access to reliable, unbiased information about the items and services they buy. The government, businesses and consumers must collaborate to create an effective consumer protection system. We can do this by enforcing agreements called ‘contract laws’ that try to secure parties by implementing formalities.

We'll discuss in detail what to consider and the overall capacity of the parties involved. 

The terms found within a contract are not all of the same importance. We will teach you how to analyse the different terminologies and their importance within a contract. Research concepts such as the limitations of various clauses such as liability, liquidated damages, confidentiality and the arbitration clause and the indemnity agreement.
