- Under the Consumer Protection Act 2019, Mr. Deepak can seek compensation for a manufacturing flaw in the washing machine through the Right to Seek Redressal provision. This law allows customers to seek remedies for unfair trade practices and defective products. Mr. Deepak might file a complaint with the relevant consumer dispute redressal forum to seek compensation for losses caused by the malfunctioning washing machine.
- Two points of mandatory information that an e-commerce platform must provide to a consumer are:
- Details of the seller: The e-commerce site must give the seller's name, contact information, and address. This allows customers to identify and contact the vendor with any product-related difficulties or questions.
- Product description and specifications: The e-commerce platform must give accurate and complete product information, including description, features, specs, dimensions, and terms and conditions. This allows consumers to make informed decisions regarding a product's fit for their requirements and expectations prior to purchase.
