    Clearly Phil the Taxi likes to fantasise about men called Jon.
    I'm so glad I am not called Jon

    "Conforms to contract" means that the goods are required to meet the implied terms of Sale of Goods Act including s.14(2) "satisfactory quality".

    These implied terms cannot be overriden in business-to-consumer transactions and any attempt to do so would be void.

    There would be a lowering of the standard as the goods were refurbished. However, that will not be a get out of jail card for the retailer. However, it seems that the goods were not refurbished and were new.

    You have the 'usual' rights under SOGA and to say otherwise is simply wrong.
  • Thanks Tozer :)

    No worries. This website is a source of information. People may not always agree with the position, but hey ho. They shouldn't post wrong advice.

    Oh, and its Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 if they say that the SOGA implied warranties do not apply.
