    Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977

    1977 CHAPTER 50

    An Act to impose further limits on the extent to which under the law of England and Wales and Northern Ireland civil liability for breach of contract, of for negligence or other breach of duty, can be avoided by means of contract terms and otherwise, and under the law of Scotland civil liability can be avoided by means of contract terms.

    Section: 3 Liability arising in contract.
    (1)This section applies as between contracting parties where one of them deals as consumer or on the other’s written standard terms of business.
    (2)As against that party, the other cannot by reference to any contract term—
    (a)when himself in breach of contract, exclude or restrict any liability of his in respect of the breach; or
    (b)claim to be entitled—
    (i)to render a contractual performance substantially different from that which was reasonably expected of him, or
    (ii)in respect of the whole or any part of his contractual obligation, to render no performance at all,
    except in so far as (in any of the cases mentioned above in this subsection) the contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness.
    Section11: The “reasonableness” test.
    (3)In relation to a notice (not being a notice having contractual effect), the requirement of reasonableness under this Act is that it should be fair and reasonable to allow reliance on it, having regard to all the circumstances obtaining when the liability arose or (but for the notice) would have arisen.

    (4)Where by reference to a contract term or notice a person seeks to restrict liability to a specified sum of money, and the question arises (under this or any other Act) whether the term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness, regard shall be had in particular (but without prejudice to subsection (2) above in the case of contract terms) to—
    (a)the resources which he could expect to be available to him for the purpose of meeting the liability should it arise; and
    (b)how far it was open to him to cover himself by insurance.
    (5)lt is for those claiming that a contract term or notice satisfies the requirement of reasonableness to show that it does.

    I have posted some of this ACT to show that Tesco is adding Unfair Terms to the contract they have made with consumers already given a DTD voucher back over the new £20 limit. They should have the resources to honor the vouchers and can not unreasonably change all their term to their favour.

    The Roasting Tin DTD is a prime example of how £20 is not a fair limit.

    2 Roasting tins Tesco £20 ASDA £8, Difference £12 x2 = £24
    TESCO EVERY LITTLE change to the t&cs HELPS

    I find it interesting that the original Ts & Cs only said they have the right to withdraw the offer at any time and yet they have altered them now to also say they have the right to alter them at any time - I don't know anything about legalities etc but adding that as an alteration (when alterations aren't already allowed) seems wrong to me

    I guess they could argue that they withdrew the original price check offer momentarily before replacing it with a brand new one which had different conditions but its all starting to sound a bit daft

    Can't believe I've only just came across this :beer:
    Anyway, can someone point me in the right direction for where I check the prices, I have both asda and tesco websites open and a few items cheaper in asda, is this all I need to check with or do I need to check on the tesco price check website, just that when I follow link on 1st page it just directs me direct to the page where you input your receipt.
    Many Thanks

    Thanks, but not sure how i can be charged with fraud, as i say i have printed out the T&Cs from the time i submitted my receipt and it clearly states the maximum voucher limit is £100, i will also print off the copy of the receipt where that shows how much i have been overcharged.

    At the moment i'm annoyed to the point i'd be willing to fight this and confident enough that i have the law on my side.

    A counterfeit is an imitation, usually one that is made with the intent of fraudulently passing it off as genuine. Counterfeit products are often produced with the intent to take advantage of the superior value of the imitated product. The word counterfeit frequently describes both the forgeries of currency and documents, as well as the imitations of works of art, clothing, software, pharmaceuticals, watches, electronics and company logos and brands. In the case of goods, it results in patent infringement or trademark infringement. Additionally, it is fairly common in big cities for would-be criminals to sell counterfeit illegal drugs, such as a bag of pure baking soda sold as cocaine or heroin, or a bag of oregano sold as marijuana. This takes advantage of the extremely high prices of illicit drugs and the relatively low prices of common materials such as baking soda and oregano, as well as taking advantage of the similarity in appearances that certain house-hold items share with certain illicit drugs.

    Tell me how you are not counterfeiting the real voucher
