Does The Australian Consumer Law Apply To My Business?

One of my favourite topics to talk about is the Australian Consumer Law and it’s a topic that a lot of small business owners ask me about. What exactly is it and does it apply to me? So, today I’m demystifying the Australian Consumer Law because it’s very likely that you’re asking some similar questions. In this episode, I discuss what the Consumer Law is and why it’s absolutely vital that you do everything necessary to comply with this law. Otherwise, should someone request a refund, cancellation, or worse - damages, you’ll be left wide open with no leg to stand on and unable to defend yourself. I explain how to go about making sure that your business complies with the Australian Consumer Law, particularly by looking at your legal documents, systems and processes and ensuring that you issue your terms and conditions at the right time in the right way. Regardless of what type of business you have, if you offer products or services to consumers within Australia, the Australian Consumer Law applies to you. I discuss some of the misconceptions surrounding this law and touch on what can happen if your business does not comply. I also talk about how compliance is for the benefit of both the consumer and you as a business owner. Knowing that you have met your legal obligations under the Australian Consumer Law will leave you in a position of strength, should the worst case scenario happen. It does happen but my hope is that it won’t happen to you if you’ve been listening to this podcast and making sure your legal documents and processes are in order. LINKS:Get your copy of my Annual Legal Checklist hereJoin The Legally Empowered Entrepreneur Masterclass Series hereWebsite:tmsolicitor.com.auInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/tmsolicitor/Book a Strategy Session with me here
