I have a relative that is a lawyer (contract law) he had a flight pre-booked, pre-paid on Air Canada. When he arrived to check in he was told that he’d been bumped. He asked to speak to the supervisor. He told them (in legal speak) that they were in violation of the contract between him and their airline and were open to a law suit for not fulfilling their end of the contract. After a moment or two the supervisor handed him his boarding pass and told him to have a good flight.
He’s taught me quite a bit of law. An example. I bought a video card at K-Mart and when I got home and opened it, I realized that I’d bought the wrong card. They don’t allow opened computer parts to be returned, but that info is printed on the back of the sales slip. My relative told me that a store CANNOT add to a contract after they’ve taken your money. They have to tell you that BEFORE they take your money. I went back to the store to exchange the card and was told no, you opened the box.
I then asked to speak to the manager of the store and told him that it was illegal to add to a contract once they’d taken my money. Putting a ‘No returns on open computer items’ on the back of the sales slip is adding to a legal contract. After listening to the manager whine the blues, they took the card back and gave me the one that I’d wanted.
Some time later they had a huge sign at the checkouts saying exactly what it said on the back of the sales slip!
Ann is right, she should have received what she paid for.
Your relative is fucking stupid. All stores have return policies. It being printed on the back of your receipt is a courtesy. They do not have to tell you what their return policy is. You as the consumer are responsible for being aware of what said policy is.
You are one of the customers we all tell horror stories about. Special snowflakes.
In your legal opinion he’s ‘fucking stupid’? (It is a legal opinion isn’t it; please correct me if I’m in error here.) Just for our edification, and heaven knows I’m not prying, from which university did you receive your law degree again, I must have missed that post? If you don’t want to divulge that info I totally understand. I will admit, I am in awe, absolute awe of your keen knowledge of Canadian Contract Law.
I asked him about drawing up contracts and (I just picked some random words to test him) if he knew the difference between using ‘
then’ and ‘
than’ in a contract. His answer was, well I guess his answer would be rather obvious.
He also has a law degree; he doesn’t ‘
pretend’ to have a degree. Of course we all know that no one would ‘
pretend’ to have a degree when they don’t actually have one.... now would they?
You are one of the customers we all tell horror stories about.
Of course I am!
Why would a consumer want to know their rights under the law when companies are loving; caring and their main concern isn’t making huge profits, but being Mr. Goodwrench.
Special snowflakes
I'm sorry, but I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for a Libtard from Libtardville, USA.
