6. Answers Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Consumer Rights Act – a
set of rules and requirements for traders selling over the internet or
otherwise at a distance (such as via the telephone) designed to protect
consumers.
Brand snobbery – when people are prepared to spend more on something because it has a certain brand name, rather than buy a cheaper alternative that will serve its purpose just as well but does not have the name.
Value Added Tax – a government tax levied on sales of most goods and services.
Teleshopping – shopping from a company that promotes its products
on a dedicated TV channel, and sells them over the phone or online.
Competition and Markets Authority – a government department
responsible for promoting competition for the benefit of consumers. It took over many of the responsibilities of the Office of Fair Trading (which closed in 2014).
Value for money – getting the best goods for the money available.
