General Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Consumer Genie.  This site is owned and operated by Joanne Lezemore who is committed to informing both consumers of their rights in respects of goods and services that they have paid for, and also businesses to ensure that they are fully aware of their rights and obligations when providing goods and services.

BY USING THIS SITE YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

These terms and conditions may be changed without notice and it is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of them by reading them on a regular basis. “We” means Joanne Lezemore and any employee of J L Lezemore and/or Consumer Genie.

How Can Consumer Genie Help

The site provides information on all aspects of consumer law and will be regularly updated.  If you cannot find the answer to your question you may wish to consider posting a question on the Consumer Genie forum, or using the pay as you go email advice request or interactive advice service. Consumer Genie will only post information relating to consumers in respect of goods and services that you purchase. A consumer is someone who pays for personal goods and services for their own personal use from someone acting in the course of a business. You act in a course of business if you sell goods or provide services on a fairly regular basis.  This can mean you are acting in the course of a business, for example, if you sell goods on e-bay. The rights relating to businesses, sellers and purchases from private individuals can be very different and therefore if you belong to one of these categories the advice given on this site will not be relevant to you for the most part and you should seek independent legal  advice.

Consumer Genie Cannot Help When….

Consumer Genie is not relevant if you are a business, a seller of goods or provide services, or you have purchased goods from a private individual. Consumer Genie does not hold itself out to have all relevant laws on this website but is constantly being updated. Consumer Genie may at its discretion respond to postings on the forum but is not bound to. We will not respond to any specific questions or requests for help unless that request is made through the pay as you go portals.
