Am I able to use a sign stating no refunds. - UK only? -

Hi, I run a cosmetics business, and i know all my products are perfect, I check them all before they go out. However, there are a few women who are bringing back products. And even because they purchased the incorrect colour or brand (even though i helped them for half and hour to fnd their perfect shade) Am i legally allowed to use a sign stating no refunds, and how should it be worded?

Well you can put up such a sign if you want a visit from Trading Standards!People are only entitled to return items if they are faulty, same as with any other product. They are not entitled to refunds if they change their mind.I suggest you contact trading standards and they will tell you how to word a sign making it clear you will not refund if people change their minds.You need to be sure that the sign does not exclude legal rights to return in the event of goods being faulty.

You can state that for hygiene reasons, you will not refund products once the seal has been broken.However, you are not even obliged to give a refund if someone has just changed their mind. (Unless they bought it by mail order).If the product is faulty or not fit for purpose, they are entitled to a refund under the Sale of Goods Act 1979.I would suggest that your notice should say Thank you for shopping with us. Before you buy, please note that we do not refund products because you have simply changed your mind, or no longer need the items you have purchased. This does not affect your statutory rights.

it is a statutory right in uk for 30 days to return even without receipt, I am sorry but that s the way it is for retailers, just look at argos for example: it s full of S-wholes returning stuff on a daily basis.. people just buy then repent and change their mindsonly underwear, sex toys, lipsticks, etc cannot be refunded due to hygiene reasons, and there you have the law backing you upyou could ask if possible to have a sign stating that no refunds will be given on opened items, perhaps sealing each cosmetic in an individual plastic wrapping with a sealor change country/business..

I don t know but on GMTV the other day Martin Lewis was talking about refunds and the big shops have a 28 day refund and must have a sign to say so but legally when someone buys something you do not have to give them a refund unless it is faulty, you will probably find it on the GMTV website but the shops I buy makeup in tell you that for hygiene reasons make up cannot be returned, I would presume you could have a No Refund Policy displayed.

if you buy make up from high street stores and shpos etc they will not exchange or refund products even if theyre still sealed. i dont see why you cannot do the same.just make a sign which would read something like .... make up purchases are NOT covered by the current refund/exchange policy in this shop, due to health and safety reasons. please be aware of this before you buy .

The main laws that apply here are - Sale of Goods Act 1979. Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994. The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002. They all say the same kind of thing, just worded slightly differently.It all depends on why they are bringing them back.If they are bringing them back because of things such as wrong brand or no longer like the colour etc then legally they have no recourse - legally the point is caveat emptor otherwise known as, let the buyer beware . If you are being completely honest with them when they are purchasing it and not lying (like saying its a different brand to what it actually is), then they have no legal recourse. Many stores offer a credit note policy in this case, mainly for good customer relations, but you do not have to refund them.As for the no refunds sign - put simply DON T. Its a blanket measure which isn t appropriate. By saying that you are saying you will not refund if a product is faulty. The Sale Of Goods Acts say that if a product is not fit for the purpose it was bought for, i.e. if the product doesn t work, or if the product isn t as described (the box says red lipstick, but in the box its black) and if you claim within a reasonable time. Most people say that reasonable time is within 28 days, but that varies from product to product. For example returns on bananas would be pretty useless at 28 days after purchase.If you do want to put up some sort of disclaimer, I d suggest going to one of the bigger stores such as Matalan/Next etc and looking near their customer service point. They generally have some sort of sign there explaining the law (which should sound something similar to what I said above) and simply copy what they say and word it to how you want.Hope this helpsAnd also as a side note, you can ask for proof of purchase from the buyer if they have asked for a refund, but it doesnt necessarily have to be a reciept.

What are some good ways to make some money? -

Nothing too elaborate please, just a couple of teens trying to earn some money for a school fundraiser.Do you have any good ideas?Please no baby-sitting, car wash, yard work etc. ideas. And it doesn t have to be like a stand at my school or anything, I just have to show them the profit.Thank you!

I m not sure how crafty you are, but you could try to make and sell jewelry. You can buy beads and other supplies at any craft store, and I m sure you could even find some on sale. You can also buy a book to get you started on beading (or I bet there s free instructions available online). With the holidays coming up, people might be interested in buying necklaces, bracelets, and earrings as gifts. If the jewelry looks attractive and well-made, you could sell it to family members, neighbors, or students at your school.Another idea (if your school does not have policies against it) would be to buy candy bars in bulk and sell them at a profit to students during your lunch break. Since the weather is turning colder, perhaps you could even set up a hot chocolate stand! You could do this at lunch time or perhaps at a school football game. You d just need cups, hot chocolate packets, and plenty of hot water. Maybe your school cafeteria (or church or some other organization you or your parents belong to) has those large hot water dispensers used by caterers -- perhaps they d let you borrow them.Good luck!

well my friend did this. get some money to start. like 30$. buy lots of popular candy. if it cost 1.00$ change the price to 1.50$. go door to door and say im selling candy for a fundraiser for my .. team. then they wil buy the candy giving you a 1.00 profit every 2 candies. at the end you will have 45$. you can keep going untill you have alot you can also change the price to how you want it. whatever. but the higher the price of the candy the more profit but less of a chance people will buy

you will need a work permit if you are a minor, the best place to start is with your school s guidance office. If you don t have a work permit, you ll need one. Quite often the counselors can tell you what local employers will hire teens but more realistically they will know of any OPEN job opportunities.thanks bye tc

I would do themes like a middle eastern girls night out pass out flyers and your friends can invite friends, moms, sisters, and so on get a Henna kit and leave a big tip jar out. Good luck!

How to lay out a business ledger? -

I ve recently set up a part time, business. I sell items on ebay do carpentry joinery on weekends etc. I ve recently purchased a ledger. It has all lined sections etc but no literature like cash , expenses etc at the top. What is the best way to lay it out. Also what paperwork do i need to keep with the selling on ebay. thanks.

You need to keep a ledger (or cash book as they are more often called) for both businesses - you cannot get the two mixed up as they are different.You could head the sections on the income side: date, name of client/customer or item sold, whether cash or cheque, then total.On the expenditure side you need to make your headings: date, description, cheque no, total and then analyse across with headings such as purchases, materials, travel, packaging, - whatever works for the businesses. Total each collumn at the end of every month and reconcile to the bank accounts. Thsi will make it easier for your accountant at the end of the year.You need to keep all paperwork for all income and expenditure - invoices and recipts, paypal statements and bank statements.

Get 85 dollars real quick maybe like a few days, or a good way to get some money at all im 16? -

I need 85 dollars, what could i do, not online surveys cause i tried it for like 6 hours and they never gave me any of those points they talked about.

Ask a parent or relative to loan you the money and get a job to pay them back. Lots of times at your age there are lots of things going on-school, homework, sports, and other activities so a regular job doesn t make sense. If you are just looking to earn some quick cash ask the neighbors, family members, etc., if they need their lawn mowed ...$20 /week. Ask your neighbors/family if they need leaves raked or other yard clean up ... $20 per week. You could also pet sit, set their garbage and recycling out for them weekly, etc. In any given neighborhood there will always be a few older couples. To stay independent they need help with the little things.You would be doing a good deed and making money at the same time!If you just get 4 houses in easy walking or cycling distance of your house you can pick up a very easy $80 to $100 bucks a week for a very little work.No application, no scheduling issues, no taxes ... no problem!Good luck.

Need legal advice as for a general contractor job? -

I did a job for a client, sealing a roof of a storage place. Although I sealed it all , the water leaked somehow and the client says it is my fault. Around the roof there are kind of walls , which is all rotten, and I know the leak is from the walls down tot he floor. The walls were not part of my job, I have not sealed them , and they are all rotten. I did just the roof.I did not have any signed contract with him , did not give him any warranty. I know it is from the walls, I sealed it all properly and the walls need to be redone. It is a wood walls around it. But he says it is my responsibility.Can he sue me for that? If I have nothing in writing or warranty can he still do something?Thanks.

He can sue the question is can he win. My guess is that without a written contract specifying exactly what you were doing and what your liability was he stands a good chance of winning. I know of a similar case where the contractor claimed he was hired to do one thing and the homeowner sued for damages due to something else. The customer claimed he hired the contractor to fix some leaks and the house still leaked when the contractor finished. The homeowner said he didn t have the expertise to know where the leak was coming from. If the house needed other repairs the contractor should have told him what needed to be done before starting the job. The judge ruled in the homeowners favor. The contractor did get paid for most of the work that was done because there was no dispute that the work was done properly.
