Frequently Asked Questions

The store says no refunds — is that final?

A return policy governs change-of-mind returns, but it does not override statutory warranty rights for goods that are defective or not as described. Raise that specifically, in writing.

They charged more than the shelf price — what are my rights?

Pricing accuracy obligations exist under provincial law, and some retailers apply a scanner-price policy. Keep the receipt and photograph the shelf price.
