The Cyprus Consumer Association gives advice to consumers on what to look out for during the summer sales.
Specifically, according to the announcement, consumers before buying should research the product they are interested in.
"A large discount rate does not necessarily mean a lower final price. The criterion for the purchase should be the final price of the purchase and not the discount rate. The display of a dual price, i.e. the original price (which is usually crossed out) and the new price, is mandatory. However, the seller reserves the right to display only the discount rate, but this should be perfectly understandable and clear to the ordinary consumer," it says.
The Cyprus Consumer Association states, in addition, that it is possible[/B] to indicate on sale products that there are no changes
"Pay particular attention to shops that advertise large discount percentages. This does not mean that other items will have the same discount rate. Find out about the return policy applied by the business. Ask for proof of purchase and keep it, as this is the only way to prove the purchase," the statement added.
Finally, the Cyprus Consumer Association states that if the consumer becomes aware that there may be misleading information or violations of the Consumer Rights Law, he/she may contact the Competent Authority which is the Consumer Protection Service, telephone 1429 or the Cyprus Consumer Association at 22516112.
