The smart customer and things you can do to not get screwed on products.

1. THE SMART CUSTOMER

2. THE SMART CUSTOMER
There are a lot of
products out there
and we need to
know which ones are
the right ones to buy.

3. THE SMART CUSTOMER
If we don’t know which
ones to buy we may be
getting a cheap product
or someone might try to be
tricking us. That is why we
have “Consumer Rights”.

4. THE SMART CUSTOMER
What are Consumer
Rights Mr. Adam?
Well I am glad you
asked kids.

5. THE SMART CUSTOMER
These are rights that we
as consumers have just
in case a good is not
what it is supposed to
be.

6. THE SMART CUSTOMER
First of all the good must
be satisfactory as
described. If the good is
a blue coat it shouldn’t
be a red coat.

7. THE SMART CUSTOMER
So you should be
happy with your
purchase and not want
to return it.

8. THE SMART CUSTOMER
The good must also
work and last a
reasonable amount of
time. In other words it
shouldn’t break after
one hour of use.

10. 1. RESEARCH
Look different products
and check out the
prices. Can you afford
the item you want?

11. 1. RESEARCH
Afford means to have
enough money to buy
an item.

brands and models.
Brands and models are
the different types of
products available.

14. 2. READ THE FINE
PRINT
Anytime you agree to
the terms and
conditions of something
you have to sign a
contract.

15. 2. READ THE FINE
PRINT
A contract is a promise
between you and the
company you have the
contract with.

16. 2. READ THE FINE
PRINT
The fine print is a set of
rules that you and the
company share.

17. 2. READ THE FINE
PRINT
Make sure to read the
fine print so you know
exactly what is
expected of you and
what to expect from
the company.

18. 3. KEEP YOUR
RECEIPTS
A receipt is a piece of
paper saying you
bought the item. If the
item breaks or you want
to return it, the receipt
allows you to do so.

20. 4. IF IT IS TOO GOOD
TO BE TRUE IT
PROBABLY IS.
If there is a deal on an
item or you can get
something for
unbelievably cheap it’s
probably not true.

22. 4. IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO
BE TRUE IT PROBABLY
IS.
There is always a catch
or something you have
to do so remember to
think about these four
things when buying
