Finally, I refer to guarantees. When a consumer purchases a piece of equipment, say a television, microwave or fridge, often the shop will suggest that they might like to purchase additional warranty. What is the legality on that and its value? Is there anything to be gained by that because there is already a lot of built-in protections in the legislation if something goes wrong?
