Manitoba boosts protections for direct sellers under new act
Manitoba’s Consumer Protection Act changes expand consumer rights with direct sellers. Buyers gain 10 day cancellation, one year to cancel if licensure or delivery fails, and written contracts must show vendor and consumer names, addresses, item description, delivery date and payment terms. The harmonized rules align with national trade commitments and aim to ease multi region operations.
