What consumer rights do I have when entering a contract?

In Kansas, consumers have specific rights when entering into a contract. These rights are established by the Kansas Consumer Protection Act and other consumer laws and are designed to protect consumers from potential abuses by businesses. Generally, when entering into a contract, consumers have the right to: • Know what the contract terms are and to be able to review them before signing. • Receive a final copy of the contract after signing. • Receive full disclosure of all terms and conditions associated with the contract. • Receive a fair price for goods and services that are spelled out in the agreement. • That no false or misleading statements are made by the seller to solicit the consumer to enter the agreement. • Have a fee agreement that is in writing for services rendered. • Receive a full refund of their money if the goods or services are not delivered as promised. • Have a cooling-off period—typically three days— where a consumer can cancel a contract without penalty. • Have access to an effective dispute resolution process that allows the consumer to seek a resolution if they are dissatisfied with the agreement. Consumers should be aware of their rights when it comes to entering into a contract and should always read a contract thoroughly before signing. If any of the rights listed above are not outlined in a contract, the consumer should seek legal advice before signing.
