Brief difference between the Sale of Goods Act and Supply of Goods and Services Act
The main difference between the Sale of Goods Act and the Supply of Goods and services act is:
- Sales of Goods Act — specifies that goods provided for sale must be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for the purpose so this covers the PRODUCT only.
- Supply of Goods and Services Act — details that if a consumer enters into a contract for the supply of goods or services they must be supplied with reasonable care and skill within a reasonable time and at a reasonable charge. This covers the PRODUCT and the SERVICE supplied under contract.
Let’s take a look at each of them in more detail and how they pertain to the telecoms/mobile phone market i.e. Goods or services provided by British Telecom (BT), Vodafone or O2.
