Introduction to Implied Guarantees

These are terms that are implied by statute into consumer transactions. These terms cannot be excluded by parties to a consumer contract. The definition of a consumer, the nature of transactions that are covered and specific guarantees implied into consumer contracts (sale of goods and supply of services) under the Australian Consumer Law Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) are discussed.
