Commentary on Sections

Part 1: Consumer Contracts for Goods, Digital Content and Services

Chapter 2: Goods
What statutory rights are there under a goods contract?
Section 16: Goods not conforming to contract if digital content does not conform

79.Section 16 makes clear that special rules also apply where goods and digital content are supplied together in one product (e.g. where digital content is supplied on a disk). In that case, section 16 makes clear that if the digital content rights are not met then this will mean the goods are substandard and the consumer has the right to the full suite of goods remedies (including the short-term right to reject).
