The Consumer Protection Act gives a warranty on all goods you purchase or lease from a merchant.
The goods must be usable
• for the purposes for which they are ordinarily used (section 37 of the Act) and
• in normal use for a reasonable length of time, which may vary according to the price paid, the terms of the contract and the conditions of use (section 38 of the Act).
