13. SUMMARY OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ACCORDING TO THE SALE OF GOODS ACT 1979
    Buyers are entitled to goods of satisfactory quality, taking account of any description, the price and other relevant circumstances. If an item has a fault that is present at the time of sale (sometimes referred to as an "inherent" fault), the consumer can complain once it is discovered.
    But buyers cannot expect a legal remedy in respect of:
    • Fair wear and tear:
      In the case of Field Hockey sticks, this would include;
      1. The head wearing down due to use on synthetic pitches such as sand and water based artificial turf,
      2. Pitting on and/or around the head,
      3. Damage to decals through normal play.
      In the case of Cricket bats, this would include;
      1. Flaking/facial cracks to the blade,
      2. Loss of power/sweet spot,
      3. Handle breakage.
    • Misuse or accidental damage
      In the case of Field Hockey sticks, this would include;
      1. Any damage caused as a direct result of a stick collision,
      2. Any damage caused by striking the ball with any area other than the front, flat part of the head. i.e. blading or performing the ‘Argentinean backhand’ shot.
      3. Lack of maintenance including the application of resins such as stick magic and the regular application of stick tape.
      In the case of Cricket bats, this would include;
      1. Any damage due to lack of preparation including; sufficient knocking-in and the application of linseed oil, prior to use.
      2. Any damage caused as the direct result of a badly mis-timed shot such as playing a Yorker or a thick edge.
      3. Lack of maintenance including regular inspections of the toe, edges and blade for signs of cracking or weather damage, the application of fibreglass tape to areas that are flaking or showing signs of facial cracks.
    • If they decide they no longer want the item.
    Similarly, buyers cannot expect a legal remedy where goods have faults that they knew about before the sale or that should have been evident on reasonable inspection.
    Remedies
    If a product that was faulty at the time of sale is returned to the retailer, the buyer is legally entitled to:
    • A full refund, if this is within a reasonable time of the sale ("reasonable time" is not defined in law but as a reasonable guide is considered to be within 4 weeks of receipt of goods – This guideline was advised by ‘Trading Standards’)
    • A reasonable amount of compensation
    Additional rights for consumers
    Alternatively, consumers can choose to request instead:
    • A repair or replacement. The retailer can decline either of these if he can show that they are disproportionately costly in comparison with the alternative. If neither repair nor replacement is realistically possible, consumers can request instead:
    • A partial or full refund, depending on what is reasonable in the circumstances.
    It may be the case that a full refund is not the reasonable option because the consumer will have enjoyed some benefit from the goods before the problem appeared. This needs to be taken into account before a reasonable partial refund can be assessed – In the case of hockey sticks where their expected life is one season (9 months), any refund offered would take into account the age of the stick based on their expected life. In the case of cricket bats where their expected life is two seasons (18 months), any refund offered would take into account the age of the bat based on their expected life.
