S.L. 378.17 Art. 8Formal requirements for off-premises contracts.

(1) With respect to off-premises contracts, the trader shall give the information provided for in regulation 5(1) to the consumer on paper or, if the consumer agrees, on another durable medium. Any such information shall be legible and in plain, intelligible language.

(2) The trader shall provide the consumer with a copy of the signed contract or the confirmation of the contract on paper or, if the consumer agrees, on another durable medium, including, where applicable, the confirmation of the prior express consent and acknowledgement of the consumer in accordance with regulation 18(m).

(3) Where a consumer wants the performance of services, or the supply of water, gas or electricity, where they are not put up for sale in a limited volume or set quantity, to begin during the withdrawal period provided for in regulation 10(2), and the contract places the consumer under an obligation to pay, the trader shall require that the consumer make such an express request on a durable medium and request the consumer to acknowledge that, once the contract has been fully performed by the trader, the consumer will no longer have the right of withdrawal.
