Consumer Tip:

Read the fine print. If buying the item requires a contract or a warranty, take some time to look it over. Be brave about it, don’t be neurotic. Contracts can have hidden fees or ‘get-out’ clauses. If what you’re buying is expensive, have a professional look it over. Some of the fine print is to protect the dealer from nuisance law suits, huckster and idiots. Some, however, are ‘sharp practice’ or downright dishonourable. If you do not recognise a fee or a stipulation in your contract, ask what it is. This way anything unnecessary can be removed.
