The rights provided by the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) apply regardless of whether you choose to buy a House of Diamond (HOD) Jewellery Care Plan (referred to as the "Plan"). These protections are legal guarantees automatically included in every contract for the supply of goods or services. According to the CGA, goods must meet the following requirements: they must be of satisfactory quality, suitable for the specific purpose you communicated to the supplier (unless it was unreasonable for you to rely on their expertise in selecting the goods for that purpose), match any provided description, correspond to any sample or demonstration model shown to you, be legally sellable to you, arrive on time and in acceptable condition, have spare parts and repair facilities available for a reasonable period (unless you are notified otherwise), and comply with any express guarantee provided by the manufacturer.
Similarly, under the CGA, services must be performed with reasonable care and skill, achieve the desired outcome you communicated to the business (unless it was unreasonable for you to expect that outcome based on their expertise), be completed by the agreed-upon date or within a reasonable timeframe if no specific date was agreed upon, and be supplied at the agreed price or a reasonable price if no price was agreed upon.
In addition to the protections offered by the CGA, the Plan provides ongoing services throughout its duration. You have the option to purchase a Plan for either three or ten years, starting from the date of purchase. The CGA protections come into effect from the date of purchase. The table below summarizes the differences between the CGA protections and the benefits provided by the Plan. You can find the complete terms and conditions of the Plan in the document.
