To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, with reference to the Government response to consultation on the implementation of the new subscription contracts regime, how he intends to define the point of supply for businesses producing (a) perishable or (b) custom goods.
The Government consultation on subscription contracts considered how perishable or bespoke (custom) goods should be treated, including how refunds should work if a consumer exercises their cooling-off cancellation rights.
The Government Response explains that refunds for perishable or bespoke goods will depend on whether the goods have been ‘supplied’ to the consumer during the cooling-off period. ‘Supply’ is already an established concept in consumer law. In practice, this means that if the perishable or bespoke goods have been supplied, the consumer can remain liable to pay for those goods as well as the cost of delivery.

Authorities including Trading Standards and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will be able to take enforcement action against non-compliant businesses, including issuing financial penalties. The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act also strengthens enforcement by giving the CMA direct enforcement powers.

The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 introduces new consumer protections for consumers in subscriptions. Once the new regime comes into force, businesses will be required to provide clear information before the consumer signs up, send regular reminders about renewals, and ensure it is straightforward to cancel. This includes allowing online cancellation if the consumer can sign up online. In addition, consumers will have a new 14-day renewal cooling-off period after a trial or a contract of 12 months or more auto-renews.
Government has consulted on regulatory proposals to implement the regime and the response can be found here.
