Document background
The Shopping Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for retail transactions in Ireland, establishing the legal relationship between retailers and their customers. This document is essential for any business engaged in selling goods or services to consumers or other businesses in Ireland, whether through physical stores, online platforms, or both. The agreement must comply with Irish consumer protection laws, including the Consumer Protection Act 2007 and the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980, as well as relevant EU regulations. It covers crucial aspects such as product ordering, pricing, payment terms, delivery, returns, warranties, and data protection. The Shopping Agreement is particularly important in the current retail landscape where multi-channel shopping experiences require clear and comprehensive terms that protect both the retailer's interests and consumer rights.
