„Be an informed consumer” is the title of a lecture prepared for pur seniors and volunteers by Katarzyna Mazur, Zamość’s Consumer Advocate. The listeners were informed about different types of situations in which they could use the Advocate’s aid, such as problems with returning goods, service failure, guarantee or warranty. Ms. Mazur stressed that we should always remember about our rights while shopping or signing all kinds of contracts. As consumers, we have a right to withdraw from an agreement during a specified period of time. We should also seek professional aid in case of problems.
