If you need any further help, you should instruct a solicitor. Priya – there are too many variables here for me to offer succinct guidance.

In addition, you may have rights under sale of goods legislation.

As far as I'm aware there isn't any judicial authority on the question of when the performance of a service begins within the meaning of the Regs. However, I think it's safe to say that a contract doesn't necessarily begin being performed when the service provider says it begins! There must be some act by or on behalf of the service provider. Does the customer have to "receive" (or start receiving) the service for it to commence? Probably not, although this may depend upon the particular circumstances. Hi David
