Consumers

A consumer is a person who purchases goods or services for personal use.

In Maryland, a consumer is generally defined as an individual who buys goods or services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. This definition is in line with the Maryland Consumer Protection Act, which aims to protect the rights of consumers and ensure fair and honest practices in trade and commerce. The Act prohibits deceptive and unfair trade practices and provides remedies for consumers who have been subjected to such practices. It covers a wide range of consumer transactions, including the sale of goods and services, consumer credit, franchises, and health club memberships, among others. Consumers in Maryland have the right to seek redress through the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office, which enforces the Act, and they may also have the right to file a private lawsuit for violations of the Act.
