CP 103.01 Offers Which are Not Bona Fide

The solicitation of consumers to purchase goods or services when the solicitation is not a bona fide effort to sell the advertised goods or services constitutes an unfair and deceptive trade act and practice in commerce under 9 V.S.A. Section 2453(a).

(a) A solicitation is not bona fide when the seller or solicitor uses a statement or illustration in any advertisement which would create in the mind of a reasonable consumer a false impression of the grade, quality, quantity, make, value, model year, size, color, usability or origin of the goods or services offered or which otherwise misrepresents the goods or services in such a manner that, on subsequent disclosure or discovery of the true facts, the consumer may be switched from the advertised goods or services to other goods or services.
