Description of campaign:
As many consumers are not aware or insufficiently aware of their rights when it comes to doorstep selling, the Netherlands Consumer Authority had launched an awareness campaign in march 2010. As part of this campaign the Netherlands Consumer Authority developed the DeurWijzer: a resource for consumers who are affected by doorstep selling. The aim of this DeurWijzer is to have it on hand when the doorstep seller comes calling. This enables the consumer to verify whether the doorstep seller is abiding the rules. The DeurWijzer gives tips as to how the consumer can discover the intentions of the doorstep seller an what his rights as a consumer are.
