KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

As a fashion consumer in the Philippines — especially in online spaces — you are protected under the law.

Under Republic Act No. 7394
(Consumer Act of the Philippines)​

  • Right to Accurate Information
    Products must reflect honest descriptions — especially regarding sizes, quality, and visuals.

  • Right to Be Protected from Deceptive Ads
    It is illegal for brands to mislead you with altered photos, false claims like “one size fits all,” or misrepresentative models. 📌 Refer to Articles 50 & 52 — these safeguard you from false, deceptive, and misleading practices.

  • Right to Redress
    If you receive a product that doesn’t meet advertised claims, you can demand a refund, replacement, or repair.

Under Republic Act No. 8792
(E-Commerce Act of 2000)

  • Your online transactions are protected by law.
    All e-commerce platforms are legally bound to uphold consumer rights just like physical stores.

  • Digital Receipts & Records
    You have the right to secure verifiable digital proof of transactions — including emails, chat logs, and order summaries.

  • Legal Accountability
    Online sellers and platforms can be held liable for fraudulent marketing or misrepresentation.
