What remedies are available to customers?
It depends on what exactly you need a remedy for. The basic principle under The Sale of Goods Act and The Supply of Goods and Services Act is that products must be "fit for the purpose for which they were intended" and that the description of them must be accurate. An example of a product not being fit for purpose is a coat which is described as being waterproof, not actually being waterproof. If you have bought a product which is not fit for purpose for whatever reason then whomever you bought the item from is legally obliged to offer to repair a faulty item free of charge, or more realistically replace the item or offer you a refund. Even if you bought the item during a sale and the store say it's their policy not to offer refunds on items bought in a sale - your statutory rights mean that the store is still legally obliged to offer you a replacement or refund if the item was faulty (except perhaps if it says "sold as seen" on the label) or if it did not match its description. You do not even need a receipt if it is clear where you purchased the product - e.g. a TESCO branded product - TESCO would have to replace or refund without a receipt. But if you do not have a receipt for a product that could have been purchased in numerous different shops then you cannot expect the store you bought it from to take responsibility for it, unless you can show evidence in the form of a debit/credit card transaction.
Is your policy to give a 30 day period in which you can get a refund if the item goes on sale?
If this is the stated policy of the merchant, then it must be done. Any stated policy is simply good customer relations. Legally, the store does not have to refund your money if the item goes on sale.
If you buy an item of clothing on sale and the item then breaks can you return it?
first of all, u can never return anything that's on sale. second of all, u can never return ANYTHING that's broken. Edit: The answer above is completely untrue. Weather an item is bought in a sale or at full price you have the same rights. According to the sale of goods act any item bought must be fit for purpose. if you wear an item a few times and it breaks how can it possibly be fit for purpose? and therefore you can get a full refund as long as it is within a reasonable amount of time, usually 3 - 4 weeks. It really annoys me in shops when they tell me i can't return an item because its on sale!

If a receipt does not state an electronics device as nonrefundable does the store have to give a refund?
The answer to this depends on the state and the country. All have slightly different rules. However, most legal systems work on the basis that a sale is final. Once you have made a purchase, the seller is not obliged to accept the item back and make a refund. The fact that many retailers allow customers to return goods is for goodwill purposes and not because they are required to do so. There are certain cases where the retailer may be required to offer a refund but this will depend on where the sale has taken place. In the event that the product is faulty, there is often a right to obtain a refund. The specific requirements vary between states and between countries so no more detail can be offered in this answer. The best starting point is to consult your local consumer rights group or a search on the Internet for rights in your area.
