Solicitor for Consumer Rights Law in Msida

I bought a sofa from a Maltese furniture website two weeks ago and paid in full. It has not been delivered yet but I changed my mind and want to cancel the order. The company is saying that because it was custom-coloured, cancellation is not possible. Is that legal?

My smartphone stopped charging properly while still under the manufacturer’s warranty. I brought it to the authorised repair centre in Malta over two months ago and it is still ‘being assessed’. I use this phone for work and this delay is becoming a real problem. Is there a legal limit on how long a repair can take?

I received a gift voucher for a restaurant in Valletta as a present, but by the time I tried to use it, the shop said it had expired six months after issue and refused to accept it, even for partial value. Is such a short expiry period even allowed?

I joined a gym in Sliema on what I thought was a monthly rolling membership, but three months in I found out the contract actually locks me in for 24 months with a heavy exit fee. Nobody explained this clearly when I signed up at the front desk. Can I get out of it?

I paid online for tickets to an event in Malta through the organiser’s own website. The payment went through and I got a confirmation email, but the tickets themselves never arrived and now nobody replies to my emails or calls. What can I actually do to get my money back?

I signed up for a holiday timeshare package at a presentation in Malta four days ago and paid an initial deposit. I have since read the contract properly and want out. The salesperson is now saying deposits are non-refundable regardless of timing. Is that enforceable?

I had dinner with friends at a restaurant in St Julian’s and when the bill came, there was an automatic 10 percent service charge added that was never mentioned on the menu or when we ordered. Are restaurants allowed to just add this without telling customers beforehand?

I bought tickets to a concert in Malta from a ticket resale website, not the original organiser, paying a marked-up price. The event has now been officially cancelled and the original organiser is refunding face-value tickets, but the resale site is refusing to refund the markup I paid them. Do I have any claim against the resale platform?
