Free trial offers are used by many companies to sell everything from books to CDs, from magazines to Internet access. Trial offers can be a great way to try out new products or services without making a long-term commitment.

Guarantees and Warranties
- by n/a
Informed consumers avoid many of the hazards of the marketplace. This is also true when it comes to guarantees and warrantees.
When you buy a product, always ask for the warranty or guarantee in writing. If you do not have it in writing, the seller may not help you if you run into trouble with the item.
