How are ambiguities in a consumer contract interpreted under the CPA?

  1. In favor of the dealer

  2. In favor of the consumer

  3. Based on the most recent market trends

  4. Ambiguities are disregarded

The correct answer is: In favor of the consumer

Under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), ambiguities in a consumer contract are interpreted in favor of the consumer. This is to ensure that the consumer is not disadvantaged by any unclear or unfair clauses in the contract. Option A is incorrect because the CPA is designed to protect the rights of consumers, not dealers. Option C is also incorrect because market trends do not dictate how ambiguities are interpreted under the CPA. Option D is incorrect because ambiguities cannot be disregarded in a consumer contract, as they may have a significant impact on the consumer's rights and obligations.
