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

In favor of the dealer
In favor of the consumer
Based on the most recent market trends
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.
