Some clearance merchandise is non-returnable at some stores, as the intent is of course to get rid of the items. This is especially the case with liquidation and store-closing sales. However, in many jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom and the European Union, consumers retain their usual rights during a sale, such as the right to return faulty goods (under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 in the UK and Directive (EU) 2019/771 in the EU) and the right to return goods granted by the Distance Selling Regulations in the UK and Directive 2011/83/EU in the EU.
