Newfoundland and Labrador's Department of Government Services and Lands oversees the province's consumer protection laws and provides consumer information and advice on-line.

Under Newfoundland and Labrador's Direct Sellers Act, any firm that solicits business directly from consumers (i.e., contacts you first), either in person or electronically, must be licensed and bonded. Direct sellers must also provide a written contract for any sale over $100 and consumers are provided with a cooling-off period after signing such a contract.
