The Prince Edward Island Consumer, Corporate and Insurance Division of the Office of the Attorney General administers PEI's Business Practices Act, Consumer Protection Act and Direct Sellers Act.

The Division provides advice on making a consumer complaint as well as information on licensing requirements for direct sellers.

Under PEI'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.
