    free of charge, although neither you nor we are under any obligation to participate. This paragraph 2
    only applies to you if you are a “consumer”. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 defines a consumer
    as an individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside that individual’s trade,
    business, craft, or profession.
