Part 4: Consumer rights and disputes General and miscellaneous provisions Section 275: Application of this Chapter
This section specifies that if a consumer and trader choose the law of any other country to govern their contract, but the contract has a close connection to the UK, this chapter will apply.
	Subsection (3) provides that Chapter 2 does not apply to contracts entered into before section 254 comes into force.
	Subsection (4) sets out that subsection (5) and (6) provide how the Chapter applies to a contract that was once an excluded contract to the Chapter but subsequently ceases to be.
	Subsection (5) to (8) modify the application of the Chapter to these contracts and modify duties on traders that have entered into a contract that was once an excluded contract but subsequently ceases to be.
	Subsection (5), paragraph (a) disapplies the requirement for traders to have to send ‘key’ and ‘full’ pre-contract information to consumers in line with sections 256 and 257. Instead, traders must send this information in line with subsections (6), (7) and (8). Failure to provide this information in line with subsections (6) to (8) would be considered a breach of an implied term (see subsection (5), paragraph (d) for the modifications to the implied terms provisions at section 262).
	Subsection (5), paragraph (b) disapplies the requirement for a trader to send a reminder notice during a concessionary period. Instead, a trader must follow all other reminder notice obligations beginning with the ‘relevant day’. The ‘relevant day’ would be the day the contract ceases to be an excluded contract.
	Subsection (5), paragraph (e) disapplies the consumer’s right to cancel a subscription during the initial cooling -off period.
	Subsection (6) requires a trader to give ‘key’ and ‘full’ pre-contract information, in line with Schedule 23, and subject to the modifications in subsection (7), within a reasonable period of the ‘relevant day’ (when the contract ceases to be an excluded contract), and in any case within 12 months from that day.
	Subsection (7) removes the requirement for traders to give information related to the initial cooling off period or information relating to a concessionary period if the concessionary period has ended before the contract ceased to be an excluded contract.
	Subsection (8) clarifies that the information requirements set out in subsection (6) apply regardless of whether any of this information has been given to a consumer before the contract ceased to be excluded.
