The Seller is committed to providing our Customers with the highest quality products and service. However, on rare occasions, products may be found to be faulty or defective. In such cases we offer the returns facilities described below.
9.1Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer’s documentation, all goods delivered to a UK mainland address carry a specified manufacturer’s warranty.
9.2The Seller does not sell products on a trial basis. Customers are strongly advised to check suitability and specifications of products before ordering. The Seller can only return or repair Goods where they prove to be defective and the Goods are returned for repair or replacement.
9.3 In the event that the Seller, at its discretion, agrees to accept the return for credit of unwanted products, the goods must be returned with the Seller prior written agreement within 14 days of delivery. The goods must be unopened, with the manufacturers seals intact and in perfect re-saleable condition All goods returned in these circumstances will be at the Seller’s discretion and be subject to a 25% re-stocking fee of the Seller’s sale price for the goods. Please ensure that the product(s) you have purchased are to your specification prior to breaking the manufacturers seals. This will avoid disappointment and the product(s) being rejected should you wish to return them.
9.4 No contract shall be cancelled once accepted by the Seller nor shall any Goods which are delivered in accordance with the contract be returned without prior written approval of the Seller and on terms to be determined at the absolute discretion of the Seller.
9.5 a) The Seller’s Customer Service staff will advise you of which method of delivery to use to return the products. Depending on the nature of the product purchased, we will either arrange a courier collection, or request that you return the product directly to us. If the goods are found on inspection to be defective, the cost of returning the item will be refunded to you. Authorised product returns must be sent to the address provided to you by our Customer Service staff.
b) The Seller offers a “no charge” collection, repair and delivery service (on the UK mainland only) for goods which are shown to be faulty provided that the fault is reported within 14 days of delivery. If we have arranged for a courier collection of your product, we are unable to specify the collection time, and it is your responsibility to ensure that someone will be present at the collection address when the courier arrives.
c) A Goods Returns Authorisation Number must be obtained from the Seller for each and every return so that we are able to administratively process your return: otherwise we have no means of identifying the Goods being returned. This may result in difficulties in returning monies. The Authorisation Number must be clearly shown on each parcel returned, and must be in the original manufacturer’s packaging (which shall not be defaced) complete with accessories, manuals and documentation. Except in the case of faulty Goods, returned items not complying with these requirements will be rejected.
d) The Seller cannot accept liability for packages damaged during transit. It is the Customer’s responsibility to wrap the product adequately to prevent damage.
e) Proof of postage is not proof of delivery and you are therefore strongly advised to send your package by recorded delivery, registered post or courier, and to insure the goods for their full value.
f) On receipt of the returned product, if following the testing process, the product is found to be in good working order without defect, we will return the product to you, and the carriage costs of this return will be your responsibility. Please note that if you have, in the meantime, required us to provide you with a replacement product before completion of the testing process, you will have to pay for this product also.
g) Unless otherwise stated in the manufacturer’s documentation, all goods delivered to a UK mainland address carry a specified manufacturer’s warranty. Customers who wish to make a warranty claim must comply with the manufacturer’s instructions and warranty procedure. In order to resolve your problem as quickly as possible, we will refer you to the product manufacturer who will deal directly with the return. In these instances, we will provide you with the contact information for the relevant manufacturer. If you are a consumer, this does not affect your statutory rights.
h) This warranty shall not apply if the goods have been worked upon, altered or damaged in any way by the Customer or its employees or agents, or to goods not used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. - Liability
