The Goods must be returned in accordance with our standard authorisation procedure (please contact us on 01202 650900 or [email protected] for details). Without limitation, you must take reasonable care of the Goods in your possession and the Goods must be returned at your risk, in the same condition in which you received them and securely re-packed in their original packaging. A handling charge of at least 25% of the invoiced value of the Goods plus the delivery and return carriage costs will be levied. Returns will not be accepted where the Packaging has been damaged.

(b) Any non-faulty Goods which are non-stock Goods, or which are bespoke, made-to-measure, personalised, customised, made to your specification or specially ordered (Restricted Goods) may not be returned;

(c) If you wish to return Goods to us because they are damaged or defective, or do not materially conform to their specification, any such damage, defect or nonconformity must be notified to us as soon as possible, but in any event within 7 days of the date that you discovered or ought to have discovered the damage, defect or nonconformity, (within 48 hours if damage in transit is alleged), and no further use of the Goods must be made following discovery of the damage, defect or nonconformity. We will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the damaged, defective or nonconforming Goods. Goods returned by you because of damage, defect or nonconformity will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

(d) If you wish to return Goods to us because they are believed to be faulty, we reserve the right in the first instance to send an engineer to investigate the fault and inspect the Goods on site. In these instances, if the inspection finds the fault is a result of incorrect application, maintenance or installation, or of misuse or vandalism, or any other cause that cannot be reasonably considered to be an inherent fault of the Goods caused by factory workmanship or defect due to non-conforming material, then a charge will be made for this inspection, and the return request will be refused. We reserve the right to require payment of this charge upfront prior to inspection and to refund it if/when the Goods are proved to be faulty.

(e) The Company reserves the right to require the Buyer to return the Goods to any UK postal address other than that of the main trading address of the Company.

9.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

9.3 You have an obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods whilst they are in your possession. We may, at our discretion and without limitation, refuse to refund or replace any Goods if we consider that you have failed to discharge this obligation.

9.4 In accordance with clause 9.3, you must not make any improper use of, or make any unauthorised modifications or repairs to, the Goods, and you must otherwise take reasonable care to avoid any risk of damage occurring to the Goods by any means.
