As defined in The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, the customer may, provided he or she has taken reasonable care of the Goods, return the goods and be repaid the price paid in respect of them within 7 working days (excluding Saturday and Sunday and any UK Bank Holiday) starting from the first working day after their delivery.

The following conditions must be fulfilled:

1. Goods returned must be received in as new condition.
2. Goods must be returned complete (including all packaging, manuals, etc for that product). If any item(s) are missing when received then the product is deemed incomplete.
3. The packaging of the goods must be unmarked and undamaged.
4. Carriage costs for despatch and returning the goods are the customer's responsibility. If the customer would like the company to make the collection on their behalf they must be aware the collection will not be insured and the company cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred during the collection. All collection charges incurred will be passed on to the customer at cost.
5. The goods remain the customer's responsibility during transit and until signed for by the company.
6. If upon receipt the returned goods fail to meet the above conditions then the company may refuse to accept the goods.
7. A refund for the goods will be made by the same payment method and to the same card that was used to make the purchase. All refunds will be undertaken within 30 days of the return. Refunds cannot be made for postal charges incurred by the customer in returning the goods to us.

Returns (Faulty goods)
If the goods were delivered 30 days ago or less, we will offer to refund or replace confirmed-faulty goods once returned as per our returns procedure. The company will help to arrange a resolution under the manufacturer's warranty for items reported after the 30-day period.

Goods damaged in transit
The company must be notified within 24 hours of receipt of an item damaged in transit. All of the packaging the item was shipped in should be retained, if the packaging is obviously damaged refuse the delivery or only sign for the items as 'Damaged Packaging, items not inspected'. If the packaging and goods inside are obviously severely damaged refuse the delivery entirely. Once the damaged items are received back in accordance with our returns procedure we will send a replacement product or, if this is not possible, provide a full refund. Once the goods have been delivered and signed for in good condition responsibility passes to the customer. Goods endorsed as 'received in good condition' or not notified within 24 hours as damaged cannot be guaranteed a replacement product.
