to meet the Customers requirements, or if the Goods have a sales value of £20
+ VAT or less. Software, or purchased digital content, are exempt from any returns policies. If the Company at its discretion gives consent, it reserves the
right to charge a restocking fee of up to 20% + VAT of the price of the Goods
in question, or £15 + VAT, whichever the greater.
8. Guarantee
a) If within twelve calendar months of being delivered, any defect in the Goods
is discovered which is directly due to faulty materials or workmanship, the
Company should be promptly notified. The Company will, at its option remedy
the defect or damage by replacement or repair, or raise a credit note, as it
considers appropriate and within reasonable time. If a credit note is raised,
it will first be utilised against any existing indebtedness, then the balance
refunded by the same payment method as the original order was placed.
b) The guarantee will be subject to the following conditions :-
i) it will not apply to defect or damage resulting from any alteration or modification
of the Goods without the Companys prior written or email consent, incorrect
storage, normal wear and tear, misuse, abnormal conditions of use, incorrect
installation, maintenance or repair, use which is not in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions, any act or omission of the Customer or any third
party or any fault in any other Goods or equipment.
ii) The Customer must complete and submit the Companys Return of Materials
Authorisation (RMA) form in relation to any such defect or damage. If it appears
to the Company from the information submitted on the RMA form that such defect
or damage is covered by the guarantee, an RMA number will be issued confirming
the Goods in question may be returned for inspection. If, on inspection, it
is discovered that information supplied on the RMA form is materially incorrect,
or that the Goods did not originate from the Company, or that defect or damage
is not covered by the guarantee, the RMA number is void and the Goods will be
made available for collection by the Customer or their representatives or agents.
In this event, the Customer will be advised and allowed seven working days to
collect the Goods. After this period, the Company reserves the right to dispose
of the Goods and will not provide replacement, credit note or refund. RMA numbers
issued by the Company are valid for seven working days from the date of issue.
After this period the RMA log is closed and a new RMA number must be obtained.
iii) Allegedly defective or damaged Goods must be returned to the Company at
the Customers cost, in original packaging, complete with all related documentation
and accessories. Goods must be packaged in the appropriate fashion and clearly
labeled with the relevant RMA number. Failure to do so may result in the Goods
being refused on arrival at our warehouse.
iv) The guarantee will apply to Goods replaced or repaired under the guarantee
for the balance of the original guarantee period.
9. Exclusion of Liability
