Guarantee

10 Day Money-Back Guarantee.


We appreciate it is sometimes difficult to be sure you are buying the right product for your needs; and even though you can contact us for advice, we also offer a 10 day, no-quibble MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE from date of delivery to you. If your purchase is not right in any way either return it to us with details of the purchase or a copy of the invoice. Alternatively you can contact us immediately for advice.

This applies to consumers and end users, not trade customers. It is not transferable.

Returns need to be undamaged and in their complete, original packing with all documentation (instruction books, etc). Please DO NOT write or tape on the sales carton.

This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer. 10 Day Money Back Guarantee applies to consumer sales delivered to a household address. We regret that delivery and packaging are direct costs and cannot be refunded.

GUARANTEES
All products have a one year Return To Base guarantee, parts and labour. The exclusions are batteries, indicator lamps and fuses. Some product ranges also benefit from their manufacturer's extended parts/labour warranties, subject to their conditions, which are from date of purchase.

GUARANTEE - RETURN PROCEDURE
Should you need to claim under guarantee, please email us for help. We will advise on the best method for you to return the item to us (or to the manufacturer). We will contact the manufacturer for you and then make sure the repaired item is returned to you as soon as possible.

Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive which can be found by clicking here
