Refund Policy
If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods in whole or in part for any reason other than any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control or the Buyer’s fault, and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyer, the Buyer’s sole remedy shall be limited to the Seller making good any shortage by replacing such Goods (or, if the Seller shall elect, by refunding a proportionate part of the Price).
If goods are incorrectly ordered by the Buyer, the order may be cancelled prior to shipment and any payments made will be refunded in full. If shipment of goods has taken place, the return of such products will be subject to the goods being returned in an ‘as new’ condition with shipping and duties borne by the Buyer and will be subject to a 30% restocking charge from the seller.
Claims
The Buyer shall inspect the Goods immediately on delivery thereof. The Goods shall be deemed to be free from defects or damage and in all respects in accordance with the Contract and the Buyer shall be bound to accept and pay for such Goods at the time or times specified in the Contract unless a written claim is made by the Buyer and is received: (i) by both the Seller and the carrier within three days of delivery in respect of any claim relating to damage, delay or partial loss in transit. (ii) by both the Seller and the carrier within 28 days of dispatch in respect of any claim relating to non delivery or (iii) by the Seller within 28 days of delivery in respect of any claim relating to any other matter. Following any such written claim, the Seller shall be given an opportunity to inspect the Goods within a reasonable time following delivery and before any use is made of them and Goods subject to any claim must be stored by the Buyer free of charge for our inspection. The Seller reserves the right to request, and if so requested the Buyer shall provide, a failure report for defective goods that are rejected before a return will be allowed or RMA issued. Where the Buyer rejects or purports to reject any Goods then the relevant provisions of these Conditions shall apply in respect of any related liability and claims.
