Returns Policy & Warranty Information
1. RETURNING AN UNWANTED PRODUCT
1.1 You may have a legal right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. These rights may not apply for products delivered outside the UK – please ask us before placing your order if you are unsure whether the rights apply to you. These rights do not apply where you are purchasing products from us in person, or where you are purchasing products in connection with your trade or business.
1.2 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You can only return products which are in original condition. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
1.2.1 products that have been altered in any way (including but not limited to, removal of sealed plug, hardwired, or mounted products);
1.2.2 bespoke or custom printed products;
1.2.3 products that have been damaged by you or your agent, including in the installation of the product;
1.2.4 the product is no longer in a resalable condition;
1.2.5 products without their original safety stickers in place; and
1.2.6 any products which become mixed inseparably with other products after their delivery.
1.3 Products supplied by third parties. The purchaser must contact the original supplier of the product directly to return the product(s). For example, if you purchase a heater from us but the controller from a third party, we would not accept return of the controller (and would not accept any responsibility for damage to or defects in the heater caused by the third party product, including without limitation where the combination of the two is inappropriate).
1.4 Return claims from outside of the UK. We reserve the right to decline acceptance of returns that were delivered to an address outside the UK. However, if we accept a return from outside of the UK, you are responsible for any shipping, import, VAT, and duty fees associated with the return.
1.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
1.5.1 If you bought goods which are delivered in a single delivery. In this case you have 14 days after the day you (or someone on your behalf) receives the goods; or
1.5.2 If you bought goods which are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone on your behalf) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
