22. Returns and refunds

22.1 It is your responsibility to check the goods on delivery and should you need to return Goods you must have a Goods return number ("GRN"). You can obtain a GRN by emailing our customer care team or writing to them at the address on our returns page and providing us with: (a) the order number;(b) the product code; and(c) (unless the contract is being cancelled in accordance with paragraph 21.1) the reason for return.

22.2 We will then provide you with your unique GRN and explain how you can return the Goods. We will not accept returns without a valid GRN.

22.3 To exercise your right to cancellation under paragraph 21.1, all returned items must be in their original packaging, in an “as new” condition and must not be used or installed and be complete with all manuals, drivers, cables and other items that originally came with the item, unless agreed otherwise.

22.4 You must pay for the costs of return unless the goods are faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied. The Goods must be returned to us within 7 days of you being issued your GRN. We recommend that you insure any Goods which you return to us as you will be liable for them until they reach us.

22.5 If the contract is cancelled in accordance with paragraph 21.1 above, we will credit your account with the sum debited by us (excluding the original cost of delivery to you and subject to your obligation to pay for the return of non-faulty, non-damaged or correctly supplied goods under paragraph 22.4) as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of us receiving the returned goods (or if no goods have been dispatched, your notice to cancel) or notifying you of our cancellation. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

23. Faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied Goods

23.1 Where you wish to report a fault in the Goods, our customer services team may ask you to contact the manufacture of the product to carry out an initial verification of the problem over the telephone.

23.2 It is your responsibility to check the goods on delivery and:

23.2.1 In respect of goods which are faulty upon delivery, you must notify us within 7 days of delivery.

Where you notify us of a fault in the goods within the time specified in the relevant DOA policy and the fault is verified we will replace the goods or give you a full refund. Where goods are returned outside the manufacturer's DOA period and the fault is verified, the goods will be repaired or replaced at our discretion under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty.
