| 6 | Cancellation and Returns |
| 6.1 | If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 calendar days, beginning on the day you received the Products. You must notify us via durable medium (email / letter) and quote your order number in any communication. Notification by phone is not sufficient. |
| 6.2 | If you are contracting as a Business / Trade customer, clause 6.1 does not apply. Any orders by or on behalf of a business cannot be cancelled once they have been placed. An order will be deemed to be a Business Order, if it is paid via business bank account or business debit / credit card, or a company address or purchase order number has been provided. If your order is faulty or damaged and you wish to reject it, you must notify us via durable medium within 30 calendar days of receiving the goods, otherwise, it will be deemed that you have accepted the goods, meaning any breaches of the contract can only be treated as a breach of the warranty. For any goods that are incomplete, incorrect, faulty, or physically damaged, clauses 6.10 and 6.11 are applicable. |
| 6.3 | You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. |
| 6.4 | We do not offer collection for orders delivered to Iceland, Faroe Islands, Andorra, Canary Islands, Réunion, Martinique & Guadeloupe. The warranty service is strictly Return to Base. This means that should a fault develop with your order it will be your responsibility to return the faulty goods to us at your own expense using your courier and insurance. Once we have repaired or replaced the goods we will return them to you at our expense. |
| 6.5 | The supply of services (namely a Fast-track/priority build service - if ordered) will not be refunded because this service contract will have been fully completed within the cancellation period. |
| 6.6 | Once the cancelled Products are received by us, we will refund your debit or credit card or issue a cheque or bank transfer for the full amount paid within 14 days including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us) less the collection charge we paid for the collection of the Goods if applicable. |
| 6.7 | Except in the case of faulty or miss-described goods, if you do not return the goods as required, we may charge you a sum not exceeding the direct costs of recovering the goods. All original items delivered must be returned with the refund request. This includes but is not limited to welcome packs, software discs, cables, digital download codes such as games, chassis accessories and peripherals. |
| 6.8 | Any software or consumable goods that have been unsealed or activated do not have the right of cancellation and will not be refunded. Please see section 28(3)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 for further information. |
| 6.9 | A full statement of your legal rights under The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 may be obtained in the UK from your local Citizen's Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. |
| 6.10 | If the goods supplied to you are incomplete/incorrect or physically damaged then you should notify us via email, letter or webmail by logging into your account area within 72 hours of receipt. Failure to notify us with 72 hours of receipt will result in the determination that any physical damage occurred whilst in your care and that the goods were supplied correctly and in full. |
| 6.11 | If you suspect that the Goods are faulty and wish to return them you must contact us within 72 hours of discovering the fault and submit an RMA (Return Material Authorisation) request. We will examine the returned Product and if you are entitled, we will notify you of your options (which may be to either repair, replace or refund) via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will process a repair, replacement or refund as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day you confirm whether you opt for repair or replacement, or within 14 days of the day you opt for a refund for the defective Product. |
| 6.12 | For refunds, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or(if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, orif there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract. |
| 6.13 | For any returns due to damage or suspected faults, we will arrange for collection at our cost within the first month after receipt or as extended by your warranty provision. Should the product be found not defective then you will be liable for the costs of collection, re-delivery, labour and new packaging if required. We do not offer a collection for orders delivered to the Channel Islands, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland.
Returns due to a change of mind or circumstances will also incur the cost of collection. The collection cost is €50. |
| 6.14 | Peripheral items (any item that is not a computer or laptop) must be returned to us using your own delivery method. We will not arrange for collection of any peripheral items within the first month after receipt or at any time after this date. |
| 6.15 | Where collections are arranged by us, you still have a duty of care to ensure the Products are packaged sufficiently, for the type and value of goods being returned. Due to the nature of the goods supplied, we recommend original packaging is used. If original packaging is not available, new specialty packaging can be ordered from us where available. Where you use your own packaging, liability for the cost of repairing damage resulting from inadequate packaging rests with you. We will only confirm that the item has arrived back to us in a satisfactory condition once we have opened and inspected the item. |
| 6.16 | When you return goods using your own delivery method, where goods are found to be defective we will refund up to €12 of the cost incurred by you. This will only be refunded upon the receipt of proof of the carriage costs and only applies whilst the goods are covered under the warranty period specified on your order. |
| 6.17 | When returning goods under the 14 day cooling off period, if the goods are not in a resaleable condition or if the goods have been unnecessarily handled we reserve the right to offer only a partial refund. |
| 6.18 | If you cancel a home installation service after your order has been dispatched, a cancellation fee of €59 including VAT will be deducted from any refunds due. |
| 6.19 | If you wish to return the system in the original packaging and you either find your packaging to not be suitable for return, or you didn't keep the original packaging, then please feel free to contact us for replacement packaging at a cost. |
| 6.20 | Consumers have the statutory warranty rights for goods at their disposal. |
