If you believe that your product is faulty, damaged or misdescribed and this is subsequently confirmed by us after a reasonable examination, then you will be eligible to request a refund. If you do not request a refund, we will either repair your product or offer a like-for-like replacement free of charge.
(a.ii) 30 days to 6 months after delivery
If you believe that your product is faulty, and this is subsequently confirmed by us after a reasonable examination, then you will be eligible to request a repair or replacement.

We may offer you a refund at our discretion in circumstances where we determine that your product cannot be repaired or replaced, or a like-for-like replacement is not available within a reasonable period of time.
(a.iii) More than 6 months after delivery
If you believe that your product is faulty, you must prove to our reasonable satisfaction that the product was faulty when we supplied it to you. If we are satisfied with the information that you provide and we subsequently confirm that the product is faulty after our own reasonable examination, then you will be eligible to request a repair or replacement. You will not be eligible to request a refund. We may, however, offer you a partial refund at our discretion in circumstances where we determine that your product cannot be repaired or replaced or a like-for-like replacement is not available within a reasonable period of time. The amount of any refund will be determined by us taking into consideration the age of your product and the use that you had of it.

(c) When returning a faulty product we may ask that you return the physical product to us and that you do this by First Class Royal Mail (Recorded Delivery).

(d) Any costs associated with repair or replacement of faulty products will be borne by us. This will include the cost of return delivery of the product to us or to our chosen third party repairer.

(e) We may ask for independent third party confirmation of any faults. If this is necessary, we will initially bear the costs but may ask you to reimburse us if the products are found to be of satisfactory quality. We shall inform you that we intend to seek confirmation of the claimed faults before we do so and who we will be approaching to do this.

(f) Products with faults due to normal wear and tear or damage caused by misuse will not be repaired or replaced free of charge and no refunds will be given.

(g) Refunds (and partial refunds) will normally be refunded to the same account debited during purchase. Refunds (and partial refunds) will ordinarily be processed within 14 days of the date that we agree a refund will be given.
