Return Procedures
There are four options available for our customers who would like to return a product:
1. Exchange
If a product is unsatisfactory, we can offer to exchange it for another one (i.e. a different size or colour etc) or another product of the same value. Generally proof of purchase is required in order to get an exchange, although we may waive this requirement if we believe we have sold the product. Please note, as mentioned above, products returned or exchanged must be in a resalable condition with packaging intact and all labels etc returned with the item, also exchanges are not available on DVD's, except where the product is deemed faulty.
2. Money Back Guarantee
Our money back guarantee is a key aspect of our business. If a customer has proof that they purchased the goods from our website within the last 12-months, and providing we cannot repair or replace the item, they may obtain a refund. A refund will be made in the same tender as the original purchase. Please note that purchases made by cheque need 7 days to clear before we can refund and as mentioned above, that product returned must be in resalable condition unless faulty or otherwise deficient - the money back guarantee does not apply to DVD's, software, except where the product is deemed faulty.
