8. Damage & Loss in Transit: Sometimes, unfortunately, things get lost or damaged in transit. If this happens to your order, please advise us and we will supply a replacement as quickly as we can. However, since we never knowingly ship damage goods, we need your help to recover our costs from the carrier wherever possible. If you do receive damaged goods, please retain all relevant documentation so that an insurance claim can be made against the carrier's insurers. If you receive a damaged parcel, note the fact on the delivery note, even before you open the parcel to examine the contents. If you are unable to open the damage package in the presence of the carrier, make sure you sign for it as "Damaged package; goods not yet inspected" or similar to warn the carrier that a claim may be forthcoming. Whatever the circumstances, please contact us by email or telephone with as much detail of the damage or loss as you can provide, soon after delivery, so that we can arrange a replacement and contact the carriers.



9. Quality of Goods/Fitness for Purpose: The goods we supply are original manufacturer's stock, suitable for the purposes described on this website and in the manufacturer's literature, provided the goods are used in accordance with any instructions supplied and in accordance with good normal practice.



10. Returns, Refunds and Cancellation: Goods which are returned under complaint or exchange, should be returned to us registered post paid. If the claim is supported, we will refund monies paid for return transport. We appreciate that sometimes, purchases are made as gifts, which may prove to be unsuitable. In these circumstances, we will happily arrange a credit or refund of the full purchase price paid for the goods, once we have examined the returned goods, but the carriage costs cannot be refunded. Please note that refunds will normally be made using the same method as the original payment. In all cases we will endeavour to make any refunds within five working days on receipt of the returned goods. UK customers are advised that the EU Directive on Distance Selling as incorporated into UK law by The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 requires the provision of a consumer's right to cancel a contract, without giving a reason, within 7 days of receipt of the goods, which we are required to point out, as this is your minimum legal right. You should also be aware that this Act requires that returned goods are in merchantable condition and that any seals for instance on containers of products remain unbroken.



11. Payment & Retention of Title: Under normal circumstances, goods must be paid for prior to dispatch, unless you are a regular or local customer in the Bicester area, who requires an item usually in stock, not a special order only product.
