With the Seller’s prior written agreement within 14 days of delivery. The goods must be un-opened, with the manufacturers seal intact

and in perfect re-saleable condition. All goods returned in these circumstances will be at the Seller’s discretion and be subject to a 25%

re-stocking fees of the Seller’s sale price for the goods. Please ensure that the product(s) you have purchased are to your specification

prior to breaking the manufacturers seal. This will avoid disappointment and the product(s) being rejected should you wish to return them.

be sent to the address provided to you by our Customer Service Staff.

the courier arrives.

manufacturer’s packaging (which shall not be defaced) complete with accessories, manuals and documentation. Except in the case of

defect, we will return the product to you, and the carriage cost of this return will be your responsibility. Please note that if you have, in
