CHOICE OF COMPENSATION

Any customer that is also a consumer under the CPA may decide whether we should either replace or refund the defective products. We will decide how to compensate any of our other customers.

INVALIDATION OF WARRANTIES AND RIGHT TO RETURN UNSUITABLE PRODUCTS

Our products are very precise, and are manufactured and repaired under strictly under controlled conditions. For this reason, warranties on any of our products will be invalid if any person who is not suitably qualified has opened, tampered with or altered the products contrary to the instructions or removed the warranty label.

We will refund the full price of any unsuitable products in their original unopened packaging. For opened products, we may deduct or charge a reasonable amount for any use of the products plus certain costs necessary for repackaging and restocking, subject to the CPA. These costs are usually up to 25% of the cost of the products.

DELIVERY COSTS

We will cover costs of returning defective or unsuitable products. We may inspect the products to confirm that they are defective, or in case of unsuitable opened products, that quantities used seem reasonable, before we do so.

If you returned the products within the seven day cooling-off period(cooling-off period not applied to our online stores or partners) and our technician reports that the products were defective, were provided to you for your specific purpose and were unsuitable for that purpose, then we will either contact you and ask you whether you would like us to replace or refund the price of the products (if you are also a consumer under the CPA) or advise you how we have decided to compensate you (if you are not a consumer under the CPA).
If the products were returned outside the seven day cooling-off period, or our technician reports that the products were misused, were of good quality, were not provided to you for a specific purpose or were suitable for that purpose, then we will not replace or refund the products. 

Our customer services department may tell you that they do not believe you have a claim, for example because the warranty period of the products has expired. In this case we may refuse to replace products, or refuse to pay a refund If you choose for us to replace the products or we decide to do so ourselves, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to organise the necessary steps to repair or replace the products. if you choose for us to make a refund or we decide to do so ourselves, we will contact you and arrange payment of the refunded amount into your bank account used to process the purchase, within 30 days of cancellation.
