During the expected lifespan of your product you’re entitled to the following:
Up to 30 days: If your goods are faulty, you can get a refund
Up to 6 Months: If it can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund in most cases however you have to give the retailer one opportunity to repair or replace any goods which are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described.
Goods cannot be returned as faulty where a specific defect in the product was brought to the attention of the customer at the point of sale.
New items come with a 12 month warranty unless otherwise specified or extended by manufacturer (this does not include strings or valves which have a limited warranty period).
All 2nd hand items have a 30 day warranty unless otherwise stated
This policy is invalidated if the goods have been altered in any way from their original condition, or if the fault is due to misuse by the purchaser.
Orders for software products or hardware that includes software as part of the package, cannot be refunded once the software has been opened.
Video/Audio content in the form of CDs or DVDs also cannot be returned if the item has been opened.
If further clarification is required on our Returns Policy regarding software and audio/video content, please email us [HERE]
Items where there may be a hygiene concern if the product is used (e.g. microphones and earphones) may only be returned/exchanged if the packaging is factory sealed and unopened.
Consumer Contracts Regulations
Your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive it.
In accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations, any goods can be returned for any reason within 14 days after cancellation to return for a refund. Returned goods must be in their original condition and packaging. Please note, however, that this does not apply to items bought in store/in person.
The Consumer Rights Act means that customers are obliged to return items in the same conditions as they were received and as if they had looked and tried out as if in a shop environment – Consumers do not have the legal right to any remedy for problems caused by them damaging or misusing the goods, accidentally or otherwise.
Refunds
Refunds can only be made by the method originally used to pay for the goods. Refunds are processed as quickly as possible and normally take 3-5 working days to show on customer’s account.
