All our main products are guaranteed for at least 12 months from date of delivery. * Your statutory rights are NOT affected in any way by our terms. We believe 100% that 1st Rate Comms Ltd gives the best overall deal on the net. We will do all we can to sort out your problems quickly and politely. If pre-purchase you are not happy with any aspect of our sales charter then please email us for a quick positive response.
Items must always be returned as supplied with original packaging in all cases. If a product has been damaged we can tell and our terms do not apply, but if you inform us from the start we will do all we can to help. Returning an item, cancelled orders and no longer required goods. Where an item is to be returned for refund due to no longer being required and within the 7 working days (starting the day after delivery), then the customer must meet all return transport costs. Adequate packaging must be made and we recommend that the delivery is insured for the full value of the goods as in the event that the items are received in a damaged condition, no refund will be made and any warranty supplied by ourselves will become void.
You should also ensure that you use an insured carrier to deliver the goods unless 1st Rate Comms Ltd has agreed an alternative. The carrier must also obtain a signature for any deliveries as no claim can be made against us for missing items without specific proof to show we have received it.
Faulty goods within 28 days.
If you purchase an item from 1st Rate Comms Ltd and it does not work upon arrival or becomes faulty within 28 days of receipt, you are legally entitled to a full refund or replacement but you must report it to 1st Rate Comms Ltd within 28 days of receipt.
You should contact 1st Rate Comms Ltd to arrange the return of the item and then ensure you include all packaging, manuals, accessories etc. In the case of returning the item for a full refund, you must also return any free gifts at time of purchase. We will ask that you contact the manufacturers help line directly in order to confirm there is a physical fault as it is often the case that some faults are actually configuration or compatibility issues.
This in no way affects your statutory rights and is simply something we may ask our customers to perform in order to speed up the DOA process and to ensure that you do not become liable for the costs of returning a non-faulty item. If the item is not found to have a fault upon our inspection, we will charge an inspection fee of 10% of the items value and all delivery charges incurred by us in returning the item to you, which must be paid before the goods can be released. Proof of posting is not a receipt. Returning an item damaged in transit.
You must notify 1st Rate Comms Ltd of any items damaged in transit within 1 day of delivery. Claims for transit damage cannot be accepted after this period. Please contact us to request a returns number explaining the problem and the nature of the damage. We will then arrange to refund or replace as you wish. Please ensure that when the item is delivered, if there is visible damage to the packaging, you sign the delivery note accordingly. It is always better to sign as received damaged/opened with a brief explanation than to write unchecked. In an ideal instance, where signs of transit damage are showing on the packaging you should inspect the goods before signing the drivers manifest and if damage is present on the products, you can then refuse delivery saving yourself the time of going through the returns procedure.
All returns For a full refund to be made, all returned items must be in a original packaging and in good condition. For example an item being returned as not required should still be with its original packaging. Goods being returned as not required should not have been used. For faulty items the original packaging materials should be used to protect the item from any damage during return transit, as any further damage occurring during return transit caused by inadequate packaging will result in a charge being deducted from any refund due, to the value of correcting said damage. All refunds will be made no later than 28 days after the first notification of the cancellation of the order or for returns within 10 days of receipt of the returned items providing all terms have been met. Warranty Items All items not accepted above and supplied by ourselves include a 12-month return to base warranty providing that the following terms are met:- - 1. The item is only used in the manner it is designed to be used.
- 2. No signs of misuse are present.
- 3. For all hardware items, no external casings or covers have been removed.
- 4. All requirements for use detailed in any literature supplied are complied with.
Any breaches of the above terms will cause immediate cessation of all warranty rights. Your statutory rights are in no way affected by any of the above Terms & Conditions. E&OE. By Post to:
