CONSUMER CONTRACTS REGULATIONS 2013

This legislation offers you the following cancellation rights when you buy online or by phone:

• You are entitled to cancel your contract if you so wish, provided that you exercise your right no longer than 14 days after the day on which you receive the goods or services.
• Your right to return or cancel products does not apply to goods that are made to measure or are made to your specification, that have been clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. This doesn't affect your statutory rights if goods are faulty or not as described.
• If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation, you are obliged to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them.
• To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel your contract by a clear statement, including details of your name, geographical address, details of the order you wish to cancel and, where available, your phone number and email address.
• You can cancel by email or call 0191 2656327
• If you decide to cancel, you should return the goods to us at your cost within 14 days of such cancellation and we will reimburse to you (by the method used to pay for the original transaction) the amount in relation to goods to which cancellation rights apply. This includes the cost of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than our standard and least expensive method of delivery).

• Walter Cox Ltd cannot be held responsible for any items that do not fit in the intended space or through any access point to the intended space. It is the customers responsibility to check all measurements prior to placing an order. If you wish to cancel the contract because the

  item does not fit where intended due to access or space, you will incur a 25% charge. Any delivery charges are non refundable.

  Any assembly/installation charge will be fully refunded where assembly/installation is not possible.

• We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied.

GUARANTEES FOR LARGE DOMESTIC APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER ELECTRONICS PRODUCTS

We always honour the manufacturer's guarantee period where offered; these are usually one year unless otherwise stated.

WHAT DOES THE GUARANTEE COVER?

The manufacturer's guarantees provide full cover against mechanical breakdown through normal use. This means that if your item develops a fault during the guarantee period, the manufacturer will arrange for it to be repaired free of charge, including all parts and labour. Your guarantee is non transferable with ownership, so if you give or sell the item to someone during the guarantee period, it is not covered.

Large domestic appliances include the following ranges of products: washing machines, tumble dryers, washer dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, fridge freezers and cookers 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

During the guarantee period, if your product develops a fault that needs to be repaired, look for visible signs of the breakdown and consult the fault-finding guide in the manufacturer's handbook, if any.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, please contact the manufacturer. You'll need to provide them with details of your item, including the model number, serial number and date of purchase. You'll find all of this information on our original receipt – this acts as your guarantee, so please make sure you keep it safe.

If the manufacturer can't repair your item, they will replace it with an item of equivalent specification.

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED?

There are some specific exclusions from our guarantees, as follows:

• Repair costs caused by external factors such as fire, theft, and weather (including lightning damage)
• Accidental damage, for example if your item has been dropped. You may find that this type of damage is covered by your household contents insurance policy
• Image ghosting or screen burn. These can appear on a screen that's left operating for a prolonged period with either a still image or a channel constantly displaying a logo
• Pixel spots. These are tiny dark or bright spots that may become visible on a screen
• Digital television picture affected by any of the following: a misaligned or unsuitable aerial, climatic conditions, geographic location, poor quality or low strength broadcast signal
• Consumables such as batteries, bulbs, fuses, light bulbs etc
• If the product has been used commercially or for business purposes
• Cosmetic damage such as cabinet trim, scratches, dents, corrosion or colour where the function of the product is unaffected
• Unblocking drainage channels in refrigeration equipment
• Frozen food loss as a result of the product breaking down
• Any loss suffered as a result of not being able to use the product, or any loss over and above the purchase price of the original item
• Servicing, inspecting or cleaning of the product; and failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and/or installation guidelines
• Deliberate damage or neglect of the product

WEEE COMPLIANCE

Recycling your old electricals is easy!

Recycle your electrical and electronic devices free at your local recycling centre. To find your nearest centre, visit the Recycle More website and type in your postcode.

Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.

We’re proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities for electrical equipment.

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.

How are we helping?

In the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible retailer, we have met the requirements placed on us by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the national Distributor Take-back scheme (DTS).

To find more information on WEEE recycling and to locate your nearest recycling centre please visit the Recycle More  website.
