VAT Free Explained:

For all VAT Free offers, prices have been reduced in the promotion with a discount which is equal to VAT Free (16.66%). Therefore it is equivalent to not having to pay the VAT. VAT is still applied to the order at the current rate of 20%.

Discount Codes:

Orders must be over the qualifying amount, excluding VAT and delivery to qualify. Discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or promotion. Free delivery is NOT valid when using discount codes unless stated otherwise.

Orders must be over £100 excluding VAT to qualify, otherwise £5.25 (plus VAT) is the standard delivery charge to most parts of mainland UK. This offer is only valid on orders within mainland UK and excludes large or heavy items. The Channel Islands, Offshore Islands, Highlands, Scottish Islands and certain areas of the UK may vary according to the size and weight of the parcel. Free delivery over £100 does not apply to orders where an offer code has been used, unless stated otherwise.

Call Monitoring

Guarantee

All items are guaranteed according to the individual manufacturer´s warranty. Any faulty items which are still under the manufacturer’s warranty must be reported and sent back for inspection, once the goods are received back we will determine whether the item(s) can be repaired, if this is not the case then a replacement will be issued. If we are unable to either repair or replace the item(s) then a full or partial refund may be issued. This process can take between 10-14 days.

Our warranties run from the initial date of purchase, if we have made the decision to replace a product that is still under warranty then this does not mean that you receive a new warranty when you receive a replacement. In essence the contract that you make at the time of sale, which includes the warranty, is formed at the time when you paid the money. Issuing a replacement is something that occurs under the original agreement and it does not mean that you receive a new warranty. Therefore, it is important to be aware that your original warranty will expire on the original purchase, rather than the clock being re-set on the warranty at the time when your item is replaced.
