POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE GOODS PROCEDURE
The Company asks that if the Customer believes that goods which have been installed or fitted may be the subject of a warranty provided by the Company or do not meet any applicable consumer guarantees provided by Company to the Customer to contact the Company’s Customer Service Department before the goods are attempted to be repaired, replaced or removed for return to discuss the nature of the issue and whether it is appropriate for the Company to attend the premises where the goods have been installed or fitted as this may allow the goods and the issue to be better assessed by the Company (bearing in mind that the extent and accuracy of the assessment will be dependent on the information provided to the Company) before the goods are attempted to be repaired, replaced or removed. The Company therefore suggests that the Customer provide the Company with as much information as possible in relation to the goods as the Company will be relying on that information in assessing the goods and the issue. If there is a legal obligation on the Company to repair or replace the goods, then the Company will do so.
However, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that if the Customer requests the Company to attend the Customer’s premises (or the premises of any third party, including the premises of a customer of the Customer) and there is no legal obligation on the Company to repair or replace the goods, then the Customer will upon demand pay the Company the costs and charges incurred by the Company in 4 recognizing for the premises to be attended and the goods to be assessed. For instance, if the goods have been improperly installed or are used with incompatible parts or components and there is no legal obligation on the Company to repair or replace the goods, then the Customer will upon demand pay the Company the costs and charges incurred by the Company in recognizing for the premises to be attended and the goods to be assessed.
GOODS RETURN POLICY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company will not accept any goods (even, without limitation, if they are not the ordered goods or oversupplied) for return which have been altered, installed or fitted in anyway unless they are otherwise the subject of a warranty provided by the Company. The Company therefore encourages the Customer to fully inspect and test all goods and services provided by the Company prior to goods being altered, installed or fitted.
If the Customer wishes to return goods, the Customer must notify the Company’s Customer Service Department within 30 days of delivery of goods if they are damaged (prior to delivery), not the ordered goods or oversupplied and the goods must be returned to the Company at the
