Under the Distance Selling Regulations you have the legal right to cancel your order within fourteen days of receipt of your goods (with the exception of any made to order and customised items, software, consumables such as lamps, filters, batteries etc. or data storage media where any seal or packaging has been opened). You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling your contract nor will you have to pay any penalty. However, you will need to notify us in writing if you wish to cancel your contract.

9.4. If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then you must send the goods back in accordance with our policy set out in 9.4.1 at your own cost and risk.

9.4.1. In order to return Goods, you must obtain an RMA number from us and send the Goods back to the address provided by us in their original packaging, in an “as new” condition, unused or installed and complete with all accessories, manuals, drivers, cables and other items that originally came with the Goods, unless agreed otherwise.
You can examine the goods as you would in a shop but to obtain a full refund you must not start using them, install them or input any data/software.
9.4.2. You must pay for the costs of return unless the Goods are returned because they are faulty, damaged or the wrong item was supplied. The Goods must be returned to us within 7 days of us issuing the RMA number. You will be liable for the Goods until they have been delivered to us.

9.5. Once you have notified us that you are cancelling your contract, any refund will be made as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order provided that the goods in question are returned by you and received by us in the condition they were in when delivered to you. If you do not return the goods delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we will be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the goods from the amount to be re-credited to you. A deduction may be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.
Any refund will include the basic delivery cost available at the time of order. If you opted for a premium delivery service such as next working day, we will only refund the basic delivery service cost.

9.6. You will be re-credited for the costs incurred in returning faulty, damaged or incorrect Goods.

10. Rejection (for non-consumers)

10.5. If you fail to comply with either 10.1. or 10.2., you will be deemed to have accepted the goods.

11. Faulty or damaged goods

11.1. It is your responsibility to check the Goods and packaging for damage or fault upon delivery.

11.2. If on delivery the goods and/or packaging appear to be visibly damaged you must notify the carrier immediately that you will not accept delivery or make a note of the damage on the carrier delivery slip and you must inform us of the damage immediately otherwise you will forfeit your right to reject the goods for visible damage.

11.3. If on delivery the goods appear to be faulty you must notify us of the fault within 7 days of delivery. Within this period and once the fault has been confirmed by us, we will either replace the Goods or refund you under our 'Dead on Arrival' policy. If you notify us of a fault after 7 days from delivery, the outcome will depend on the individual manufacturer's 'Dead on Arrival' policy. If the Goods are returned outside of the manufacturer's DOA period, the Goods will be either repaired or replaced according to the manufacturer's warranty terms and conditions.
Consumable Goods, including but not limited to projector lamps, batteries, filters etc. inherently degrade over time, and their lifespan can be impacted by various factors outside our or the manufacturer’s control. Consequently, consumable Goods cannot be returned when they have failed due to misuse, user error, a fault with the main hardware (e.g. projector overheating) or outside of the warranty period.

11.4. Any Goods returned as faulty may be tested and if found not to be faulty, may incur an admin charge and will be returned to you at your cost.

12.2. If we do cancel your contract we will notify you in writing or by phone and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order.

13. Suspension and termination

13.1. We may, at our absolute discretion, suspend any delivery and / or terminate any contract immediately on notice to you if:

14. Liability

If you do not receive goods ordered by you within 30 days of the date on which you ordered them, we will have no liability to you unless you notify us in writing at our contact address of the problem within 60 days of the date on which you ordered the Goods (unless this is not reasonably practicable). If you notify a problem to us under this condition, our only obligation will be, at your option:
