We endeavour to maintain correct information for items advertised on our web site at all times. Specifications of products are provided by the manufacturer and are subject to change without notice. No contract is made with the customer until the items have been despatched. Title of goods do not pass to the customer until payment is received in full.
Items are priced in GBP (Pounds Sterling). VAT is charged where applicable and at the prevailing rate. Our VAT Registration is GB 676 2564 05. Prices for retail customers are shown including VAT on product information pages. The VAT amount is calculated during the checkout process and shown to the customer before the order is completed.
Please note that for hygiene and sterility reasons our products are exempted from the returns procedures of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014. We are unable to accept unauthorised returns or provide a refund for items returned to us later than 30 days after you received them. Subject to authorisation, we may charge a £5 re-stocking fee plus the cost of carriage for any unopened and re-saleable items returned to us.
Sale or Return Policy: Subject to availability you may request an additional size to compare fitting. As a goodwill gesture this will be sent to you on a Sale or Return basis. Return postage is not included. If you decide to keep it or do not return it to us within 30 days you are liable to pay the full price for it. You may return one or both subject to our standard returns policy. We will charge or refund any difference in pricing between sizes as required.
Returns Policy: We are happy to accept returns and offer a full refund for your Novaguard excluding postage if it is returned to us in as-new condition, with no modifications and nothing trimmed off or damaged. We do not mind the occasional smudge or dog hair but if no effort has been made to return in a clean condition we reserve the right to charge a £5 cleaning fee per Novaguard.
PayPal Fees Policy: Regretfully PayPal no longer refund any of their fees for any transaction. Please be aware that if you make a duplicate payment, order the wrong item, cancel or change your mind these costs may be passed on to you.
Rejected Returns: If we are unable to accept a return we will explain why and send it back to you. If there is minor damage we may make a reduced refund offer as a goodwill gesture.
Refund Policy: The amount of any refund that we can offer will depend on the nature of the items ordered and the status of the order. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Our products are quality checked prior to despatch but if you think you have received a faulty product please contact us as soon as possible. It is possible the product is not actually faulty and we can guide you to resolve the issue. It may be that all you need is a replacement spare part. We can also advise you on temporary workarounds. Where possible we will normally arrange for repair or replacement at our own expense (this does not include express shipping costs). You may be required to send your product back to us. A refund is usually offered if the product cannot be repaired or replaced.
We do not accept liability for any delay in performing, or any failure in performing, any of our obligations in relation to the items, where the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control. Whilst every effort will be made to despatch items on time no liability can be accepted by us for failure to deliver within the advertised times. We are only able to send items for delivery to clearly and correctly described addresses.
We will not be liable or for any indirect, special or consequential losses or damages, whether for loss of profit or otherwise, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever, whether caused by the negligence by us, our employees, agents or otherwise, which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the items or their use or resale by the customer.
