Refunds can only be made to the original card of purchase. We will process the refund in no more than:
a. 14 days after the day the product is received by us.
b. if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which you informed us about your decision to cancel your order.
Please note that you the customer is liable for any diminished value of the product resulting from the handling of the product in any way other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product while you are responsible for it (this includes, in the context of a return, when the product is in transit back to us).
We will refund the price of the item to the purchaser or exchange the product once it is received by us.
We will refund the standard (not expedited) outbound delivery charge made on orders ONLY if they are returned to us within 14 days of receipt.
If an order is returned to us after 14 days from receipt then we will refund the outbound delivery charge only if the goods are damaged, faulty or incorrect. If you are returning an incorrectly purchased item, that we correctly shipped, we will not refund the order shipping charge.
If the order value is over our minimum order value for free shipping, then we will deduct an amount from the invoice total to cover the shipping/handling costs we have incurred to send the items out to you originally.
Restocking Fee
If we find that a product has NOT been returned to us in as new and fully resaleable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item or deduct up to 25% of the original selling price from the refund amount.
Warranty Claims
If an item is genuinely faulty customers have the right to a repair or a replacement & in some cases a refund as long as the complaint is made "within a reasonable time".
We will normally require defective goods to be returned to us so that we can inspect goods and/or if necessary, send them back to the manufacturer under warranty for testing.
Note: If goods are found not to be faulty or they are damaged as a result of incorrect installation or misuse then we reserve the right to charge a handling fee to cover any costs that we incur from testing an item or shipping it back to the manufacturer.
As a guide most manufacturers offer a 12-month warranty, but it does vary.
If you think a product might be faulty it is in your best interest to check first that items have been installed correctly and that the product is used in the way that it is intended. Warranty claims will be declined if the product has been misused, neglected or incorrectly installed.
If you discover a fault with an item please contact our customer services team so we can discuss the best course of action to resolve the issue. Where an item is shown to be genuinely faulty then Isell Ltd will usually pay for the reasonable costs of the collection or return postage from the customer. (UK shipping costs will be covered up to an agreed sum usually £15)
Once a faulty warranty claim item has been returned to us, we will examine the product and, if applicable, set it up on test.
- If the product is working correctly, we will return it to you. Note:We reserve the right to charge a handling fee to cover any costs incurred as some manufacturers charge a fee of £50-£75 to test/inspect goods.
- If the product is faulty, we will repair the goods or send out a replacement product, or if either of these options are not available then we will provide you a credit for the purchase cost of the product.
- If the product has been damaged due to incorrect installation, misuse or neglect then this will result in the withdrawal of the warranty. Please note in this situation some manufacturers charge an inspection fee of £50-£75 which the customer will be liable for.
Isell Limited will not be liable for any loss of use of a Spa/Hot tub or any incidental expenses incurred as a result of the repair or replacement of any spa parts. Cost of installation, removal and or shipping is not covered by any warranty.
