Returns & warranty
Last updated 6 November 2026
If a part is not what you ordered, or it does not work, we replace or refund it. The terms below separate consumer purchases from business purchases, because the statutory rights differ.
Damaged, defective or wrong item
- Tell us within 30 days of delivery, with your order reference and a photo of the part and the packaging.
- We ship a replacement at our cost, or refund in full including the original freight — your choice.
- Please do not return a faulty part before contacting us; we may not need it back, and unannounced returns can be refused at customs.
Consumers in the EU and UK — 14-day right of withdrawal
If you are buying as a consumer, you may cancel within 14 days of receiving the goods without giving a reason. We refund the item price and the standard outbound freight within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or proof of return, whichever is earlier.
- Return freight is paid by you unless the goods were faulty or incorrectly supplied.
- Goods must come back unused, in their original packaging, with all accessories.
- This right does not apply to parts made to your specification, firmware programmed to your requirement, or sealed items that have been opened for installation.
Business purchases
Orders placed by a company for business use are not covered by the consumer withdrawal right. We still accept returns of unused standard catalogue items within 30 days, subject to a 15% restocking charge and return freight at your cost. Custom, programmed and cut-to-length items are non-returnable unless faulty.
Warranty
- 12 months from delivery against defects in materials and workmanship.
- Covers repair or replacement; it does not cover wear parts, damage from incorrect wiring, over-voltage, water ingress beyond the stated IP rating, or unauthorised modification.
- Warranty claims are handled by email with photos or a short video of the fault — we do not require you to ship the part back before we respond.
