Online Customer Orders - Distance Selling - cancellation rights and returns
Customers under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 who wish to cancel their order should do so within 14 days, commencing the day after the day of delivery. Cancellation should be in writing. The delivery costs and safe return of these products are at the customer’s expense and within a reasonable time scale. The products will only be refunded under the distance selling regulations if the item or items are returned complete in the original packaging and undamaged all boxes packaging must be in a resaleable condition. If the product arrives back in an unsaleable condition the company will deem the item to be damaged and no refund will be given. Goods that arrive damaged will need to be collected within 7 days at the customer's expense or the items will be disposed of and disposable costs will be sent to the customer for payment.
Customers must ensure these products are securely packaged to suit the method of transport chosen. The supplier does offer a chargeable collection service. The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 provide that customers are under a statutory duty to take reasonable care of the goods. If this statutory duty is breached (for example, by not keeping the goods safe and in a good condition whilst in a customer’s possession or by returning goods to us via an uninsured delivery and subsequently those goods are damaged during the inward delivery) we have the right to take action against the customer under the regulations for breach of the statutory duty.
Customised Bespoke Made to Measure Products
We will not accept cancellation or return on customised, made-to-measure or bespoke products as these products are exempt from the right to cancel under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
Examples: Customised, made-to-measure or bespoke products are those that are specially manufactured, altered or modified to your specific requirements i.e. fitted furniture with colour/size/shape variations or whirlpool baths customised to include hydrotherapy lights or air spa systems. Another example is where you have ordered a regular bath and then ordered a whirlpool system which requires the bath to be drilled or modified.
Customised tap holes – Where you have ordered a bath and prior to delivery requested our special drilling service for 1, 2, 3, 4 tap holes or specific hole positioning. All products that are customised, made-to-measure or bespoke and have been modified to your specific personal needs cannot be cancelled under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
In-Store Customers
When a customer places an order in person in the showroom, whether or not subsequently confirmed by telephone, there is no legal requirement on the company to accept returns, offer an exchange or a refund for items that are fault-free and conform to the Consumer Rights Act 2015. However, once an order has been placed Bathroom City will review a return, exchange or cancellation on a case-by-case basis. If the company gives a concession we will make a standard charge of 25% re-stocking fee plus delivery charges, where applicable.
