Right to Cancel
You may cancel your order at any point from the time of placing the order up to seven working days after the day you receive your goods. This upholds your right under European Law to a "cooling off" period. To exercise this right please notify us in writing (by e-mail, fax or letter), within seven working days from the day you receive your order, of your wish to cancel your order. If the goods have already been sent you will need to return them to us in their original packaging at your own cost. Once we receive the goods we will process a refund for you as quickly as possible.
Please note that you have a duty to look after the goods you wish to return. They must be UNUSED and in good condition when we receive them. In particular this means we will NOT be able to accept returned tents that have been pitched, even inside, as this renders them second-hand and unsellable. If at our discression we decide to accept returns on pitched or unpackaged tents then the maximun refund that will apply is 50% after a handling fee of 50% has been applied to the value of goods after actual postage costs are deducted
REMEMBER!
WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT RETURNED GOODS IF THEY ARE STILL OF MERCHANDISABLE QUALITY. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNED GOODS IF THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN WORN OR USED.
"But what if I discover that they are faulty?"
Don't worry, if on receipt of your goods you discover they are faulty or damaged please send an e-mail as soon as possible to sales@lightningleisure.com We will either refund the goods, replace or repair them or issue a credit note depending on the circumstances.
Returns Procedure
If you need to return an item we want to make it as easy and painless as possible for you as possible. In order to do this we need your help, so please take the following steps so that we can process your package on its return.
1) Either e-mail or phone us and explain the situation.
2) Package the item appropriately and write your order number on the outside.
3) Enclose a brief note explaining the situation and what action you would like us to take. Remember to write your order number on the note so that we can identify your goods.
4) Remember to place a new order on our website if you require a replacement for an unsuitable item.
If you follow these 4 simple steps we will be able to process your return quickly and efficiently.
Returns under the relevant regulations legally required have to be instigated within the time period within the regulations (14 days at time of writing). Any returns after the legally required time period are not covered by the regulations and the carriage fee originally incurred by us sending items to you will not be refunded as it is a cost we have incurred and we are taking the return after the required period as a gesture of goodwill when we have no obligation to do so.
Remember, we post out and receive many packages a week. Therefore it is impossible for us to process anonymous packages turning up with no order number written on the packaging and no explanatory note enclosed.
