Mattress Damage Terms
39.1. If your mattress arrives damaged you are entitled to cancel the purchase of your mattress and claim a full refund. We will collect your damaged mattress at our cost.
39.2. We will only accept a damage claim if the box was signed for as damaged on taking receipt of the mattress from our carrier and the item has not been removed from its plastic vacuum protective packaging.
39.3. Once the goods have been removed from the plastic vacuum packing we will not accept any claim for damage.
Mattress Fault – On Opening
39.4. We do not take any responsibility for any tares or rips to the cover caused by any sharp instrument that may have been used to remove the plastic vacuum packaging.
39.5. After removing the mattress from the vacuum packing and the mattress does not inflate within 3cm of the Length, Width or Depth after a 14 day period we will consider the item as faulty
39.6. We will collect and replace any faulty Mattress at our cost.
39.7. You have the right to cancel any faulty mattress and arrange a collection free of charge.
Right to cancel
40. You may cancel your order at any time and request a full refund.
41. We always strongly recommend you cancel your order before the goods have been despatched and before delivery costs are incurred.
42. Should you decide to cancel your order after the goods have been despatched there is a cancelation fee of £65. This fee is to cover the costs to deliver the item to you. If you paid a surcharge for your delivery, this unfortunately cannot be refunded. For the avoidance of doubt, should you receive your item damaged or defect. Our policy is to send out immediate replacement parts.
43. We do not cover the cost of sending the item back. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to return the goods in a re-saleable condition at the buyers cost.
44. If the packaging or goods return back to us damaged or unsaleable we reserve the right to claim back for the rework of the packaging or damaged parts.
Deduction for Goods supplied
46. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.
Timing of reimbursement
47. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
a. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
b. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
48. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
49. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
Returning Goods
50. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at Unit 6 Witton Business Park, Cartmel Road, Blackburn, BB2 2TA without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.
51. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
a. distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
b. sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.
