This obligation applies before as well as after the consumer has given notice of cancellation. The 7 day provision is designed to ensure that the goods can be sold as brand new again. The consumer will be wholly responsible under this regulation for the cost of the return delivery and all damages of the goods. We deem reasonable care as meaning that the goods are in near perfect condition with all of the box and packaging intact and the consumer has a duty of care for the products during the cancellation period. All accessories must be unopened including cabinets, remotes, batteries and all formats of leads. Products that have not been agreed by the Customer Service Department for return will not be accepted and be refused. Goods returned outside of the statutory 7 day period will be subject to a minimum 25% handling fee off the original purchase price or returned back to you.
