Faulty or Incorrect Products
If the return is due to:

An incorrect item supplied, or

Any error on our part,

If you wish to exchange a product for a different model, size or variation, we may ask you to return the original item and place a new order, subject to stock availability.
9. Inspection of Returned Goods
All returned items are inspected upon arrival.
Once the inspection has been completed, we will notify you whether your return has been approved and explain the next steps, including any refund or replacement where applicable.
10. Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other applicable consumer protection legislation.
If goods are faulty, not as described or not of satisfactory quality, you may have additional legal remedies beyond those described in this policy.
