Delivery

Delivery of the Goods shall be made by us or our carrier to the address for delivery shown in the Order Form. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the Goods left if you are out when we deliver.

If you choose to have your order re-delivered to an alternative address after the order has been dispatched. This will be treated as a new instruction therefore we will levy a further delivery cost of £4.95. We reserve the right to reject any order which is being delivered to an address other than the billing address, this is to protect ourselves against fraud.

If we are able to make delivery in advance of the given date we will contact you.

If the order is a multiple order and we are unable to make delivery of the whole order but are able to deliver part we will contact you, informing you of this, and delivery will be on a mutually agreed date. In this instance delivery will be said to be made in instalments. Each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and any failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these conditions, or any claim by you in respect of any one or more instalments will not entitle you to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated.

If we fail for any reason within our control to fully/partially deliver your Goods any reimbursement shall be no more than the price of the Goods, together with any delivery and/or reasonable return costs.

Either party is entitled to cancel the contract in respect of non-performance of obligations in relation to delivery. If cancelled we will refund you any monies already paid by you and any reasonable return costs incurred by you.

Carrier

The vast majority of orders will be delivered by parcelforce. However we may from time to time without notification use other couriers such as Royal Mail, Citylink & DPD. Once the order is dispatched the parcel will be fully insured for the full value of the goods. Our responsibility for everything other than damage due to our negligence or due to a manufacturing design or design fault will cease upon delivery.

We will also attempt to always notify you of your parcel's tracking number in advance. However due to increasing business demands this may not always be possible. If for any reason we do not, you may contact us and we will send this number to you within 24 hours.

As setout on the header of these terms and conditions a delivery area is simply refering to "Mainland UK" If you are requesting a delivery to an area outside of mainland UK than we will do one of two things.

1) Use an alternative courier, which would be royal mail.

2) Contact customers if royal mail is not suitable due to size and weight.

The postcode areas which couriers consider not to be mainland UK are postcodes beginning by BT, IV, HS, JE,GY, IM, AB30-35, AB44-54, AB36-38, AB55-56, EIRE, FK17-21, G83,KA27-28, KW, PA20-99, PH17-32, PH34-48, PH33, PH49-99, TR21-25, ZE

For this reason all postcode areas listed below may not be on a next day delivery and will take slightly longer

Please note, any additional charges which you may be asked to pay is what we are charged by our courier companies we do not profit from courier costs and we do everything we can to avoid them such as using other couriers such as royal mail.

Risk and Property

Returns

At Simple Lighting we always strive to deliver quality products and we want you to be delighted with your purchase.

However, for your peace of mind we are a member of the Safebuy online code of conduct. This means that if for any reason you are not happy with your purchase or you simply want to cancel your order you can do, as long as you notify us in writing by email or by letter. We will then email you a return authorisation form which must be completed and included with the return.

We are very proud to offer our customers a 365 day return policy. This means that you can return your purchase back to us any time within a year of purchase and we will refund you. (Minus any postal costs)

Any item must be returned within its original packing, unused. Meaning, you can take the product out of the box and check the item but you must not install the item.

Once we receive your order back into our warehouse we will refund your order back onto your chosen payment method within 7 days.

The only condition to this, is that if the item purchased is not faulty it needs to be retail boxed, new and ready to sell onto the next customer.

However, certain items such as our range of LED tapes may be excluded from our usual 365 day return policy, this is because we cut the product to your requirements on order and the item could not be resold without financial loss to the company. If any product is excluded we will advice you on the product description. However we will still offer you a standard 12 month manufacturers warranty in the unlikely event that a fault was to occur.

Return Exclusions

SOME PRODUCTS WHERE STATED ARE EXCLUDED FROM OUR USUAL 365 DAY RETURN POLICY. WE WILL CLEARLY STATE ON THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IF THE PRODUCT IS EXCLUDED.
