THE FULL COST OF THE SERVICE CALL WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT IF CONTRACTED ENGINEERS FIND NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAULT WITH YOUR PRODUCT. This does not affect any statutory rights that you may have.

Product Guarantees
TFT LCD Monitors and Televisions
The screen on TFT displays is made up of thousands of tiny pixels. A 15" flat-screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 for example has 786423 pixels. Each pixel comprises three sub-pixels (red, green and blue) so on the 15" above, there are almost 2.4 million dots in total. Behind each pixel is a transistor. When a transistor fails it manifests itself as a bright, dark or coloured dot on the screen that stands out from the rest.Today's production techniques unfortunately cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display and buyers should be aware of the possibility of imperfections (in the form of a few isolated constantly lit or unlit pixels) before choosing to purchase a TFT monitor or television.Due to this, there is indeed a commonly accepted 'tolerance level' by which TFTs may display such imperfections (or stuck pixels) without being classified as faulty. As such, we can only take back displays as faulty for refund/repair IF the number of stuck pixels exceeds the manufacturer's guidelines.The number required for the monitor or television to be classed as faulty does vary between manufacturers. Please check with the relevant manufacturer as to their ‘tolerance level’

Cancellation of Orders:

On-Line Purchase Returns Policy
Non-faulty Returns
You are entitled cancel this contract within 7 days from delivery of the goods for a full credit or refund less any applicable delivery charges. The goods must be unused and ‘as new’ in their original box and packaging including all manuals and accessories. You must notify us within 7 days from date of delivery and we will issue you with a Returns Authorisation Number and instructions on how to return the goods from the original delivery address within 14 days at your cost. Goods received back ‘as new’ but incomplete with missing components and accessories – the cost of the accessories will be charged to your credit card. Any goods not returned in an ‘as new’ condition will either be returned back to you at your cost, or may be subject to a charge, which will be deducted from your refund.
Packaging
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that returns are adequately packaged to avoid damage during transportation.
Damaged products cannot be accepted for change over or return for refund.
• The product must be correctly packaged in its original packaging. Failing that, adequate alternative packaging must be used.
• The product must be firmly held in the correct orientation; see arrows on packaging (Flat TV above 26” must be transported vertical – otherwise the screen may crack under its own weight)
• The product must not be loose in its box, because damage can be caused as it rubs against packing, components or accessories.
• Components and accessories must not be loose in the box and must not press on each other or the main product, since movement / impact / pressure can cause damage.
• There must be nothing rubbing on, and no pressure on, glass screens; particularly from stands, plugs or other accessories with sharp edges.

Faulty Products upon delivery.
If your product is faulty upon delivery, please contact our customer support helpline within 7 days from the date of delivery. You will then be offered an exchange, full refund or repair, whichever you prefer. If you require a refund or an exchange, we will then arrange to collect the product from your home at our cost. If your product is found not to be faulty then your refund will be deducted the cost of collection / delivery. If the condition of the product is not ‘as new’ or there are missing accessories then we reserve the right to impose a charge to cover costs. Missing accessories will also be charged to you.

Faulty Products after 7 days from date of delivery.

Recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
From 1 July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations will allow members of the public to deposit old electrical and electronic items at recycling sites across the UK, free of charge.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment waste is, increasing by at least 5% each year. The public dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of waste every year in the UK, and landfill sites are now approaching full capacity. Much of this waste can be recycled, to make new consumer goods. The WEEE regulations aim to reduce the quantity of electrical and electronic items disposed of in this way, and will encourage everyone to play a part in protecting the environment for future generations.
As retailers of electrical and electronic products, we fully support this regulation, and in anticipation we have joined together with some of the UK’s leading electrical retailers to create and fund a new body - the Distributor Take-Back (DTS) scheme - which will help develop a new UK recycling network for waste electrical products. Over the next three years, the scheme will make available more than £10 million to establish and upgrade recycling facilities across the UK, so that customers can conveniently recycle old electrical appliances.
To find your nearest recycling sites for waste electrical and electronic products, contact your local council, or visit www.recycle-more.co.uk and type your postcode into the recycling bank locator.
