Returns & Replacements
I have changed my mind regarding the purchase and require a refund? (During the Cancellation Period)
We will only refund a purchase within the first fourteen days beginning the day after the day on which the goods are received and applies to stocked items only.
The Cancellation Period excludes custom made, special order goods or items that have been fitted or used.
We do NOT refund purchases after fourteen days.
What happens if my item is not working correctly?
It is extremely rare for a product to arrive to a customer faulty, but it can happen.
This is why we ask that all products purchased from ModYourConnect in accordance with the guarantee are fitted by a qualified mechanic or garage. Evidence of this may be required.
The customer must inform us of faulty goods upon arrival.
Once we have been notified we ask that the item is sent back to us or the manufacturer where applicable as they will have the correct equipment to test the product.
Once received the item will be logged and security checked and then passed to the manufacturer for inspection and testing. The manufacturer’s decision is FINAL.
Do you notify me when you receive my item?
Yes. We will contact you by email or telephone when:-
the item has been received,
when the item has been inspected,
the result, and
if a new item has been dispatched.
How long will it take to receive a replacement item?
If an item is deemed ‘faulty’ we aim to have a replacement sent out to you within seven working days from receipt of the item, but this is entirely down to the manufacturer’s inspection time and whether the goods have to be custom made.
We cannot force the manufacturer to work any quicker or bump the item up in their queue, so please do not ask us.
Their decision is FINAL.
Can I have a refund instead of a replacement for the faulty item? (After the Cancellation Period)
No. We will only exchange the item for the same product originally ordered. (Or like for like basis)
What if a replacement item is not available?
We will offer the customer a full refund of the price paid exclusing any shipping charges.
Will my postage be refunded if I send an item back to you?
No. We do not refund customers return postage. The customer is responsible for the return cost.
Am I responsible for the return of the goods in a satisfactory condition?
Yes. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations Act the customer will be under a duty to return the goods to us and also to take reasonable care of them. This duty ends when the customer (at their own expense) has returned the goods to us. This includes any original packaging such as cardboard boxes and included accessories that the product was supplied in or with. These are required so that we can resell the product to another customer or return to the manufacturer.
The customer is also under an obligation to return the goods to us if they wish to cancel (stocked items only).
Should the customer refuse or unreasonably fail to comply with a request for a return of the goods, then the customers obligation to retain or take reasonable care of the goods continues until the goods are safely delivered back to us.
Do I pay to receive my replacement item?
No – If the item was faulty you do NOT need to pay for postage.
