Delivery / Installation

When inviting our staff into your property please also consider: 

Delivering bulky product can be awkward, please clear our access route to your door and through your property. (Move vehicles / furniture / ornaments etc)

Our drivers wear safety shoes with good grips, these can pick up grit and dirt that may be walked into homes, our vans carry disposable shoe protectors, please ask our drivers to use them if you have any concerns for floor coverings. 

Whilst we undertake to take all reasonable care, at times when manoeuvring we may drag, slide or push product. Polished surfaces, carpet or hard floors they stand on may mark, cushion flooring can sometimes lift / tear. Please aid us by laying down sheets to protect vulnerable carpets & surfaces prior to our arrival and knowing your property better than us please take the time to point out to our delivery staff where they need to take extra care.

If you have opted for our installation service, this is for connection to your existing, adjacent supply in apparent good order and fitting of facia panels for integrated appliances. Any more involved carpentry, gas, electrical or plumbing work will incur additional charges.

Gas appliances in very small kitchens (30 cubic metres or less = Floor area 3mtrs x 5mtrs approx) or kitchens with no direct exterior door may need an air brick fitting by law for your safety, our fitter will advise you but this additional work if required would be chargeable and isn't part of the standard installation.

NB. It may also be necessary to turn off your water/electricity/gas supply when installing kitchen appliances, please check your stop tap works, turn off computers etc and be prepared for this. Other problems can sometimes show at this time i.e. if the ignition / thermocouple on your central heating boiler is faulty it may not restart if the gas supply has been interrupted, whilst we will do all we can to restart this for you, this is due to a fault within the boiler and is not caused by our turning the gas off. 

Plumbing can be disturbed by disconnecting / re-connecting product, we recommend you check after we have finished for leaks, minor leaks may not be noticeable straight away so please check again at regular intervals and let us know immediately should a leak start to occur

Please help us and carry out any preparation before we arrive, if you are able and it is safe to do so, please also disconnect and remove old product, it would be appreciated if you would provide a smoke free environment for the duration of our visit to your home. 

7. RISK AND TITLE 

7.1 The risk in the Product(s) will pass to you from the time of delivery.

7.2 Ownership of the product will only pass to you on the later of either delivery or when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Product(s), including delivery charges. 

7.3 By signing for delivery of the Product(s) it is an acknowledgement of acceptance of the Product(s). 

8. RIGHT TO CANCEL AND RETURN PRODUCTS

You have various rights to cancel an order & return goods to us as set out below: 

If a product is received in a broken or defective condition upon delivery please reject & contact us immediately for assistance. 

For normal stock lines (Were the order is cancelled within 6 weeks of being placed) if you cancel before collecting / taking delivery (You must reject any attempt to deliver the goods) then you will receive a full refund of all monies paid (Beyond 6 weeks of holding stock for you: a 10% per month charge will be retained as a stock holding fee). For special orders placed where we have obtained none stock lines into our stock for you especially – from the order date the manufacturers restocking fee will apply if we wish to return the product ourselves and are able to do so for credit, however some brands don’t accept returns in which case  a reasonable cancellation fee will be charged to enable us to sell the item at a discounted price - through to no refund if the item is a very specialized item that we would struggle to sell to anyone else. We may defer paying a refund until after we have managed to sell the goods if we are unsure how easy it will be, you could of course take delivery and sell the goods on yourself. 

After accepting the goods:

We are unable to accept back the following types of items unless unopened or faulty;

Audio or Video recordings - Computer software - Recording media - DVD discs - Personal care appliances (Such as shavers & hair care)

If your purchase was made by a visit to a store please see the next paragraph as this paragraph doesn’t apply to your purchase. If you placed your order using our website online or by phone without first seeing the product then your order is subject to your rights of cancellation pursuant to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations. These give you the option to cancel the order within 14 days of taking delivery and obtain a full refund where you have not unpacked the goods or only opened them very carefully to inspect them to the extent you would reasonably expect to be able to inspect them had you visited the store, if you have damaged or used the goods beyond this then you will been deemed by us to have accepted the goods and you should read the next paragraph. If you do wish to exercise your rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations then return would be at your own expense as detailed below under  “For all goods supplied” and you may exercise this right by writing to us or by emailing. You must notify us within 14 days from the date of delivery and obtain proof that you sent notice within this time retaining this proof until the matter is resolved. Following receipt of your notice we will attempt to contact you within 2 working days to advise you how to proceed. 

If you placed your order in store (or after 14 days of delivery when purchased online) and wish to return goods within 28 days of delivery we may charge a *25% handling fee if we agree to take the goods back, this charge will include a reasonable fee for sales time/processing your order/delivery costs. 

The only exception to these is where you have requested us to obtain goods especially for you unless the goods are faulty our suppliers restocking policy will apply or we may charge up to 100% restocking fee i.e. if a special order item is not something we will be able to resell we won’t want it at any price if we cannot return it to the supplier for credit, we will be as fair as we can but need to protect ourselves from being taken advantage of.

For all goods supplied they must be returned; as new** in original condition with all accessories at your own expense, if you request collection then we shall be entitled to charge you a reasonable fee for such collection, our collection charge will be based on £1.50 per mile (75p each way) from our postcode starting point with a minimum £39 charge

After inspection – once checked by our workshop - we shall arrange reimbursement

 *The handling fee on this page is just a guide and may be reduced if the product returned is still sealed (or has been opened very carefully to inspect) or may be increased at our reasonable discretion should the product be found to have been marked/damaged or incomplete in line with making the product saleable again, the two extremes being we may decline a return if we would struggle to re-sell a returned item - through to no fee if the product is found to be faulty and we can return it for credit ourselves (Not through misuse)

If a installation fails because the customer did not inform us of any reason why it may not be successful e.g wrong size appliance or taps seized so cant turn the water off, we reserve the right to make a failed connection charge.

We will be as fair as we can, these conditions are here to fall back on and protect us from unreasonable requests, they do not affect your statutory rights.

**As new is defined as in the original box and packaging undamaged.

Where any refund is due, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than: (a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Products supplied. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the Products back or if there is a dispute.

You must send back the Products without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of the Contract to us. It is your responsibility to take reasonable care of the Product. Products must be returned in reasonable condition along with any packaging, manuals, accessories, free items and any other components.

We will refund you on the credit or debit card that you used to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product then we reserve the right to refund you in vouchers. 

9. GUARANTEE / DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

9.1 Where the Product is received in a broken or defective condition, please email or phone stating your invoice number, Product to be returned, date of purchase and reason for return. Please note that we will not accept the return of any Product unless such return has been authorised in advance. 

9.2 If you have returned a Product that is defective, damaged in transit or not as described, we will refund the price of the Product, together with any applicable Hylands delivery charge with no further liability to you unless the cause is in dispute.

9.3 Where the Product is faulty within 30 days or not as described and you have notified us in accordance with these Terms, we shall refund to you the price of the Product including any delivery charged by Hylands with no further liability to you. However, if an appliance is not faulty, or the problem is found to have been caused by external factors, the manufacturer will not accept our return for credit to them. Therefore, if there is any doubt, we will first require you to accept an engineer's inspection to confirm if it is indeed a fault or not & to provide an uplift number if the engineer agrees with you so we in turn can return it for credit without dispute. Please also note that modern appliances can operate differently and things do change, what some consumers may interpret as a fault can in fact be normal.

NB. Manufacturers may charge a call out fee if there is no fault found or if the problem is caused by external factors, this is now common practice to deter consumers from calling them out without first being sure they have made all the right checks themselves. This is beyond our control, please read the instruction booklet carefully. Hylands may agree to call out to see the problem, however, this will purely be a goodwill gesture, if we cannot help or are unsure, we will still require an engineer uplift number as confirmation of fault.

If you feel you are just not happy with the product we may take it back, but a restocking fee will apply to cover our time and allow us to resell the product as used. 

9.4 New products supplied are guaranteed in line with the manufactures warranty card (supplied with the product) usually for a minimum of 12 months from the date of sale. Unless specifically stated most warranties only cover domestic use. 

9.5 Any extended maintenance offered by the manufacturer (free or otherwise) must be registered you should ensure you receive and retain any policy documents as proof of this cover, we may have no record of these promotions between you and the manufacturer directly or indeed know if you received proof of registration should you ask us at a later date. 

9.6 If the goods become faulty within the warranty period, tell us immediately; you may be entitled to a free repair / replacement / some or all of your money back (Usually at the manufacturers discretion) Your contract is with Hylands and we will do what is required under the law (Consumer Rights Act 2015). However please note, many manufacturers insist on carrying out repairs to their products under the warranty which is also better for the environment than scrapping everything, but please also be aware they may charge you should the problem not be covered by their warranty (i.e. incorrect use, misuse, no fault found or a problem due to external causes). Please read the instruction booklet carefully. 

9.7 If you have purchased an extended maintenance contract from Hylands Ltd and the goods become faulty tell us immediately and we will arrange a repair under the terms of the cover. 

9.8 Your statutory rights: Whether or not you purchase an extended maintenance cover, consumers have various statutory rights which apply to the purchase of electrical goods. These include the right to claim for a repair or replacement for up to six years if your new electrical goods WHEN PURCHASED were not of satisfactory quality or fit for their purpose. Within the first six months, the burden of proof is on the retailer. After this you would have to prove that the goods had the fault WHEN SOLD TO YOU. Further information can be obtained from your local trading standards department. If a manufacturing fault is identified the same conditions as if the product was under warranty will apply except in the case of a refund where a pro rata refund may be made to reflect the amount of time you have had use of the item.

9.9 In all cases if you have a problem with goods purchased from us please come and talk to us. We do not service everything we sell, manufacturers have separate service agents/procedures, however we will still assist wherever possible should third parties subsequently let you down.
