Returns Policy – Returned Items falling within the Warranty Period
If a product is delivered faulty or a fault occurs within the first 14 days from the delivered date (and the fault is covered under the manufacturer’s guarantee) then we will collect the item and have it returned to us, where we will inspect and if found faulty, return the item to the manufacturer for repair or replacement. If a fault occurs after the first 14 day period from delivery, then it is the consumer’s responsibility to return the item to us, where we will inspect and if found faulty return the item to the manufacturer for repair. Once repaired, the item will be returned to the consumer at no extra cost.
All returned goods must be returned inadequate packaging. Card Cutters will not be responsible for any damage that is incurred to goods that are not packaged in the original packaging that the goods were shipped in. If you do not have the original packaging, you will need to obtain some from other sources and ensure that the returning goods are protected against the rigours of courier transit. Please also send the package via a recorded delivery so that a signature is required on delivery.
If the returned item is found to be not faulty and the error is down to incorrect usage or operator error, the customer will be liable for the carriage costs of the goods back to us and also for returning the product back to the customer. Any engineer/inspection fees may also be charged. This must be paid before the goods are returned to the customer.
Please ensure that all goods returned have a copy of the original delivery note/proof of purchase and stating the full reasons for return. Failure to do this may slow down any repair or refund.

If you have received an item which you have decided you do not actually wish to keep for whatever reason, then you must inform us within 7 working days, in writing. The Distance Selling Regulations (DSR) allows you to return the product but it must be in the original packaging and also, in the condition in which you received it when we receive the item back, in other words, in brand new condition and not showing signs of any kind of usage. The goods to be returned must be done so at your own expense.

We shall refund you, within 30 days (less any costs), the price you paid for any goods returned, PROVIDED THAT the goods are returned by you/collected by us at your own cost and received by us in as a new & unused condition.
