A) The goods must be unused and 'as new' in their original packaging including all
manuals and accessories and the packaging must be in pristine condition.
"Unused" means unused, it doesn't mean opened, used for a few days and then
re-boxed.
B) Any items with broken security seals or have been unpacked from their original
packaging will be deemed "used" and will not qualify for a refund or credit.

the goods IN WRITING (including by email). We will acknowledge this by email and
your goods must be received by us within 14 days of this acknowledgement.

Returned goods will be credited up to the invoiced amount less the original carriage charge, subject to the above conditions.
