Delivery, Returns and Cancellations

OUR DELIVERY POLICY

All orders you place will be despatched via royal mail or DPD and will usually reach you within 7 working days. Bespoke products may take longer to arrive. When placing your order, we will advise you of the service we are using to send your parcel. You will receive an automated email from our systems when your order has been despatched. Taira Technology complies with all trading legislation covering consumer protection, distance selling and electronic commerce regulations. Therefore, you have the right to cancel your order before we have despatched the goods or within fourteen days of receipt. Once we have received the items back in their original condition we will refund you within 14 working days. There are exceptions to returning some items, so please carefully check the full description of the product to check any special conditions that may apply.

OUR RETURNS POLICY

THIS RETURNS POLICY APPLIES ONLY TO CONSUMERS

1.1 By law, we must provide Products that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined (unless we have made you aware of any differences). These rules also apply to any digital content contained within the Product.

1.2 If any Product you have bought from us does not comply, please contact us within 30 days as soon as reasonably possible to tell us about the problem, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement.

1.3 You have the following rights:

1.3.1 Beginning on the day that you receive the Product you have 30 calendar days to reject the Product and to receive a full refund if the Product does not conform or is not suitable.

1.3.2 If you do not wish to reject the Product, or if the 30 calendar day rejection period has expired and the Product develops a fault, you may ask us to repair the Product or provide a replacement. We will pay all costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you.

1.3.3 If repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, we may, instead, offer you the alternative of a replacement or a full refund.

1.3.4 If you request a repair or replacement during the 30 calendar day rejection period, that period will be suspended while we carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired goods. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 calendar days.

1.3.5 If, after a repair or replacement, the Product still does not conform (or if we cannot repair it, or have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may have the right either to keep the Product, at a reduced price, or to reject it in exchange for a refund. Such a refund may REFLECT the use you have made of the product.

1.3.6 If you exercise the final right to reject the goods more than six months after you have received the Product, we may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the product.

1.4 The above rights will not apply if:

1.4.1 we told you about the fault(s), damage or other problems with the Product before your purchase; or

1.4.2 if the use you want to make of the Product is not the use it was designed for; or

1.4.3 if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage.

1.5 To return a Product to us for any reason under this Returns Policy, please contact us to arrange for a collection or return. We will take full responsibility for the costs of returning the Product providing you follow the instructions we have given you for the return. Please note that we only cover return costs if the product is defective, not fit for purpose or not as described – you must pay the postage for all other returns. If you do not have sufficient proof of posting (we suggest that you use a tracked service) we cannot be held responsible if we do not receive the product.

1.6 Any refund will be paid to you, using the same method by which you paid us and within 14 days of our offering that refund.
