Returns
1. Change of Mind
1.1 Under the "Distance Selling Directive" a purchaser has the right to return goods within 7 days.
1.2 This option does not apply to Business Customers or computer software or in house sales.
1.3 If you wish to return goods to us under the "Distance Selling Directive" you must contact our Customer Service Department by sending an email to info@affordableintelligenthomes.com indicating this as the reason for your return of goods (see Return of Goods) and obtain an RMA (Returned Merchandise Authorisation) number. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to return the goods to us at their expense. The goods will be checked upon receipt and where they meet the requisite conditions a credit will be issued using the same method as used to pay for the goods. If the goods are found to have been damaged a credit will not be issued and the purchaser will be notified that the goods will be made available for collection. If the goods are then not collected within 30 days they will be disposed of without recompense.
2. Return of Goods

2.2 If you wish to return goods to Affordable Intelligent Homes you must first obtain an RMA (Returned Merchandise Authorisation) number from our Customer Service Department by email to info@affordableintelligenthomes.com.

It is your responsibility to return the goods to us at your own cost.
2.3 Goods returned to us must show the RMA number clearly on the outside of the packaging or they will not be accepted at our warehouse. They must be packaged securely and include all manuals, accessories, original packaging and the manufacturer's packaging must not be defaced. A charge will be applied to rectify any damage to the goods or packaging. Once payment or purchase order has been received for the order, a restocking charge of 20% of the order value will apply on all return items.
3. Manufacturer's Warranty

3.2 All warranties are subject to a back to base clause. It is the responsibility of the buyer to return the faulty device to our offices at their own cost for further details, please email our Customer Service Department at info@affordableintelligenthomes.com.

4.3 We will seek to resolve any dispute amicably and where that is not possible then through an agreed third party and where such effort does not reach an outcome satisfactory to both parties then it should be referred to the relevant
court of law.
