REPAIRS & RETURNS PROCEDURE
As part of our returns process, we may request proof of sale for all goods sold, irrespective of the warranty period, to facilitate the evaluation and processing of returns and warranty claims. Proof of sale is the receipt or invoice issued to you by Active Connections Group Ltd or an authorised reseller at the time of purchase. Please retain a copy of your proof of sale as it may be required to verify the purchase date and warranty coverage for any returns, replacements, or repairs. Failure to provide satisfactory proof of sale may result in delays or rejection of return requests.
Acceptable forms of proof of sale may include, but are not limited to: • Original purchase receipt • Invoice or sales order confirmation • Order confirmation email
Please ensure that the proof of sale clearly shows the following information: • Date of purchase • Item name or product description • Purchase price or transaction total • Name and contact details of the seller.
The majority of items returned for repair are simple to fix, so before contacting us for a returns number, could you ensure that you carry out some simple checks on the product. These checks include fuses, cables, lamps, connectors, blocked filters & nozzles, menu & dipswitch settings.
If you do still need to return the item, try to use the original packaging wherever possible, as this reduces the chances of transit damage. If this is not available, then please ensure that you return an item with suitable packaging, bubble wrap is not sufficient. As a general rule you cannot over pack an item. We cannot accept responsibility for items that arrive damaged due to insufficient or inadequate packaging. Any additional parts needed to rectify transit damage will not be covered by the warranty. We may levy a Repacking Charge if we believe that an item may become damaged on its subsequent return to you.
Any item that is returned to us for credit or refund must contain all items originally included with the product, such as remote controls, cables, instructions, manuals, leads, brackets, and knobs, especially where required to make the product function. Credits will not be issued should parts be missing, and the item will be returned to you, a Carriage Charge may be levied to return the item.
Some items are not covered by our warranty; these include blown lamps, fuses and triacs also blocked fogger nozzles and incorrectly user-adjusted controls such as dipswitches, menu settings and amplifier parallel/bridge switches. Should a return only require a lamp, fuse, triac, nozzle unblocking or adjustment to user adjusted controls to make the unit function, the repair will become chargeable. Our fog and haze machines only use high quality, water-based fluids recommended by the manufacturer. Other fluids may cause clogging and void the warranty. Should a return prove to have no fault, then a “no fault found” charge will be levied, and you may be liable to pay for carriage to return the item.
Please ensure that faults are described in as much detail as possible, so that our engineers can readily locate the fault, to ensure a speedy turnaround. Faulty, dead or not working are not satisfactory fault descriptions. Please clearly mark the outer carton with the returns number included in that parcel. Should any parcel arrive at our warehouse without a returns number marked on the outer carton it will be refused.
The warranty is for 12/24/36 months, depending on product, starting from the day that you receive the goods.
