As set out on the header of these terms and conditions a delivery area is simply referring to "Mainland UK" If you are requesting a delivery to an area outside of mainland UK then we will do one of two things.

1) Use an alternative courier.

2) Contact customers if an alternative is not suitable due to size and weight.

The postcode areas which couriers consider not to be mainland UK are postcodes beginning by BT, IV, HS, JE,GY, IM, AB30-35, AB44-54, AB36-38, AB55-56, EIRE, FK17-21, G83,KA27-28, KW, PA20-99, PH17-32, PH34-48, PH33, PH49-99, TR21-25, ZE

For this reason all postcode areas listed above may not be on a next day delivery and will take slightly longer

Please note, any additional charges which you may be asked to pay is what we are charged by our courier companies we do not profit from courier costs and we do everything we can to avoid them such as using other couriers such as royal mail.

Risk and Property

As soon as we have delivered the Goods or services, you will be responsible for them. If you delay a delivery our responsibility for everything other than damage due to our negligence will end on the date we agree to deliver them, as set out in the contract.

Subject to the provisions of clause 9 and notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to you until we have received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods. Goods supplied to you are not for resale

Warrants and Liability

Terms and conditions of this contract do not affect any additional rights you may have under a manufacturer’s warranty/guarantee. These are rights given to you by the manufacturer in addition to your statutory rights. Any additional rights given to you by the manufacturer in respect of Goods purchased are not incorporated into this contract.

As a consumer you have statutory rights regarding the return of defective Goods and claims in respect of losses caused by any negligence on our part or our failure to carry out our obligations. The terms and conditions of this contract do not affect your statutory rights. For further information regarding these rights contact Trading Standards or Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

If there is a claim that a fault has occurred with a purchased product, the following points may come into effect

1) It is important to note, that normally any manufacturers warranties would be null and void if there is reason to believe that a fault was not caused by a manufacturers defect

2) As an example, the product was wired wrongly, the fault is caused by using an incompatible or faulty transformer or led driver where appropriate. Please note, warranties are only valid when the lighting product is used with the recommended LED Driver/Transformer. EG, if you purchase a LED Light from us and use another manufacturers LED Driver than your warranty will be null and void. The reason for this is because like any manufacturer we perform extensive testing to ensure that the lighting and relevant drivers are compatible. If you were to use our lighting products with another manufacturers LED Driver than we would of performed no quality checks on this LED Driver and therefore cannot be 100% that the driver is to a satisfactory standard.

Please note, we adopt this policy and believe this to be fair and in line with most other leading manufacturer's policies.

3) Unless a product states it is dimmable, it is assumed that it is not. Therefore if you use a lighting product in conjunction with a dimmer it can cause failure or significantly reduce the life of a LED product. Therefore your warranty would be voided. This includes using a dimmer to just switch the lighting on/off.

Please note where dimmers are recommended on some product pages, it's important to note these are specialist 12-24v DC dimmers. Therefore standard 230v dimmers will not work with the products and will cause failure to the lighting.

4) Corrosion & Salidity - Unless specified on the product descriptions or data sheets, corrosion & salidity is excluded from our product warranty. If a warranty is giving again corrosion & salidity we will very clearly document this within the product information.

If an item is returned to us and deemed not faulty. Or we believe that the fault has been caused by the customer, then we will charge the customer any costs associated in returning the product back to them.

Faulty goods

We have a legal duty to supply the goods in conformity with the contract. 

Upon delivery the goods will:

a. be of satisfactory quality

b. be reasonably fit for any particular relevant purpose

It is very important to note that unless specified otherwise on each individual product page (on our website) that the minimum warranty is 12 months. Please assume that the warranty of the product(s) purchased will be 12 months unless otherwise specified on the product page. 

All product warranties supplied are known as a "return to base" warranty. This means that if any item which you have purchase goes defective during the warranty period that you must return to goods to our warehouse for inspection. 

Upon receiving the goods, we are within our rights to either repair or replace the goods, at our discretion. If we request that you return the goods to base, we will cover the cost of shipping with our chosen couriers for both legs. EG: Delivery to us and return delivery back to the consumer. 

Limitation Of Liability

Where any court or arbitrator determines that any part of our contract is, for whatever reason, unenforceable, the Seller shall be liable for all loss or damage suffered by the Buyer but in an amount not exceeding the contract price/order value paid to SimpleLighting.co.uk.

Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed so as to limit or exclude the liability of the Seller for death or personal injury as a result of the Seller’s negligence or that of its employees or agents.

Business Sales

Any orders placed on behalf of your business will NOT fall under the terms of Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 as it will be a business to business contract.

For full terms and conditions, please visit this page: https://www.simplelighting.co.uk/trade-account-terms-conditions

All sales are classed as final, we will not issue any refunds on goods ordered by you on behalf of your company unless faulty.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: TIME LIMIT FOR NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS

You are asked to examine the goods as soon as reasonably possible after delivery. Any claim by you based on any defect in the quality or condition (including missing items or components) of the Goods or their failure to correspond with specification must (whether or not delivery is refused by you) be notified to the company within 5 days from the date of delivery.

Where a valid claim in respect of Goods delivered is notified to us within 5 days of the delivery date

• Reject the Goods and receive a full refund.
• Or have the Goods (or the part in question) replaced free of charge.

Returns

At Simple Lighting we always strive to deliver quality products and we want you to be delighted with your purchase.

However, for your peace of mind, if for any reason you are not happy with your purchase or you simply want to cancel your order you can do, as long as you notify us in writing by email or by letter. We will then email you a return authorisation form which must be completed and included with the return.

The policy works as follows;

• Return to us the items within 14 days of receiving your order. We will offer a full refund to you minus any postage costs incurred by you.

Any item must be returned within its original packing, unused. Meaning, you can take the product out of the box and check the item but you must not install the item.

Once we receive your order back into our warehouse we will refund your order back onto your chosen payment method within 7 days.

The only condition to this is that if the item purchased is not faulty it needs to be retail boxed, new and ready to sell to the next customer.

However, our full range of LED tapes is excluded from our usual 14-day return policy, this is because we cut the product to your requirements on order, therefore personalised to your requirements and the item could not be resold without financial loss to the company.
