Product Guarantees
TFT LCD Monitors and Televisions
The screen on TFT displays is made up of thousands of tiny pixels. A 15"
flat-screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 for example has 786423 pixels. Each
pixel comprises three sub-pixels (red, green and blue) so on the 15" above,
there are almost 2.4 million dots in total. Behind each pixel is a transistor.
When a transistor fails it manifests itself as a bright, dark or coloured dot
on the screen that stands out from the rest.Today's production techniques unfortunately
cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display and buyers should be
aware of the possibility of imperfections (in the form of a few isolated constantly
lit or unlit pixels) before choosing to purchase a TFT monitor or television.Due
to this, there is indeed a commonly accepted 'tolerance level' by which TFTs
may display such imperfections (or stuck pixels) without being classified as
faulty. As such, we can only take back displays as faulty for refund/repair
IF the number of stuck pixels exceeds the manufacturer's guidelines.The number
required for the monitor or television to be classed as faulty does vary between
manufacturers. Please check with the relevant manufacturer as to their ‘tolerance
level’
Cancellation of Orders:
Returns
Policy
Non-faulty Returns
You are entitled cancel this contract within 7 days from delivery of the goods
for a full credit or refund less any applicable delivery charges. The goods
must be unused and ‘as new’ in their original box and packaging
including all manuals and accessories. You must notify us within 7 days from
date of delivery and we will issue you with a Returns Authorisation Number and
instructions on how to return the goods from the original delivery address within
14 days at your cost. Goods received back ‘as new’ but incomplete
with missing components and accessories – the cost of the accessories
will be charged to your credit card. Any goods not returned in an ‘as
new’ condition will either be returned back to you at your cost, or may
be subject to a charge, which will be deducted from your refund.
Packaging
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that returns are adequately packaged
to avoid damage during transportation.
Damaged products cannot be accepted for change over or return for refund.
• The product must be correctly packaged in its original packaging. Failing
that, adequate alternative packaging must be used.
• The product must be firmly held in the correct orientation; see arrows
on packaging (Flat TV above 26” must be transported vertical – otherwise
the screen may crack under its own weight)
• The product must not be loose in its box, because damage can be caused
as it rubs against packing, components or accessories.
• Components and accessories must not be loose in the box and must not
press on each other or the main product, since movement / impact / pressure
can cause damage.
• There must be nothing rubbing on, and no pressure on, glass screens;
particularly from stands, plugs or other accessories with sharp edges.
Faulty Products upon delivery.
If your product is faulty upon delivery, please contact our
customer support helpline within 7 days from the date of delivery. You will
then be offered an exchange, full refund or repair, whichever you prefer. If
you require a refund or an exchange, we will then arrange to collect the product
from your home at our cost. If your product is found not to be faulty then your
refund will be deducted the cost of collection / delivery. If the condition
of the product is not ‘as new’ or there are missing accessories
then we reserve the right to impose a charge to cover costs. Missing accessories
will also be charged to you.

If your product develops a fault after 7 days from date of delivery,
please contact our customer support helpline on 0845 602 6869

Recycling
of electrical and electronic equipment.
From 1 July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Regulations will allow members of the public to deposit old electrical
and electronic items at recycling sites across the UK, free of charge.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment waste is, increasing by at least 5% each
year. The public dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of waste every year in the
UK, and landfill sites are now approaching full capacity. Much of this waste
can be recycled, to make new consumer goods. The WEEE regulations aim to reduce
the quantity of electrical and electronic items disposed of in this way, and
will encourage everyone to play a part in protecting the environment for future
generations.
As retailers of electrical and electronic products, we fully support this regulation,
and in anticipation we have joined together with some of the UK’s leading
electrical retailers to create and fund a new body - the Distributor Take-Back
(DTS) scheme - which will help develop a new UK recycling network for waste
electrical products. Over the next three years, the scheme will make available
more than £10 million to establish and upgrade recycling facilities across
the UK, so that customers can conveniently recycle old electrical appliances.
To find your nearest recycling sites for waste electrical and electronic products,
contact your local council, or visit www.recycle-more.co.uk and type your postcode
into the recycling bank locator.
