1. It is your responsibility to return the item(s) using a suitable carrier.

Returns must be sent to: Returns Department, Focal Point Fires, c/o Superior Fires Returns, Unit 10, Airfield Road, Christchurch, BH23 3TG. We do not accept returns in person or cannot be held responsible for any returns sent to any other address.

2. On receipt of your returned item, the goods will be checked thoroughly and the Returns Form will be processed internally.

3. We are required to process all refunds to the original payment method applied when you placed your order. This is the case even if the payment card used has now expired, or your account has been closed or cancelled. Normally, in this case a refund will automatically be processed to the same account. If you no longer have a credit card with that bank, as an alternative we may issue your refund by cheque. For your information refunds can take up to 14 days from the date of the item/s being returned.

Firstly, we are very sorry if you have received a faulty or damaged item.

When you receive your goods, it is your responsibility to inspect them to ensure that they are suitable, free from damage and fully functioning. If any defect or damage is noted, it is your responsibility to notify us within 30 days of delivery. In these circumstances you will be entitled to either a replacement re-delivered at our expense, or a full refund including any delivery charges you have paid.

We strongly recommend that all products are inspected upon receipt whether you intend to install or use them straight away or not as we cannot accept returns outside of this 30 day period. This policy does not affect any other product safeguards to which you are entitled under product warranties.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 replaces three big pieces of consumer legislation - the Sale of Goods Act, Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Supply of Goods and Services Act. As a consumer you have legal rights when making a purchase, as outlined in the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Superior Fires take these very seriously and work hard to ensure that all your rights are upheld swiftly and fully. All of the above terms pertaining to cancellations, returns and refunds are all in accordance with these rights.

For impartial information or advice on your consumer rights we would recommend visiting Which? Consumer Rights 

The Consumer Contracts Regulations offers you the following cancellation rights when you buy online or by phone:

• You are entitled to cancel your contract if you so wish, provided that you exercise your right no longer than 30 days after the day on which you receive the goods or services
• Your right to return products does not apply to goods made to your specification, that have been clearly personalised or which by reason of their nature cannot be returned or are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly
• If you wish to exercise your right of cancellation, you are obliged to retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them
• To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel your contract by a clear statement, including details of your name, geographical address, details of the order you wish to cancel and, where available, your phone number and email address
• You can cancel by email [email protected], or call 01202 588632
• If you decide to cancel, you should return the goods to us at your cost within 30 days of such cancellation and we will reimburse to you (by the method used to pay for the original transaction) the amount in relation to goods to which cancellation rights apply. This includes the cost of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you choose a type of delivery other than our standard and least expensive method of delivery). If in doubt please call us on 01202 588632 to discuss your return options.
• We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement no later than 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied.
