The Company will then issue instructions as to the return to it or collection by it of the Goods or attendance on site to repair. If Goods are to be returned or collected they must be returned in their original packaging complete with all accessories and documentation. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned by the Purchaser’s failure to follow the Company’s directions as to re-delivery to it of the Goods. Once the Company has verified the fault, the Company will provide a replacement or full refund at its sole discretion. The Company tests returned items, and if a returned item is found not to be faulty by the Company’s technicians the Company reserves the right not to provide a refund but to return the Goods to the Purchaser and to make a charge for the reasonable costs of the return carriage.

Please note: Due to the differences in the manufacturing process and / or the natural ageing of an existing enamelled product, Stovax and Gazco cannot guarantee the colour matching of enamelled castings. Although the enamel coating used in our manufacturing process is of a specific colour. Separate batches may offer slightly different finishes or shades, which may be more evident on specific enamelled colours. The Natural aging of an enamelled product is affected by the products environment, location and use. As a result, when a new enamelled component is fitted there may be a noticeable difference in the colour shade. In light of this, we reserve the right not to accept colour matching failure as a reason for the return of a product.

4.2

Items faulty on arrival: If the Goods are found to be faulty on delivery the Purchaser must notify the Company within 2 Working Days of delivery. The Company will then issue instructions as to the return to it or collection by it of the Goods or attendance on site to repair.

The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned by the Purchaser’s failure to follow the Company’s directions as to re-delivery to it of the Goods.
