Faulty items and your consumer rights
Any item you buy from EXMOOR PHOTOGRAPHY (eg shop or online shop) must be:
If it isn’t, the item is faulty and you can usually get one of the following:
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 introduces:
30 days to get a refund For the first time a specific timeframe has been created in which you can reject a faulty item and get a full refund - now 30 days
A 'tiered' remedy system In place for faulty goods, digital content and services, this means your rights to a refund are now more clearly set out. Whether you're entitled to a refund depends on how long you've owned the product.
Failed repairs After one failed attempt by the retailer to repair or replace a faulty item, you're entitled to ask for a refund or price reduction.
A second repair or replacement If you don't want a refund or price reduction, you have the right to request another repair or replacement at no cost to you.
Deductions from refunds No deduction can be made from a refund in the first six months after purchase.
Digital content rights This new law gives consumers rights in relation to online digital content that is paid for, digital content supplied free with other paid for items and digital content supplied on a physical medium, such as a DVD.
Faulty items and your consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015
Product quality
As with the Sale of Goods Act, under the Consumer Rights Act all products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.
The rules also include digital content in this definition. So all products - whether physical or digital - must meet the following standards:
Satisfactory quality Goods shouldn't be faulty or damaged when you receive them. You should ask what a reasonable person would consider satisfactory for the goods in question? For example, bargain bucket products won’t be held to as high standards as luxury goods.
Fit for purpose The goods should be fit for the purpose they are supplied for, as well as any specific purpose you made known to the retailer before you agreed to buy the goods. As described The goods supplied must match any description given to you at the time of purchase.
Returns (6 MONTHS)
A receipt Always keep your receipt and take it with you. If you’re buying a gift for someone else, ask for a gift receipt so that they can change it themselves.
The card you paid with If you paid for an item on a debit or credit card, take it with you when you return the item. This is especially important if you want a refund as its often credited to the card you paid with.
The original packaging .
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you having any questions.
You can’t take back an item if you caused the fault. For example, if you dropped camera and cracked the screen or didn’t follow care instructions.
If this happens, you may still be able to claim under your home insurance or if the item has a warranty. A warranty gives you extra rights, eg to a repair or replacement when something goes wrong. Check the details of your policy to see if you can claim.
Refunds and faulty goods
EXMOOR PHOTOGRAPHY will offer you a refund for a faulty item if you:
Proving goods are faulty
If you bought the item within the last six months, it’s the trader’s responsibility to prove the item wasn’t faulty when you bought it.
If you bought your item over six months ago, you may have to prove the fault was not caused by accidental damage or wear and tear. You can do this by getting a second opinion from an independent expert (see link below).
Using a free guarantee
A guarantee is a promise from the trader or manufacturer to sort out faults that develop with your product or service for free.
Guarantees don't usually cost anything and last for a fixed period of time. For example, cameras often come with a free manufacturer’s guarantee that lasts for 12 months from the date of purchase.
You can usually only claim a repair or replacement from the manufacturer or trader if you have registered your guarantee within 28 days of buying the item. Check the terms and conditions of your guarantee to find out how to do this.
GUARANTEE’S ONLY COVER CERTAIN FAULTS IN THE CAMERA (SEE MANUFACTURERS T&C), IT WILL NOT COVER ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USER OR WEAR & TEAR. IF EXMOOR PHOTOGRAPHY RETURNS YOUR CAMERA ON YOUR BEHALF AND IT IS FOUND TO HAVE ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE I.E. WATER INTRUSION THEN YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SERVICE CHARGE.
