2. The Buyer must not use the defected goods unless instructed in writing by the Seller to do so.
3. The Seller will contact the Buyer within 24 hours to discuss the problems and provide a solution to rectify the situation.
4. The seller will not be liable to replace any products should they fall under the following categories:
a. The Buyer makes further use of such Products without the Seller’s consent after notifying the Seller of the defect/damage.
b. The defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, willful damage, negligence, misuse, abnormal working conditions or failure to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage of use of the Products.
c. The Buyer alters or repairs such Products without our written consent; or
d. The Buyer has not paid the Contract price for the Products by the Payment date.

f. The Buyer just signed their name on the courier driver’s PDA, stating that it has been received in ‘good condition’.
5. Providing the Buyer does not fall within any of these categories, the Seller reserves the right to either; Repair or replace such Products (or the defective part) free of charge; or Refund the price of such Products (or a proportionate part of the price) provided that the Buyer allows for the Seller to collect the Products or the part of the Products that are defective.
6. Should replacement Parts be requested by the Buyer, the time in which the replacement parts can be delivered to the Buyer will depend on the lead time stated by the relevant manufacturers. The Seller will relay this information to the Buyer but will take no responsibility should this time be longer.
7. Should a refund be offered to the Buyer, the money will be re-credited back onto the same credit/debit card the Buyer used to make the original purchase. This will be done within 7 days of the Seller receiving the goods back into their warehouse.
Please check your item before signing for it. If the packaging looks damaged please put “DAMAGED” next to your name on the driver’s PDA. If the packing looks undamaged, please put “UNCHECKED” instead next to your name. If you just sign your name on the PDA then you have agreed that you have received your item in good condition, therefore any claims raised against the courier for damage will be rejected and Marlowe Fire & Security Limited will not be liable. Please note that further details of both our cancellation and returns procedure can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
