Returning Your Order Made Easy
Whether it's an item you've ordered that you're not 100% happy with, or sadly it has a defect, we try to make the returns process easy and hassle-free. Below is a form we require for you to fill out to help with the speed and processing of our returns. Before you fill the form in please read our terms and conditions below;
Right to Cancel & Returns
- You have the right to cancel your order from the point of placing your order until 14 days after receipt of your goods. This is the cooling-off period. All cancellations must be made by phone to 01242 339285 and confirmed in writing within 14 days of receiving the goods, quoting your order no and your postcode. We will then give you a cancellation number pertaining to your order for your reference. Any goods received that haven’t been cancelled in this way will not be dealt with under the cooling-off period.
- The 14 day Cooling-Off period is not a 'try before you buy' period. Any products returned to Clifton Cameras under the Cooling Off Period must meet the requirements outlined in section 4.3 of our Terms and Conditions
- Where Clifton Cameras have supplied goods to you, you must take reasonable care of the goods in your possession pending their return to Clifton Cameras. Clifton Cameras will only accept returned goods complete with their original packaging and which do not exhibit any signs of wear or tear. Any use of the delivered goods beyond that necessary to inspect the goods upon delivery, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, will invalidate your right to cancel the contract or may be subject to a restocking fee. When evaluating cameras you agree to keep shutter actuations (pictures taken) to an absolute minimum. As shutter actuations are measurable, products with excessive actuations are not considered to be new. We deem that an excess of 30 shutter actuations is beyond that needed to fairly inspect goods during your cooling off period and in such circumstances, reserve the right to apply a restocking fee. For printer purchases, we are unable to accept a return under your Right to Cancel where ink has been loaded into the machine. This does not apply for returns under warranty.
- Where Clifton Cameras have supplied goods to you, these goods must be returned to Clifton Cameras Ltd, Returns Department, Unit A1B Staverton Technology Park, 2 Herrick Way, Staverton, Cheltenham GL51 6TQ or be available for collection by Clifton Cameras. The cost of returning goods is non-refundable, and where Clifton Cameras collects goods, the direct cost of such will be deducted from the refund. If an item is deemed faulty on arrival we will reimburse return carriage costs up to the value of £10 or offer to collect the goods from you. Any costs outside of this amount need to pre-authorised by us prior to sending. When returning goods to Clifton Cameras, we recommend using an insured and trackable service and one which requires us to sign for the parcel upon receipt.
- Software returns - Software, Memory Cards, and Flash Drives may only be returned if they are unopened and in their original packing. This policy is to avoid any potential breach of the Copyright Descriptions and Patent Act (CDPA) 1988.
