Such products are not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time. Please refer to the operating instructions for further information.

Pricing

Our pricing reflects the levels of service we give. We are equipped to service the West-Country with our own technicians and fleet of 10 vehicles, and are passionate 'bricks and mortar' retailers. However because of our large buying power we offer extremely competitive prices and therefore demand does occur from elsewhere and we are delighted to supply the rest of the UK. Due to the extremely competitive nature of our industry, prices change almost weekly on some models and we always suggest that you phone or e-mail one of the stores to confirm the price and availability.

Delivery and Installation

Delivery times are between one and three working days from clearance of payment for in-stock items depending on the time of day the order was received (for next working day delivery please order before 2pm). If a product is out of stock with our suppliers or ourselves we will contact you and offer a delivery date an alternative product or a refund.

Our own vehicles are equipped to install the products professionally within the South-West. Our Custom Installation teams travel much greater distances as we have contracts with various organisations throughout the UK. However standard products ordered by e-mail or telephone outside of the Westcountry region will be delivered by our our authorised courier, Target. These vehicles usually have only one person and may require assistance if you have requested a large or heavy product. They are unable to assist in installation or set-up of the product. If you are unable to assist with a large or heavy item, please advise us at the time of ordering.

Web site contents accuracy

We work extremely hard to make sure that all content on our web site is up to date and accurate. However we cannot guarantee the accuracy of product specification features and accessories. We always recommend that you phone or e-mail to confirm a products specification if it is critical to you. If a particular feature is important to you please contact us before placing your order.

In the event that a product is incorrectly priced due to a typing error we shall have the right to refuse or cancel orders whether or not the order has been confirmed. In the event that a charge has already been made to your card it will be immediately credited back to your account.

We also reserve the right to use images of products for illustrative purposes only. This means that what is shown on the site may not be the actual model. We do this because sometimes we are not in a position to acquire the actual model image. In these cases we use a best representation of the model.

Guarantees

All of our products come with at least a 12 months Manufacturers Parts and Labour Guarantee.

If a product is faulty in the first 28 days then we will give you the option of a repair, a replacement or a refund. After this period the normal manufacturer's terms and conditions will apply. We offer a loan replacement during repair for all products purchased in-store.

This guarantee excludes faults caused by misuse, accidents or negligence. Also not covered are consumables (e.g. fuses, batteries etc), routine maintenance (Dirty heads etc), retuning and cosmetic damage. If an engineer is called out and no manufacturers fault is found the cost of the call will be charged to you. In the event of a fault we recommend the consumer to refer to their Instruction Book. If the remedy can not be found here, you can phone our service help-line or the Manufacturer's customer help-line. Only following this procedure should a 'service call' be booked.
