1. Before the goods are sent out to you.
   
   The contract between us only becomes binding at the point when we process your payment. This occurs just before we send the goods out to you. Therefore you are free to cancel your order for any reason at any time before we despatch the goods to you.
2. After the goods have been sent to you.
   
   a. Once we have sent the goods out to you, you have a statutory right, known as a ‘seven day cooling off period’ to cancel your order. If you wish to take advantage of this, you must cancel your order within seven working days, starting the day after you receive the goods.
   
   b. This right of cancellation does not apply to the following goods: Perishable goods such as food or flowers; Audio or DVD recordings or computer software that you have unsealed; Magazines and periodicals;
3. Notifying us of your intention to cancel
   
   You may telephone us on 08450020888 to inform us of your intention to cancel. However, we require all cancellations to be confirmed in writing either:
   
   a. by email to enquiries@gooutdoors.co.uk or
   
   b. by recorded delivery post to the Web Team, GO Outdoors Coventry, Coventry Business Park, Canley Road, Coventry CV5 6RN

   Once you have notified us of your wish to cancel, we require you to return the goods to us at your own expense, as soon as possible, by:
   
   a. filling out and enclosing with the goods our Internet Cancellations Form
   
   b. by post or courier, returning the goods to the following address: The Web Team, GO Outdoors Coventry, Coventry Business Park, Canley Road, Coventry CV5 6RN or
   
   c. by hand to any of our stores, except Hathersage. Please ensure that you give your Internet Cancellation Form to a member of staff. A receipt will then be issued to you as proof of delivery. Customers who reside in Northern Ireland or Eire – please telephone us first to discuss the best delivery method, as we may prefer to arrange for the goods to be collected. Whilst the goods are in your possession, you are required to take reasonable care of them. They do not have to be returned to us still in their original packaging, but we do request that you return all the original product packaging and any instruction manuals with the goods. Please note that if you fail to return the goods to us, we are entitled to collect the goods from you and charge you for the direct cost of delivery.
5. Refunding the cost of the goods to you.
   
   Once you have notified us of your wish to cancel, we will refund to you the price of the goods and the original delivery price as soon as possible, and, in any event within 30 days. Our preferred method of repayment is to credit the refund back to the original card with which you made the payment. If this method is not possible, please let us know how you require a refund to be made at the time that you notify us of your wish to cancel.

 

THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ALL RETURNS WHICH ARE MADE AFTER THE SEVEN DAY COOLING OFF PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. FOR ALL SUCH RETURNS, WE REQUEST THAT YOU USE OUR INTERNET RETURNS FORM. (PDF FILE)


A. Return of goods which are not damaged or defective.

1. You are free to return unwanted or unsuitable goods for up to 28 days after delivery, provided that:
   a. the goods are returned to us in a new, unused and re-saleable condition. If the goods are not in a re-saleable condition, we reserve the right to refuse a refund, or deduct up to 20% of the purchase price from the refund amount;
   
   b. the goods are returned either in or with their original packaging and instruction manuals;
   
   c. the goods are returned at your own expense and risk. We recommend using a recorded delivery service or equivalent as we cannot accept responsibility for goods lost in transit. If your item is excessively large or heavy we can arrange for a courier to collect it at a price which we will agree with you in advance. This price will then be deducted from your refund payment.
2. If a refund is required:
   a. We will refund to you the price you paid for the goods, but not the original delivery charge. Refunds will be made as soon as possible after receipt by us of the returned goods and, in any event, not later than 28 days after receipt of the goods.
   
   b. We will apply the refund to the original card with which you bought the item(s). If this method is not reasonably possible, you will need to contact us by telephone on 08450020888 or by email to enquiries@gooutdoors.co.uk , to arrange an alternative method of repayment. This may cause a delay in repayment, but should not take longer than 28 days.
3. If an exchange of goods is required:
   
   a. After receipt of the returned items, we will send out to you an alternative product of your choice.
   
   b. If the new product is more expensive than the original product, the balance of the price owed to us, together with the delivery charge, will be charged to your original payment card, or an alternative card, details of which will have been provided by you, prior to despatching the goods to you.
   
   c. If the new product is cheaper than the original product, we will give you a refund for the balance, less the cost of delivery of the new product.
   
   d. Special Offers It is not always possible to exchange goods which were originally purchased as a Special Offer for the same price as the original Special Offer price. Special Offers are separate stock items to our normal 10% discount items. Some items will have been selected as Special Offer goods due to their size or colour. Consequently, goods at the Special Offer price may only be available in a limited choice of size or colour. Also, by the time you wish to exchange the product, the Special Offer item may have sold out and the Special Offer price may no longer be available.

   • have been used

a. If you wish to return goods which you believe are damaged or faulty, please telephone us on 08450 020 888. We will discuss with you the best method of returning the item. If the item is a garment or is reasonably small, it can be sent by Royal Mail recorded delivery. We cannot accept responsibility for goods which are lost in transit. If the item is large or bulky we will arrange with you for it to be collected by courier. Alternatively, you may return the goods by hand to any of our stores, except Hathersage. Please ensure that you fill out and enclose our Internet Returns Form with the goods.

b. Upon receipt by us of the goods, we will examine them for damage:

i) If the fault is obvious and inherent, we will process the refund, repair or exchange within 7 days of receipt of the goods;

ii) If the fault is not obvious, we may need to return the goods to the supplier for testing. We normally expect a response from the supplier within 4 weeks. The following products usually need to be examined by the supplier:
• electrical or gas appliances
• tents
• walking boots

c. In the event that the goods are found to be damaged or faulty, we will either:

i) refund to you the price you paid for the goods, plus the original delivery cost, plus the cost to you of returning the goods to us; or, after consulting with you:

ii) send to you a replacement and refund to you the cost of returning the product; or

iii) have the product repaired, return it to you and refund you for the cost of returning the product.

d. In the event that the fault or damage is not due to faulty manufacture, but to misuse or damage sustained after purchase, or subject to normal wear and tear, we will contact you to find out whether you wish the goods to be returned to you or repaired, if a repair is feasible. In these circumstances, both the cost of repair and return of the goods to you would be at your expense.

e. In the event that the damage to the goods has been contributed to by you or the goods have been in your possession for a period of time, we may consider giving you a partial refund for the goods.
