Any discrepancies should then be reported to us as a matter of urgency, after which we will endeavor to rectify them as quickly as possible. Plumb Arena will not be liable for any costs incurred, if goods are not checked before an installer has been arranged.

RIGHT TO CANCEL
Under the United Kingdom's distance selling regulations, you have the right to cancel the contract for the purchase of any of these items within a period of 14 working days, beginning with the day following the day on which the item is delivered. This is called a “14 Day Cooling-Off Period”.
During this 14 day cooling- off period, you have a duty of care for the goods; therefore it is advised that any goods you wish to return are kept in their original packaging to ensure they remain undamaged and in a good condition. Please note that you will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to our suppliers unless we delivered goods to you in error or they are faulty.

Should returned goods arrive back to us or our supplier in a damaged condition, the goods will be returned to you and you will be responsible for the total cost. Please note this will not apply to any goods deemed as Special Order or Made to Order products.
