If the carriers do leave the goods without a signature, then you must take full responsibility for any subsequent loss, damage or theft of the goods.

Sometimes it might be that you have the ability to repair it, and we will contribute to that cost.

Dog run panels and some other items we supply are not wrapped for maximum protection against minor damage in transit. Such damage includes marks or scratching on the metal and minor bending of panels. Where this occurs and does not affect the functionality of the item, we do not accept that damage sufficient to compromise the integrity of the item has occurred and we do not consider that replacement is warranted.

15.3     If any Goods you have purchased have faults when they are delivered to you, you should contact DH within 28 days to arrange collection and return. DH is not responsible for paying shipment costs. Goods must be returned in their original condition with all packaging and documentation. Upon receipt of the returned Goods, the price of the Goods, as paid by you, will be refunded to you through the payment method used by you when purchasing the Goods.

15.4*   Under the UK Distance Selling Regulations, you can exercise your right of cancellation after the goods have been delivered to you, provided they have not been used in any way. You have a statutory right to a “cooling off” period.  This period begins once your order is complete and ends 7 days after the Goods have been delivered. You must inform us in writing within 7 working days of receipt that you would like to return the goods.  You will then be responsible for returning the unused goods within 7 days of receipt and at your own cost. Goods can only be returned for this reason if their packaging remains unopened and the Goods can be re-sold, as new, without any additional work on the part of DH For health & hygiene reasons, we cannot accept any goods back that have been used and any goods returned that are deemed to be used will not be refunded

15.5     If you wish to return Goods to DH for any of the above reasons, please contact us in writing to make the appropriate arrangements. 

15.6     You must take reasonable care to ensure the goods are not damaged in the meantime or in transit. You must also ensure that the goods are repackaged in their original packaging or similar in order to avoid damage to the product on its return as items received damaged may not be refunded.

15.7     In certain instances, we may be able to arrange collection of the goods, but this is not always possible.  As we use third party transport, we will not be held responsible for any unavoidable delays (i.e. excess traffic, running out of time) in collection or for the couriers calling on a different day to that originally organised as this is beyond our control.  If at all possible, we will inform you as soon as possible of any changes.  If you are not in when the couriers call to collect, they may leave you a card asking you to contact them to rearrange the collection.  It is your responsibility to contact them and any delays in contact could result in extra charges. for which you will be liable.

15.8     DH reserves the right to exercise discretion with respect to any returns under these Terms and Conditions.  Factors which may be taken into account in the exercise of this discretion include, but are not limited to:

15.10   If goods are returned having claimed to be faulty and on inspection DH does not consider them faulty, replacement goods will not be supplied but a refund will be given.

15.11   Doghealth reserves the unequivocal right to decline a full refund request for goods that are custom-ordered or bespoke in nature ("Custom Goods"). When a customer contracts with Doghealth for the production of Custom Goods, and said goods are either in the process of fabrication or have entered the delivery phase, the commitment of resources and the unique character of the Custom Goods prevent them from being returned to general inventory or repurposed for another transaction. As such, any request for cancellation or refund related to Custom Goods in these stages may be denied in Doghealth's sole discretion. It is incumbent upon the customer to ensure clarity and certainty concerning the specifications and requirements of their order prior to confirmation to obviate potential refund or return disagreements.

DH does not provide its lifetime warranty on panels labelled as “B stock” as well as does not provide a standard return frame window. If a shipment is marked as damaged on arrival this must be raised with DH within 7 days.  DH will replace “B stock” items with available “B stock” items or provide a refund if the item is unavailable, DH will not provide a replacement for “B stock” items with its main stock list.
