Refund & Return Policy
At CaterEq, we want our customers to be confident when ordering. This Refund & Return Policy explains our approach to returns, refunds, and related conditions. As CaterEq operates exclusively on a Business-to-Business (B2B) basis, consumer distance selling regulations do not apply.
1. General Policy
- All sales are considered Business-to-Business (B2B).
- Consumer Distance Selling Regulations do not apply.
- Returns are not automatically accepted if you change your mind.
2. Change-of-Mind Returns
- Any discretionary return must be agreed in advance with CaterEq.
- Returned items must be unused, in their original packaging, and in resalable condition.
- A 25% restocking fee applies to all approved returns.
- The customer is responsible for return delivery costs.
3. Damaged or Incorrect Goods
- Goods must be inspected at the time of delivery before signing the delivery note.
- If goods arrive damaged, you must refuse delivery and notify us immediately so that a replacement can be arranged.
- If you sign for delivery, this confirms acceptance of the goods in good condition and damage claims cannot be made afterwards.
- If incorrect items are delivered, please notify us within 24 hours so we can resolve the issue.
4. Warranty Returns
- Faulty goods within the warranty period may be eligible for repair or replacement under the terms of our Warranty Policy.
- Warranty claims must be submitted through our online Warranty Service Form.
- Only back-to-base and parts-only warranty applies – CaterEq does not cover labour or on-site engineer costs.
5. Refunds
- Refunds (where applicable) are issued only after goods have been inspected and approved by our team.
- Refunds typically take 7–14 working days to process once approved.
- Refunds are made to the original payment method only.
6. Non-Returnable Items
- Custom-built or special-order items are non-returnable.
- Consumables such as bulbs, batteries, and oils are excluded from return unless faulty on delivery.
- Glass components are not covered under return or warranty for breakage.
