Once the goods have been dispatched, your cancellation rights are covered by the distance selling regulations.

Failure to accept delivery of Goods once dispatched

Royal Mail will only hold non-delivered items for one week, after which they are automatically returned to the sender.

Upon Delivery of Goods

Seller Liability
The seller does not accept liability for shortages in quantities delivered unless the buyer notifies the seller of any claim of short delivery of the goods within 24 hours of delivery. In such circumstances the seller's liability shall be restricted to making good the shortfall.

Making Returns
Goods may be returned by post or courier by repackaging them securely within their original packaging and delivering them to us at:

Electricity-monitor.com
Valley View
Gloucester Road
Swainswick
BATH

Returns are made at your own risk and expense. We recommend that you use an insured registered mail service because returns not received by us cannot be credited to you. Refunds will be credited to your original payment card. We cannot accept liability for any returns which are 'lost' in the post.

If the Goods do not arrive

If your item does not arrive, please be patient. The Royal Mail do not consider a First Class post item 'lost' until 15 working days have passed. This does not happen very often and if an item does not arrive promptly, it is still very likely that it will arrive well within this time frame. If an item is delayed, we cannot take any action until 15 working days have passed. It is not possible to trace postal items once they have been sent, the Royal Mail Recorded Delivery system is intended to provide proof of delivery only, and has no in-transit tracking facility.

If 15 working days have passed since your order date and the goods have not arrived, please email us at dispatch@electricity-monitor.com and we will arrange for a replacement to be sent. Please include the date on which you ordered, a copy of your order confirmation email, and state that the order has not been received. We will use this email as evidence for the investigation and claim that we will make with the Royal Mail and as confirmation of a lost parcel

Rental

Rental of Electrisave, Owl or Efergy wireless energy monitors from Electricity-monitor.com implies acceptance of these Terms & Conditions in their entirety.

General terms of rental

The Wireless Energy Monitor rental service is available to UK residential addresses only. Customers should order only if they are over 18 years of age and have a UK based payment facility, eg Debit / Credit card in their own name.

The Wireless Energy Monitor rental service is an offer to rent a single and complete Wireless Energy Monitor (WEM) system for an initial period of 30 days at a fixed rate as advertised. This rate may vary from time to time, but in any event will be clearly stated before payment is made. The customer agrees that the rental will continue at the agreed rate per calendar month or any part thereof until the WEM and complete original packaging materials are returned to the offices of Electricity-monitor.com.

The Customer may elect to purchase the rental WEM at any time before expiry of the rental period at a cost of £24.99 for the Owl/Electrisave brand product or £29.99 for the Efergy brand product. Purchases of rental WEM systems are deemed to be sold as 'used', the guarantee is limited to a 30-day replacement warranty with an equivalent used WEM.

The rental charge does not include return delivery.

Batteries are not included in the rental charge.

The rental WEM will usually be dispatched the same working day for orders placed before 14.30 Mon-Fri although occasionally, during periods of high demand, the dispatch of rental units may be delayed by several days. Once the WEM has been dispatched, the agreement to rent may not be cancelled. Where a delivery choice is offered, we reserve the option to provide an alternative delivery method having equal or better value. The choice of a next working day / timed delivery service does not guarantee same day dispatch. Delivery within advertised time schedules for whichever delivery service is chosen is not guaranteed. We can accept no liability for delays in dispatch or delivery for whatever reason.

The rental period will start from the delivery date but no later than 5 days from the date of dispatch. If delivery fails, or is severely delayed, a facility is available online to report such incident. The rental period will be extended accordingly and the return date amended.

The Customer is responsible for taking reasonable care of the WEM and the supplied original packing materials.

Unless the Customer elects to purchase the rental WEM, it should be returned complete with the original packaging materials to the address below at the end of the rental period. Return posting of the WEM is at the Customer's own risk and expense. For return purposes, proof of posting date is deemed to be the post-marked date on which the Customer sends the WEM back to the address below via Royal Mail Recorded Delivery. An optional facility is available online to report the date of posting and Royal Mail posting reference number.
