has been built on a personal service with quality and reliability
in mind.

POLICY
Compatible and Re-Manufactured Cartridges
Damaged or Faulty Products
All products within this range are fully tested and carry a guarantee
for one year from the date of purchase. However, some parts are
delicate and can be damaged in transit. It is, therefore, necessary
to test products within seven days of receipt. However, problems
experienced with any product that fails to function correctly at
any time during the twelve month guarantee period should be reported
immediately. Contact should be made either by telephone to Customer
Services Department on 01235 525600, fax on 01235
520580 or e-mail to help@nationaltoners.com
explaining the difficulty and leaving a contact number for our technical
department to give initial support. If the fault cannot be identified
and rectified at this stage then a Returns Label will be faxed or
posted through for attachment to the consignment which will then
be collected from the original dispatch address and returned to
the factory for testing. The cost for this Return will be met by
National Laser Toner Distribution who will confirm the date of collection
by telephone. However, if customers, who confirm acceptance of the
collection date, then do not avail themselves to facilitate such
collection, will render themselves liable for surcharges imposed
by the Courier company involved.
For products dispatched via the Post Office it will be necessary
for the customer to return the goods using this service.
A full refund of the faulty product will be given subject to confirmation
of the fault within 30 days. The cost of Post Office charges will
also be refunded at the same time.

interests and testing of goods received and the notification of

the manufacturer to eliminate transit damage. Nevertheless the guarantee
periods for subsequent fault reporting still apply.
The above conditions shall not affect your statutory rights as a
consumer.
