If the item is faulty, or not as described, the VENDOR is responsible for return postage, at any time (certainly for the first 6 months, and arguably up to 6 years). But that isn't the DSR, that's the SOGA. If the item is faulty, the DSR won't apply anyway. Purchases on the Internet Or indeed *any* distance purchase. are subject to a 7-day cooling off period, which starts when the goods arrive. Unless the seller fails to mention this in their T&Cs, in which case it's much longer (30 days, ISTR). If you decide within this time that you do not want the goods, you can return them, and the PURCHASER is responsible for return postage Unless the seller's T&Cs say otherwise, of course. Which they invariably do. Brian |

Which they invariably do. Maybe; but this is explicitly provided for in the DSR. And perhaps there *is* a supplier out there where this actually happens! Incidentally, I just noticed that CPC, in their T&Cs, also specify 'return within 7 days', which is incorrect. -- Bob Eager begin a new life...dump Windows! |

If postage is included in the original contract it must be refunded if the contract is cancelled under the DSR's. Couldn't find the above sentence in the DSR. It's implied (completely) by the following: 14. - (1) On the cancellation of a contract under regulation 10, the supplier shall reimburse any sum paid by or on behalf of the consumer under or in relation to the contract to the person by whom it was made free of any charge, less any charge made in accordance with paragraph (5). The delivery charges are part of the contract. The buyer has no contract with the carrier. And, as I stated previously, the DTI guidance notes for businesses make this very clear. -- Bob Eager begin a new life...dump Windows! |

Couldn't find the above sentence in the DSR. You quoted it yourself: "14. - (1) On the cancellation of a contract under regulation 10, the supplier shall reimburse any sum paid by or on behalf of the consumer under or in relation to the contract to the person by whom it was made free of any charge, less any charge made in accordance with paragraph (5)". "any sum paid by....... the consumer.... in relation to the contract" If the contract includes the carriage, the carriage must be included in the refund. If the carriage forms part of a separate contract, it doesn't need to be refunded. Simple really Brian |

It has just taken me 15(!) minutes to load that page. It trickles in at about 15bytes/sec, is anyone else using Firefox with them - it used to work sensibly but I guess something in the asp has changed?

Very odd, I've tried other pages and other browsers (all linux) and I see that Tx2 is likely to be using the linux form and in all cases - for me - it takes an age. Maybe it just doesn't like me or ntl or... I'll try booting another distro and see what happens! Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau |

Just tried a bootable cd distro and that runs fine too, looks to be a problem with Mandrake 10.1 (or my installation of it!), weird that I've not yet found another site affected like this. Need to take this elsewhere, now definitely OT for here... Robert -- La grenouille songe..dans son château d'eau |
