Refund & Returns Policy – Supacolour UK Ltd
11/11/25
At Supacolour, we stand by the quality of our heat transfers and products. This policy explains your rights and how to return products if needed.
Your Legal Rights
This policy complies with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
Your Rights Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015
You have legal rights if products are:
• Faulty or defective
• Not as described
• Not fit for purpose
These rights last for up to 6 years from purchase (5 years in Scotland).
Timeline of Your Rights:
Within 30 Days of Delivery:
• You have the short-term right to reject faulty goods
• You're entitled to a full refund if goods are faulty
Between 30 Days and 6 Months:
• You're entitled to a repair or replacement first
• If repair or replacement is impossible, takes too long, or causes significant inconvenience, you can request a refund
• We will assume any fault existed when you received the goods unless we can prove otherwise
Between 6 Months and 6 Years:
• You're still entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund for faulty goods
• You may need to demonstrate that the fault existed when you received the goods
Your Right to Cancel Distance Purchases (14-Day Cooling-Off Period)
When you purchase from us online or by phone, you generally have the right to cancel your order within 14 days for any reason under distance selling regulations.
However, this right does NOT apply to:
• Customised or personalised products made to your specifications
• Products made from artwork you have supplied
Why This Exception Applies to Most Supacolour Orders:
Because we produce heat transfers specifically to your design requirements and specifications, most of our products are classified as "goods made to the consumer's specifications" and are therefore exempt from the 14-day cooling-off period.
Before you place an order for customised products, you will be asked to acknowledge that:
1. You are ordering goods made to your specifications
2. You understand these goods are exempt from the 14-day cancellation right
3. You still retain all your rights regarding faulty or misdescribed goods
Standard (Non-Customised) Products:
For any standard, non-customised products we may sell, you have 14 days from receiving your order to cancel for any reason. To exercise this right:
• Contact us at orders@supacolour.co.uk within 14 days of delivery
• Return the unused product within 14 days of notifying us
• You will be responsible for the cost of return shipping unless the product is faulty
• We will refund you within 14 days of receiving the returned product
What We Are Responsible For
Supacolour's Responsibility:
• The quality, performance, and specifications of our heat transfers
• Ensuring transfers meet the description and are fit for their intended purpose
• Providing transfers that comply with our published specifications
Customer Responsibility:
• The garments or materials onto which transfers are applied
• Correct application of transfers following our application guidelines
• Ensuring compatibility of your chosen garment with the transfer type ordered
Important: While we recommend inspecting transfers before application, your legal rights are not affected if a defect only becomes apparent during or after application. If you discover a fault at any stage, please contact us.
Products We Cannot Accept Returns For
We do not offer refunds, repairs, or replacements for:
1. Change of mind on customised products (as these are exempt from the 14-day cancellation right)
2. Incorrect orders where you have:
• Provided incorrect artwork or specifications
• Confirmed your order details and approved a proof (where provided)
• Ordered the wrong product type after receiving guidance from us
3. Damage caused by:
• Misapplication (not following our published application guidelines)
• Use on incompatible materials after receiving our advice
• Normal wear and tear after successful application
• Misuse or neglect after application
Note: If there was any confusion, unclear communication, or inadequate guidance from us regarding specifications, we will take responsibility. When in doubt, please contact us to discuss.
