    2. Aquila reserves the right to accept or decline any order for Products from the Customer for any reason.
  4. PRICING
    1. Whilst we endeavour to ensure the prices on our website are as accurate as possible, we reserve the right to change a price in exceptional circumstances. If a price is corrected due to exceptional circumstances, the Customer will be informed of the change before the Goods are despatched and will be offered the opportunity to cancel the order.
    2. If an order is placed for an item with an erroneous price, and the erroneous price is less than the cost price of the Goods, we reserve the right to process the order at cost price or offer a full refund to the Customer.
    3. In the event that a Product is unavailable (has either been discontinued by Manufacturer or has long lead times) Aquila may offer an alternative product to the Customer. We will normally contact the Customer before any alternative is despatched.
  5. PAYMENT TERMS
    1. Payment must be received in full before Goods are despatched.
    2. All goods remain the property of Aquila until payment has been received in full.
    3. Your credit card will be charged on the day the order is accepted by our online store.
  6. RETURNS POLICY
    1. If your Goods arrive faulty or damaged, or a fault becomes apparent in the first 7 days after delivery, we will either provide a full refund or dispatch new Goods as soon as possible, after the faulty Goods have been returned to us. A minimum restocking fee of 15% may be applicable if any goods are returned incomplete or damaged (including but not limited to missing manuals, CD's, damaged/missing retail packaging etc.). Returns will not be issued as a result of compatibility problems. In the event of compatibility problems, the item will be considered to be an unwanted Product.
    2. If your Goods are not faulty, but you simply do not want them, you have 7 days (Cooling-off period) from the day of receipt of the Goods to cancel the order and return the Goods for a refund. A refund will be provided within 30 days of us receiving the unwanted Goods. Returning of unwanted Goods is the responsibility of the Customer, otherwise collection costs of the unwanted Goods will be deducted from the refund. Postage and Packing charges are a separate contract and are deemed as a service that has begun and has been completed before the end of the 7 day cooling-off period and hence will not be refunded.
    3. Unwanted goods returned after the 7 day cooling-off period will be liable to a 10% restocking fee.
    4. All unwanted Goods must be returned to us in a resaleable condition (i.e. manufacturers packaging must be undamaged and unopened, all manuals, CDs etc must be enclosed). In the event that unwanted Goods are not returned in a resaleable condition, the Goods will be returned to the Customer at their cost and subject to a £25 (exc VAT & Postage) charge.
    5. If unwanted Goods are returned to us more than 30 days from the date of purchase any credit given will be based on the Items current market value (if this is lower than the original sale price). Any such credits are subject to a 10% restocking fee.
    6. In the event that a returned Product is no longer stocked by us and is irrepairable / irreplaceable, you may be offered an alternative / higher specification device at extra cost to you, or a full refund.
    7. It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure safe delivery of any returned Product to Aquila.
    8. Warranty stickers must be intact on any Products returned to us. Aquila reserve the right to refuse credit/replacement for any Product that has had the warranty sticker removed or tampered with.
    9. Any returned Products that have been obviously damaged, modified or are incomplete will be returned immediately, incurring a £25 (exc. VAT & Postage) charge (including but not limited to broken cases/cores on processors, memory modules with heatsinks fitted/removed, damaged pins, damaged motherboards due to incorrect fitting etc.)
    10. Aquila will not be held responsible for damaged processor cores due to incorrect cooler installation. Overheated cores will not be replaced under any circumstances. AMD & Intel no longer recommend using cooler paste as too much or too little paste can cause overheating. Therefore the best option is to apply heat sink pads. All traces of old cooler paste or pad must be removed before a new pad is applied.
    11. Any Product returned as faulty and found to contain no fault will be subject to a £25 (exc. VAT & Postage) charge and it will be returned to the Customer.

If our technical team agree to accept the return you will be issued with a returns number. This must be clearly shown on all Goods returned to us. Do not deface the manufacturers original packaging with either the returns number or the return address.
    14. Under no circumstances will the original carriage charge be refunded for unwanted or non faulty Goods.
