Lambdapower - Lambda Sensor part search terms and conditions

Orders and Returns Policy

We will replace any genuinely faulty item for the period of one year from the purchase date.

Please note that adverse sensor operating conditions, for example if another part of the engine's fuel system is operating incorrectly, can dramatically reduce the life of your sensor.

If a sensor is bought in error, providing it is unused, we will accept return of the sensor and will normally refund the purchase price of the sensor, less a handling charge at our discretion. Special order items or non-stock items will be subject to a handling fee of 20% for wideband sensors, 10% for all others.

Please contact us if you have ordered the incorrect part in genuine error and wish to swap it for another part. The difference in price between the items (if any) will become due.

Any requests for refund will only be processed after receiving the sensor back at our warehouse and after the initial payment for the goods has cleared into our bank account. Faulty items will have to be sent for testing by an independent laboratory, which can cause a delay.

We cannot repair or replace sensors that have come to the end of their useful life through normal wear, whether supplied by us or not.

6.Right Of Cancellation for Distance Selling and Refunds thus arising

6.1 This clause applies only to non-face to face contracts where the Buyer is acting as a consumer.

6.2 This clause does not apply in the following circumstances: -
a) Where the Buyer is a Business.
b) Where goods are ordered by Distance Selling and then collected from the Seller's premises.
c) Where goods have been opened, used, installed, packaging defaced or are in a non re-sellable condition as new.
d) Where a service has been provided in configuring goods to the Seller's requirements.
e) Special Order - When good(s) have been ordered specifically for the consumer, the consumer will not have the
right to cancel these good(s) without our prior permission.

6.3 Where the consumer wishes to exercise their rights of cancellation, no goods are to be opened, used, installed,
packaging defaced or returned in a non re-sellable condition (ie. 'as new').

6.4 Notification is to be given in writing or by email within 7 working days, from the day after the receipt of goods. Please request a receipt to prove delivery whether by email or writing.

6.5 The goods should be returned in re-sellable condition to our warehouse within a further 7 day period. The Buyer's carriage charges are not refundable by Lambdapower.

6.8 Please be aware that any refund cannot be processed until the payment for the items has cleared, that is to say that the funds are available in our bank account. This may take several days depending on the method of payment used but can be up to two weeks. This is because of normal delays incurred using financial institutions to facilitate payment gateways and funds clearance.

6.9 Once the funds have cleared it will take an additional 2 days for the amount to show up on your credit card statement or bank account balance.

6.10 Any additional costs incurred in the process of making a refund to a credit card or bank account will be met by the customer, including re-stocking fees if applicable as per clause 4.1.

7.Warranties and Liability

7.1 Where the Buyer is dealing as a consumer (as defined in the Unfair Contracts Term Act 1977 Section 12), the Seller will replace, repair, or refund, (at the Seller's option), any item found to be faulty within twelve months from the original invoice date, provided that the goods are returned to the Seller in accordance with the 'Returns Policy' Clause and the goods have not been misused or damaged.

7.2 The warranty period between the Buyer and the Seller is strictly 12 months from the date of order despatch, regardless of any warranty replacements. A replacement part if supplied does not extend the warranty period.

7.3 Lambdapower is not responsible for supplying an alternative part whilst the suspect part is being inspected/tested/returned/refunded/exchanged/repaired/in transit.

8. After Sales Service / Returns Policy

8.1 We will replace any genuinely faulty item for the period of one year from the purchase date.

8.2 However, it should be noted that adverse sensor operating conditions, for example if another part of the engine's fuel system is operating incorrectly, can dramatically reduce the life of your sensor. This will be evident upon return of the suspect item, and no warranty will be upheld in these situations.

8.3 If a sensor is bought in error, providing it is unused, we will accept return of the sensor and will refund the purchase price of the sensor, subject to a handling fee if applicable as per details in Clause 4.1. If we have advised the fitment of a sensor unsuitable for the vehicle which it is intended for, we will accept return of the sensor and will supply the correct sensor. If the correct sensor is not available, we will refund the full purchase price. If the sensor is supplied in good faith and is the correct fitment for the vehicle, but fails to solve the problem(s) it was meant to, refund will not be given. This also applies in the event of the sensor not being needed due to the problem(s) being solved by another method than lambda replacement. The reason for this is that a used sensor cannot be re-sold and may be irreperably damaged. Carefully following the advice displayed in this site's technical guides will help you avoid unnecessarily replacing a good sensor. In all cases, any requests for refund will only be honoured after receiving the sensor back at our warehouse and after laboratory testing if such action is deemed necessary.

8.4 We cannot repair or replace sensors that have come to the end of their useful life for whatever reason, whether supplied by us or not.

9. Out Of Warranty Repair

9.1 Where a Buyer authorised the Seller to carry out repair work not covered under any warranty; The warranty shall apply only to the parts supplied at this time and not the full equipment or any other part of it.

10. Delivery of Goods

10.1 Delivery of Goods shall be made to the Buyer's address on the Delivery Date. The Buyer shall make all
arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. Lambdapower is not liable for additional costs incurred in collecting the goods from a distribution centre in the event of failed delivery.

10.2 When the goods are despatched via carrier, postal service or parcel company, the time quoted shall be for a nominal service and not guaranteed within a time scale. No refund in full or part shall be offered as a result of late delivery by the
carrier. If you have special delivery requirements you must notify Lambdapower by email or telephone. Every effort is made to ensure goods are despatched quickly.

10.3 International Customers - Carriage to anywhere in the world is included in the price unless expressly stated otherwise at the website checkout. International customers should reasonably expect an extra delay in receiving their goods, especially when the customer is outside the EU. Postal insurance is not included in the purchase price. Optional postal insurance is available at the website checkout.

11. Acceptance of Goods

11.1 The Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Goods upon delivery to the Buyer.

11.2 The Buyer shall advise in writing within 7 days of receipt of the Goods any discrepancies in specification from
the Goods ordered, after which it shall be deemed acceptance of the goods as the specification supplied. After this
period, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject Goods which are not in accordance with the Contract. The buyer must check the specification of goods received against the goods ordered prior to using the goods as this will deem acceptance of said goods. However, if any problems arise Lambdapower will attempt to reach an amicable solution.

11.3 The Seller will not consider any claims for shortage of delivery or damage in transit unless written notice is
given to the carrier and Seller within one day of the receipt of goods. This is very important as our carriers have time limits imposed upon Lambdapower for such claims. If the package looks gravely damaged at delivery, refuse to accept it. In any case, it is always advisable to sign for any items you receive by carrier as 'contents not inspected'.

11.4 The Seller undertakes to deliver Mail Ordered goods to the delivery address, as opposed to an individual. A
signature provided by an individual at the delivery address will deem acceptance of goods. Where the buyer has
signed for the goods as "Received In Good Condition", or the buyer is deemed to have signed for the goods as such, then any claim will only be honoured on the basis of a full or part refund claim via the carrier being successful.

11.5 We do not offer a car-parts loan service. Any goods correctly supplied in good faith will not be accepted for refund for such reasons as the part not being required anymore, without a re-stocking fee being applied.

12. Title and risk

12.1 The Goods shall be at the Buyer's risk as from delivery. Refer to Clause 11.3 for advice on receiving carrier-delivered goods.

12.2 In spite of delivery having been made, property in the Goods shall not pass from the Seller until payment is
received for them in full. This may take several days depending on the method of payment used.
