2. Effects of cancellation
If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery to you (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. You are only liable for any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than-
- 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Products supplied, or
- (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Products, or
- if there were no Products supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the returned Products or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Products, whichever is the earliest.
For any spare parts, you must send them back or hand them over to us at Fisher & Paykel Appliances Limited, 420 Cob Drive, Swan Valley, NORTHAMPTON NN4 9BB, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us.

We will collect appliances such as dishwashers or fridges from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection. We will bear the cost of returning such appliances.
If you requested to begin the performance of Services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated to us your cancellation of the contract for the Services, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
If you requested to begin the performance of Services during the cancellation period and we complete the Services during the cancellation period, you will lose your right to cancel the contract.

DELIVERY POLICY
1. Delivery
We deliver to any home address throughout the United Kingdom excluding the Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and the Republic of Ireland. We cannot deliver to a Post Office Box. You must provide a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for the receipt of your Products.
Delivery time and price will vary depending on your location and the Product that you have purchased.
We will contact you to arrange delivery and an estimated delivery date.
The Products we sell are often big and heavy things to lift, so there will be certain occasions when we may be unable to get it into your property. Lots of steps, narrow corridors, radiators and restricted parking are all things that may hinder our ability to deliver. In these situations we may be able to offer delivery to the nearest point possible i.e. your garage, so you can make arrangements to get the product in. If not we will attempt another delivery date or give you a full refund. Occasionally something will happen out of our control such as floods, snow or other adverse weather conditions or things like, sporting events which result in closed roads. If your delivery is affected, we'll contact you as soon as possible to arrange alternative delivery options. We will do what we can, but can’t be held liable if we can’t fulfil delivery due to reasons beyond our control.
Delivery will be to the UK address specified in your order. If no one is available at the time of delivery, we will leave you a note that the Products have been returned to our depot, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery.
If we miss the delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:
- We have refused to deliver the Products;
- Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
- You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so in accordance with the above paragraph, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.
If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under either of the two paragraphs above, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
Delivery of an order shall be completed and all risk in the products (including risk of loss and/or damage to the products) shall pass to you when they are delivered to the address you gave us and signed for.
Please contact us by phone on 08000 886 605 or email: UKdeliveries@fisherpaykel.com if Products are damaged or lost in transit.
We shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver products if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our control. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date because of an event outside our control, we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.
2. Additional Services
The charges (if any) for additional services are clearly laid out throughout the order process and will be displayed on the checkout page when you place your order.
Unfortunately we are not able to offer installation or removal at this stage.
If we are replacing your old appliance, please disconnect it, defrost if necessary and ensure all water, laundry and other personal items are removed from the appliance before we arrive.
