Refund policy
Return, cancellation and refund policy
This policy sets out your rights when you buy from Tarnfell. Nothing in it reduces your statutory rights under UK consumer law. Our full company and contact details appear in the footer of every page of this website.
1. Your right to cancel
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 you may cancel an order for any reason, without giving a reason, within 14 days of the day you, or someone you nominate, takes physical possession of the goods. Where an order is delivered in parts, that period runs from delivery of the last part.
To cancel, tell us clearly before that period ends. An email is best because it gives us both a record. You may use the model cancellation form set out below, but you are not obliged to.
Once you have told us you are cancelling, you have a further 14 days to return the goods.
2. Refunds
We will refund all payments received from you, including the standard cost of delivery, without undue delay and in any event within 14 days of the day we receive the goods back, or the day you supply evidence that you have sent them, whichever is earlier.
Where you chose a delivery service more expensive than our standard option, we refund the standard cost rather than the enhanced one.
Refunds are made to the original payment method. There is no fee for this.
3. Condition of returned goods
You are entitled to examine goods as you would in a shop. If you handle them beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning, we may reduce your refund to reflect any diminished value. If we ever propose such a deduction we will explain what it is for and what it is based on before we make it.
4. The cost of returning large items
Where you cancel because you have changed your mind, the direct cost of returning the goods is yours. For equipment of this size and weight that cost is significant, and we will always tell you the actual figure before you commit rather than afterwards. We will arrange the collection ourselves, at cost, rather than leaving you to find a haulier.
Where goods are faulty, damaged in transit, not as described, or not what you ordered, we collect them at our expense.
5. A practical request
This equipment typically weighs between 300kg and one tonne, and a collection has to be planned in the same way the delivery was. Please contact us before dismantling anything, so that the collection can be arranged properly. This is a request rather than a condition, and it does not affect your right to cancel.
6. Faulty or misdescribed goods
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If they are not:
- within 30 days of delivery you may reject them and receive a full refund;
- within 6 months you may require a repair or replacement, and if that is unsuccessful, a refund which may be reduced to reflect your use of the goods;
- for up to 6 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or 5 years in Scotland, you may still have a claim, although after the first six months it is for you to show that the fault was present at delivery.
These rights sit alongside any manufacturer warranty, which is in addition to them and never instead of them.
7. Exceptions
The 14 day cancellation right does not apply to goods made to your specification or clearly personalised, for example a cabin built to non standard dimensions or a bespoke finish. Where an item is bespoke we state this clearly on the product page and again at the point of order.
8. Model cancellation form

Send this to the email address shown in the footer of this website. We will acknowledge it on the same working day.
9. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how a return or refund has been handled, email us and say so. We would rather resolve it directly. Your statutory rights, including any right to take the matter further, are unaffected.
