Having chosen all our products with great care for quality and value for money, we hope and aim for you being completely 100% satisfied with your purchase from The Zip Wire Company. We understand that sometimes you might just want to return the goods, so we have made our returns process as simply as possible.

Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive which can be found at: www.Legislation.gov.uk

All of our products come with a 14 day no quibble money back guarantee. So if for some reason you are not completely 100% satisfied with your purchase then please let us know within 14 days and we will offer you an exchange of goods or a full refund, subject to this returns policy.

All we ask is that items returned to us must be in their original, unused condition with original packaging and in a saleable condition. Simply enclose a copy of the original invoice with the item.

Once a refund has been agreed, you are then responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage of the product when returning the goods, so you should make sure that you take out enough insurance to cover their value.

Refunds to credit/debit cards will normally be refunded within 5 working days of our receipt of the returned goods. Please allow up to 10 working days for the refund to reach you card as this time frame is dependent on your card issuer. Once a refund has been issued, an email will be sent to notify the customer of the refund.
