Returns & Refunds Policy Guidelines
- Refunds can only be made by the method originally used to pay for the goods. Credit/debit card refunds will be processed immediately, once we have received the goods back and inspected them. It can take up to, but no longer than, 14 days for the funds to show on the customer’s account.
- Goods that have been altered from their original condition in any way cannot be returned.
- Goods cannot be returned as faulty where a specific defect in the product was brought to the attention of the customer at the point of sale.
- The customer has a duty to take reasonable care of the products while in their possession and during the cancellation period to maintain them in the condition in which they were supplied by GAK. If goods are damaged or the use of the goods has gone beyond the right to reasonably inspect and assess the goods, we reserve the right to seek recompense.
- The customer has a duty to re-package any returned goods in such a way as to avoid any damage to the goods whilst in transit back to GAK (ideally all the original packaging should be used). If the original packaging is not used the goods must be packaged in such a way that provides the same or equal protection as the original packaging. If this duty to pack the returned goods in an appropriate manner is not met GAK reserve the right to return the goods to the customer or to seek recompense.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Custom/bespoke or special order items cannot be cancelled.
- For Health and Safety reasons some products such as headphones, microphones, earphones, in-ear monitoring products that have been used or where the hygienic seal has been removed or broken cannot be returned unless faulty.

- Faulty Goods: Within 30 days of the date of delivery, faulty goods will be replaced or refunded. Outside of 30 days from the date of delivery, faulty goods will be repaired by the manufacturer, under the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty.

Customer Contracts Regulations 2014
Under new consumer regulations, if you purchase your product from us in our store, over the phone or online, you have the right to cancel the order without any given reason, as long as you contact us within 14 days of receiving your complete order. All items must be returned to us in ‘‘as new or showroom’’ condition meaning they should show no signs of use, wear and tear or damage. In addition to this, the goods need to be returned to GAK within 30-Days from the date you placed your order.
Packing Returned Items
Please retain all the original packaging for your items until you have decided to keep the goods, this is very important as an additional charge will be made for items returned without the original packaging.
If you wish to return any items within the 14-Day Right To Cancel period, all items must be packed in a strong cardboard box with appropriate internal packaging to protect the items and prevent them from moving around in transit to avoid scratches or damage. GAK cannot accept responsibility for any item that is damaged due to insufficient packaging, and your return will be refused or your refund reduced if items are not packaged correctly.
Once returned to us we will process a full refund, where delivery has been charged on the original shipment we will refund our standard delivery charge but enhanced or timed delivery charges will not be refunded.
Please note the cost of returning the items to us must be covered by the customer (this does not apply to faulty goods still under warranty) and where goods have been damaged, marked or show signs of excessive testing or use (outside the normal bounds of showroom use) a charge will be made to compensate for the reduction in value.
Insure Your Return Whilst In Transit
We recommend that when arranging delivery back to us you make sure your goods are insured to their full value whilst in transit. GAK cannot accept responsibility for returned items that are damaged in transit although we will inform you as soon as we are aware of any transit damage so that you can make a claim against your chosen courier.
