exchange, repair or refund will be provided.


Neither exchange, repair nor refund will entitle you to cancel your airtime contract and you will remain liable for all line
rental, calls and other charges under it. You may therefore prefer an exchange or repair to a refund.

 

Exchange

If the product is faulty we will be happy to exchange it for an identical model. Where an identical product is not available,
we may provide you with a product of similar value. See below for how to arrange your exchange.

 

Repair

If the product is faulty we will be happy to repair it for you. Full repair terms and conditions apply- please ask in store,
visit www.oceantele.com or speak to one of our Repair Advisors on 01691 661177 for details. See below for how to
arrange your repair.

 

Refund


If the product is faulty we will be happy to provide you with a refund of the price paid for the faulty products provided:
• Where you have used the handset or used the SIM card in the handset you will be deemed to have accepted
the physical condition of the handset and we will only provide a refund if there is a fault with the operation of
the handset.
• We are unable to refund any unused airtime credit on the return of a pre-pay handset.
See below for how to arrange a refund.

How to arrange an exchange

1. You must first call our exchange team on 01691 661177 who will explain how to exchange the product.
2. You must return the product to us within 7 days of notifying us of your wish to change your mind or the fault.
3. Incomplete exchanges cannot be accepted and will be returned to you.
4. For data protection reasons we will require the following information to process your cancellation and return:
• Your full name and full address (including postal code)
• The transaction number of your purchase (included on the upper right-hand corner of your invoice)
5. Please ensure you include all of the following items: handset, battery, charger, manual and any included
accessories.
6. However, you will need to keep the SIM card – you’ll use it in your replacement handset.
7. Please ensure that any data that you wish to retain that has been put on the handset (contacts, photos,
downloads, etc) has been saved elsewhere if possible as you will not be able to transfer the data once you
have sent us the handset.
8. Please enclose all original packaging.
9. Please ensure you enclose proof of purchase.
10. Liability for the handset remains with you until we receive the handset. As such, we recommend the use of
Royal Mail Special Delivery.

 

On exchanges, we will despatch your new handset once our returns team has received your original handset (complete
with all accessories and packaging as described above).

 

How to arrange a refund and return


2. For Change of Mind returns, we recommend you first call our returns team on 01691 661177 who will
explain how to write to us to cancel and return your product. Returns are made at your
cost. If we have to collect the product from you, you must make it available for collection and we will be
entitled to charge you the costs of collection (which may be substantial).
3. For Faulty returns, you must first call our returns team on 01691 661177 who will explain how to
cancel and return the product. You must return the product to us within 7days of notifying us of the fault.
4. For data protection reasons we will require the following information to process your cancellation and return:
• Your full name and full address (including postal code)
• The transaction number of your purchase (included on the upper right-hand corner of your invoice)
5. If you have requested to keep your existing mobile number and you have cancelled your agreement for the
handset, you must contact your previous airtime provider before you cancel your agreement with us and
request a new Port Authority Code if you wish to keep this mobile number. If you do not contact them or you
do not have another active SIM card to transfer this mobile number to, you may lose your mobile number
forever.
6. Please ensure you include all of the following items: handset, battery, charger, manual, unused SIM card
(unless you are upgrading your handset and have not been provided with a new SIM card), and any
included accessories.
7. Please enclose all original packaging and proof of purchase.
8. It is your responsibility to show that any cancellation notice has been posted and to ensure that the product
is received by us and we therefore recommend the use of Royal Mail Special Delivery.
