We have live stock feeds from several of our suppliers. Goods which are showing as "In Stock With Supplier" will be ordered in when we receive an order. The stock time shown for these items is an estimate.

All stock availability shown is subject to confirmation, If there is an error with your order we will inform you as soon as possible to resolve the issue.

We comply with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. This provides a 14 calendar day cooling off period for products purchased online, or by phone for consumer use*.

The right to cancel allows the consumer* time to examine the goods or services, as they would have when buying in a shop. The cooling off period starts when the contract is concluded and ends 14 calendar days after the day the goods are received.

This means you have 14 days to check the product is the correct product for your needs, that the appearance of the product matches your expectations, and it does not differ significantly from how it is portrayed online or in a printed catalogue. You can examine the goods as if you were in a shop. This does not include using/testing the goods out, opening sealed manuals or other accessories. If the goods are faulty upon receipt, this is covered in the "Warranty" section below.

If you decide to cancel your purchase, please contact us, either by opening a help ticket via the "My Account" section of the website, or by using the cancellation form linked to in the "Help" section of the website. You will then be issued a returns number and provided with the return address. The cost of return postage for unwanted items is payable by the buyer. The goods remain the responsibility of the buyer until they are delivered to the return address, so sufficient carriage insurance should be arranged with the returning courier. Once the goods are received, we will provide a refund for the returned goods via the original payment method. Returned goods should be in "As New, Saleable" condition. Any goods returned damaged or in less than as new condition may be subject to a restocking fee. This includes any damage to the packaging beyond that which has occured in transit.

Purchases made as a business user (non-consumer*) are excluded from the The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. We are not required to offer returns on business purchases, however in the interest of customer service, we will normally extend your rights as a business user to allow you to return goods as per The Consumer Contracts Regulations, but we will assess each case on an individual basis, and restocking fees may apply. For Pro-User or Trade Accounts, a credit equivalent to the value of the goods less any restocking fee would be applied to the account and a refund would only be provided in exceptional circumstances and only with the agreement of management and may be subject to deductions to cover administrative charges. Please contact our returns department for details.

The following items are classed as professional use items and are not intended for consumer use, therefore are not covered by the above

• Large Unmounted loudspeaker drivers
• Loudspeaker recone kits
• Replacement diaphragms
• High power lighting equipment, or lighting equipment requiring trained rigging
• High power amplifiers

We are not able to accept the return of Headphones due to Hygiene reasons. Products which include software cannot be returned once the software packing has been opened.

If you are in any doubt as to whether an item is suitable for your needs, please email us for advice first. This may save a lot of time and hassle in you ordering the wrong item, and then having to return it. Our staff will be pleased to help you make the right choice, first time.

All new products come with a full 12 month warranty. Graded and B-stock items will have the warranty stated in the description. In the event of your item being DOA (dead on arrival) we will either arrange collection of the faulty item, or supply you with a freepost return label to send the item back to us. Once the item has been received by Blue Aran and the fault confirmed, we will provide either an advance replacement or a refund of the transaction. The supply of a replacement is subject to availability.

For orders placed for consumer* use, for an item to be classed as 'DOA' you must contact us within 30 days of receiving your goods, with a fault description.

For order placed for non-consumer* use, for an item to be classed as 'DOA' you must contact us within 14 days of receiving your goods and before acceptance of the goods, with a fault report. If goods have been accepted and have been used for trade or commercial purposes they will not be treated as 'DOA'.

Once an item has been found to be 'DOA' you should cease using the item immediately and contact Blue Aran

After the 'DOA' period as stated above, but less than 6 months after purchase we will arrange to collect faulty items by courier, or provide a freepost returns label, whichever is deemed by ourselves as appropriate for the item. The item will then be assessed under warranty. If the fault is caused by a manufacturing defect then the product will be repaired, or replaced, as appropriate. This may require the item being returned to the manufacturer for repair. Once the item is repaired it will be returned to you at our cost. If the item is found to have no fault, or the fault is found to be caused by something other than manufacturing defect, the collection and return carriage may be chargeable. Blue Aran reserves the right to request that customers return goods themselves in the event that, when all information provided is considered, the fault is most likely not caused by a manufacturing defect.

After 6 months you must return the item to us at your expense, and we will arrange for it to be repaired/replaced (whichever is appropriate) and returned to you at our cost. If the item has to be repaired this can often take 2-6 weeks. We will inform you as soon as we have an estimated date of return. After the 'DOA' period, as stated above, faults will be covered under the manufacturer's warranty and faulty items may be repaired or replaced at the discretion of the manufacturer, or at the discretion of Blue Aran acting on behalf of the manufacturer.

Some items may come with a manufacturer's extended warranty. These items are still covered by the standard 12 months warranty with Blue Aran, but after this period you will need to contact the manufacturer directly for warranty support. Please note, most manufacturers' extended warranties require that the product be registered with the manufacturer within a certain period after purchase.

In all cases, please contact us for a return number before sending anything back. We are unable to process returns received without a valid return number. All Warranty is subject to the item being used within the intended design parameters. Any repair or modification of goods attempted without the express permission of Blue Aran Ltd will render any Warranty void. This permission, if given will be supplied either via the Help Ticket system on www.bluearan.co.uk or by email. Please note that permission received from a manufacturer to repair or modify an item may affect your warranty with Blue Aran

* A Consumer is defined in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 Part 1 Chapter 1 Section 2 (3) as "an individual acting for purposes that are wholly or mainly outside that individual's trade, business, craft or profession."

We offer a repair and fitting service for loudspeaker drivers and accessories. Fitting and repair is charged based on labour and parts installed. We can inspect your item for an inspection fee which should be paid up front. If the labour charge for the works will be in excess of the inspection fee, we will provide a quotation for the work before commencing. Any quotation for cost or time of completion is an estimate and we cannot accept any consequential liability for repair jobs which are not completed by the quoted date.

Repair and Fitting work will be carried out with appropriate skill and are covered by a 3 month warranty on work and the standard manufacturers warranty on any installed parts. Once work is completed we will inform you by email. All labour and parts must be paid for before the repaired item is collected unless expressly agreed before hand. In the event that items are not collected within 3 months of us notifying you that work is complete, the items will be considered to have been abandoned and will be disposed of appropriately, or offered for sale to recoup any outstanding repair fees and storage fees.

In the event that we are unable to repair items, or the customer does not accept the quotation for the repair, we will inform you by email that the unrepaired items are available for collection. If the items are not collected within 3 months of us notifying you that the item are available for collection, the items will be considered to have been abandoned and will be disposed of appropriately.

Please ensure that the email address stored on your account at the time of order is accurate and you have regular access to it. As a primarily online based company, all correspondence relating to order is sent via email and it is important that this is received. If you contact us regarding returns or issues with order and the Email address we have on file is not correct this will cause delays in resolving your issue.

If you agree at the time of registration to receive email marketing we will, on occasion send out emails containing details of upcoming offers and new products. We do not pass Email Addresses or Phone Numbers onto third parties with the exception of the Courier company carrying the order, strictly for the purpose of communicating with you regarding deliveries.

Orders shipped by DPD apply for their "Predict Service". DPD will email and text a one hour time slot for the delivery on the morning the delivery is due to be made. For this purpose, we share Email and Mobile contact details with them. This service is provided by DPD for the convenience of customers, but may not always be available and is not a guaranteed part of the delivery service

Our online shop uses a 'cookie' to track your order as you add items, and then to redirect you to a secure server to complete your order. This cookie is set to expire shortly after you complete your order. We do not use cookies for gathering information about you, tracking your movements around the internet, nor do we share any information with any third party. The cookie we set is simply a tracking number for identification purposes.

We do our best to ensure prices on our website are correct, however it is possible for mistakes to be made. Therefore we reserve the right not to accept anorder placed on our website if we discover an error has been made with the advertised price, or any error relating to the contents of a package offered at a specific price (e.g. we advertise a package contains 10 items, when it should only contain 5).

Pre-release reservation Where we supply prices for items before they have been released we will supply a price for which we expect the item to sell. Should circumstances beyond our control result in price changes (up or down) we will contact you to confirm if you will accept the amended price.

All online orders are processed at our discretion. We will not process orders that we suspect involve fraudulent activity. We also reserve the right not to process any other order without having to give reason.

Allowing you to place an order, or reserve goods on our website does not at any time constitute an acceptance of the order by us. All orders are manually checked and processed, and we reserve the right not to accept and process your order, at the discretion of the manager.

We aim to consistently provide the best SERVICE and the best PRICES. Certain items qualify for our 'PRICE MATCH' service. For items marked with our 'PRICE MATCH' symbol, we promise to match any price from any UK retailer. If you can find a lower price on any UK website, or any UK retail shop, let us know the URL (website address) of the website, or the Name, Address and Telephone of the shop, together with the price they are offering the item for, and we will MATCH the price, and then BEAT IT. You can either email us the information before placing your order, and providing we can verify the price and availability we will amend your order when we receive it OR up to 7 days after you have placed your order and we will amend your order accordingly and refund any difference paid.

Conditions for Price Match:

• We must be able to verify the information you supply.
• The price you require us to match must be advertised on a UK website, or in a UK retail shop, the supplier advertising the price must have been trading for at least six months, and it must be possible to verify their status as a business/shop (i.e. you cant just give us your friends phone number who tells us a silly price when we phone them!).
• The item(s) must be freely available for anyone to purchase at the price specified
• The item(s) must be in stock (we are aware of suppliers quoting silly price on products, and NEVER having stock, and then when callers phone to place an order they will try to sell them a different product from stock)
• We will only Price Match for the exact same items(s) with the same Make and Model in NEW condition. We will not price match on ex-demo, ex-display or second-hand items.
• The item(s) must be marked with our 'Price Match' symbol at the time of Purchase to qualify for Price Match
• We will not Price Match against a product being advertised by Blue Aran elsewhere, such as on a different website (e.g. Ebay) or advertised on one of our special offer leaflets (which you may receive after you make your purchase). To take advantage of our special offer prices you must enter the special offer product code when you place your order. We do not price match against ourselves, if we make a change to our advertised prices within 7 days, PRICE MATCH will NOT APPLY.
• Price Match only available for orders placed on our website: WWW.BLUEARAN.CO.UK - if you placed your order through any other means (e.g. Ebay or on the telephone) where additional costs are involved we will not price match.
• The Price Match price we take into consideration is the TOTAL PRICE INCLUDING DELIVERY. If one of our competitors specifies an unusually low price, and then compensates by charging a highly inflated delivery cost, we will not match the item cost alone, unless it is possible for you to collect the item from a location within 15 miles of you.

All prices matches are subject to approval and we reserve the right to decline a price match at the discretion of the manager

Certain items can not be accepted for refund unless faulty. The following list indicates most such product types, but is not complete or exhaustive. We will of course provide a refund for any items which are proven to be unsuitable for the purpose they are intended, or cannot be repaired/replaced.

• Paint which has been mixed to a custom colour
• Goods which have been manufactured to order
• Any goods that have been customised to order
• Non stock items which have been ordered in specifically from an overseas supplier
• Cases that have been manufactured to custom specifications
• Cables manufactured to customer specifications

Should you need to return an elligble item for refund during the cooling off period (i.e. you have changed your mind within 14 days and have not used the product) - we will give you a full refund of the amount you paid for the item, providing it is returned to us in Brand new A1 condition so that we can sell it to another customer. If you wish to return an item after 14 days have passed, or you have used the item briefly, you should contact us for advice; it is possible we may be able to offer a partial refund in this instance (a restocking fee of 10-25% will commonly apply).

If an item is faulty within the 'DOA' period stated in the 'Warranty' Section above, and it was purchased as a consumer, you may request a refund rather than a replacement. After this period the Consumer Rights Act 2015 allows the Seller one attempt to repair or replace faulty item, if possible within a reasonable time frame, before the purchaser is entitled to a refund. After 6 months the refund may be reduced to reflect the period of time the purchaser has had the unit in relation to the reasonably expected useable life of the item.

All refunds will be processed onto the original payment method, except in exceptional circumstances

Please email for quotation if you require goods to be shipped oustide of the EU. Any goods shipped outside of the EU will be tested before shipping. Any items which require inspection under warranty must be returned at the buyers expense to Blue Aran. The goods will then be inspected under warranty. If no fault is found, or the fault is not covered by the warranty, an inspection charge will apply.

We always aim to provide customers with the highest of standards while using our services. However in the event that we make a mistake or fail to meet your every requirement, we encourage you to get in touch with us so that we can remedy the situation.

If you have an issue with an item purchased through our website, please open a "Help Ticket" from "View My Orders" under the "My Account" section of www.bluearan.co.uk. We will them aim to resolve the issue, as detailed above, through our warranty and support system as soon as possible.

We occasionally issue discount vouchers, which can be redeemed against purchases on our website. Additional terms and conditions apply for use of vouchers:

1. Validity and use of vouchers is at the discretion of Blue Aran management, vouchers may be withdrawn without notice and without any compensation due.
2. Vouchers with a percentage discount will give you a fixed discount off the standard purchase price on our website. Unless specified otherwise (on the voucher or accompanying email) only one discount per item is allowed. Discount vouchers are normally not valid for use in conjunction with discounted prices on our website, such as Hot Deals, Warehouse Clearance, Christmas Specials or Black Friday deals.
3. Vouchers can not be applied restrospectively to orders already placed prior to issue of the voucher. Typically discount vouchers are issued when your prior spend has reached a certain threshold, so your previous order(s) will have contributed to qualifying for a voucher.
4. Voucher expiry dates can only be extended in exceptional circumstances with authorisation from Blue Aran management. Such authorisation will be provided via email. Please make sure you use your voucher before the expiry date.
5. Vouchers can not be redeemed for cash.
6. Vouchers are not transferrable, and can only be used by the user to which the voucher was sent.
7. Vouchers are only valid for use on our website: www.bluearan.co.uk and are not valid in-store.
8. Vouchers with a fixed discount, (e.g. £25 off orders over £150) require the conditions to be met at all times. If you place an order to the value of £200, you would get £25 off and the total payable would be £175. If at any time you return some or all of your order, and the order value drops below £150, the voucher will become invalid. If in this £200 order example, you were to return a £75 item, we would calculate the order value and refund without the discount applied. £200 - £75 = £125 remaining order value. Total paid: £175 - £125 order value = £50 refund.
