Returns Policy
Last updated: 2026

Consumer rights
If you are a UK consumer, statutory rights apply in addition to any voluntary policy below. Nothing here reduces rights you cannot waive by law.
Digital goods
Where digital content is supplied with your agreement and delivery begins immediately, statutory rights of withdrawal may be limited under UK rules once delivery has begun, if you acknowledged loss of withdrawal.
If a digital product is defective or not as described, consumer remedies may include repair, replacement, or price reduction as applicable.
How to request a return or remedy
Email us with your order reference, items, and reason. We may ask for screenshots or other evidence for digital defects.
Refunds
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method where possible. Timing depends on your bank or card issuer.
Exceptions
Customised or personalised items may be non-refundable once production begins, consistent with applicable law.
Download integrity checks may apply—exports made after download may not support duplicate entitlement claims without evidence of corruption.
Faulty or mis-described goods
If a product is faulty or not as described, you may have statutory remedies including repair, replacement, price reduction, or refund as applicable.
Contact info@bayequipmentequip.com with photographs, order number, and a concise fault description. We may request return of defective physical goods where relevant.
Cooling-off and statutory summary (UK consumers)
For distance contracts, UK consumers may have a 14-day cooling-off right for some products unless an exception applies (for example, sealed digital content after supply has begun with consent).
This summary does not exhaust your rights. Citizens Advice and the Trading Standards Institute publish plain-language guidance.
B2B and trade customers
If you purchase on behalf of a business, different statutory frameworks may apply. Check your purchase order terms and our written agreements where they exist.
Trade credit, if ever offered, is subject to references, limits, and right of withdrawal consistent with our credit policy.
Timeline for inspecting goods
Examine deliveries promptly. Latent defects discovered within a reasonable period after delivery should be reported with evidence so suppliers can investigate while records exist.
Unreasonable delay may affect remedies where evidence degrades or carriers disclaim liability after statutory windows.
Partial fulfilment and substitute performance
If an order ships in parts, statutory rights apply per shipment where relevant. We communicate partial dispatch in confirmations when platforms permit.
Substitutes are not supplied without consent unless industry custom allows minor equivalents explicitly stated at purchase.
Record-keeping for your protection
Retain order confirmations, download receipts, and carrier tracking references until statutory limitation periods pertinent to your claim profile expire.
Back up digital downloads to detached storage; cloud-only copies risk loss if accounts close.
Gift recipients and proof of purchase
Gift purchasers should forward redemption instructions. Refunds normally route to the original payment instrument for anti-fraud reasons even where delivery was to another address.
Hygiene and sealed media
Sealed hygiene-sensitive physical goods may be non-returnable once opened under applicable regulations; statutory rights for faults still apply.
