Returns & Refund Policy
Last Updated: 1 November 2026
At Fidmat24 Tech Market, we are committed to providing a fair, transparent, and customer-friendly returns process. This policy explains when and how items may be returned, how refunds are processed, and how your consumer rights are protected. Nothing in this policy limits or excludes your statutory consumer rights under applicable law. If local consumer protection laws provide you with greater rights than those outlined here, those rights will apply.
1. 30-Day Return Period
We offer a 30-day return window for eligible products in addition to your statutory rights. This means you have 30 calendar days from the date you (or the last item in a multi-item order) receive your order to initiate a return. The 30-day period begins on the day after delivery. For example, if your order is delivered on 1 January, the return period ends on 31 January.
2. Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for a return under our 30-day policy, items must be in the same condition as when you received them: unworn, unused (except for reasonable inspection), and with all original tags, labels, accessories, components, manuals, and packaging intact where applicable. Missing items or packaging may result in a partial refund, except where you cancel under your statutory right (see Section 7).
You may inspect and handle the items in the same way you would in a physical store, for example opening the packaging to examine the product and testing basic functionality. However, any handling beyond what is reasonably necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the product may diminish its value and result in a deduction from your refund.
You must provide proof of purchase, such as your order number, receipt, or order confirmation email.
3. How to Request a Return
The fastest way to request a return or cancellation is through your account. Log in at fidmat24techmarket.com/account, select the order and items concerned, and follow the on-screen steps to submit your request. You'll receive an automatic confirmation email once it's submitted.
If you're unable to use your account, you can request a return by email instead:
Step 1: Contact Us
Before returning any item, please email us at info@fidmat24.com with your order number, the items you wish to return, and the reason for the return. We will send you the correct return address and any instructions. You do not need our approval to use your statutory rights, and we will not refuse a return you are entitled to because you did not contact us first.
Step 2: Package Your Return
Securely package the items with all original contents and include a copy of your order confirmation or packing slip. Clearly mark your order number or any return reference we gave you on the outside of the package.
Step 3: Ship Your Return
Send the package to the address we gave you. We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping method with proof of delivery, as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in transit.
4. Return Postage
Unless an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or otherwise not as described, customers are responsible for arranging and paying for return postage. This cost is communicated clearly before purchase, in this policy and at checkout.
Where a return is required due to a defective product, damage during shipping, an incorrect item sent due to our error, or a product that does not match the description on our website, we will cover the cost of return shipping, or provide a prepaid label, in full.
We strongly recommend using a tracked shipping method for all returns. We cannot accept responsibility for items lost in return transit where no proof of postage exists.
5. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items
Please inspect your order promptly upon delivery. If you discover damaged, defective, or incorrect items, contact us as soon as you notice the problem at info@fidmat24.com. We do not apply a deadline of our own, and your statutory rights apply whenever you contact us. Provide your order number, a description of the issue, and photographs where appropriate.
If the fault, damage, or error is confirmed, you may choose a replacement, subject to availability, at no extra cost, or a full refund including the original shipping costs. This is without prejudice to your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
6. Non-Returnable Items
The following items are not eligible for return under our 30-day policy unless they are faulty, damaged, or not as described, in which case your statutory rights apply:
-
Personalised or custom-made items
-
Perishable goods
-
Hygiene or personal care products that have been opened or used, for health and safety reasons
-
Hazardous materials
-
Digital products, including software, digital content, or licence keys that have been downloaded or activated
-
Gift cards, vouchers, or store credit
Sale, clearance, or discounted items may be returned in accordance with this policy and your statutory rights.
7. Statutory Rights (UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man)
These legal rights apply in addition to our 30-day return window in Section 1. If your order is delivered to an address in the United Kingdom, you have additional statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. We give the same cancellation and refund terms to addresses in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man as part of your contract with us.
You have the legal right to cancel your purchase without giving a reason, from the moment you place your order until 14 days after the day you receive the goods. This is known as the cooling-off period. The period starts the day after delivery. To cancel, you must notify us within these 14 days, for example by email to info@fidmat24.com. You may use the model cancellation form below, but you do not have to. Any clear statement telling us you wish to cancel is enough. You can also cancel online at fidmat24techmarket.com/pages/cancel-order. You then have a further 14 days to return the goods.
When exercising this statutory right:
-
We will refund the full price of the goods and the cost of standard delivery. We do not refund premium or express delivery costs unless the return is due to our error.
-
You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods, unless we have agreed otherwise.
-
Your refund may be reduced if the goods show signs of use beyond what a reasonable inspection would reveal. Missing packaging alone will not reduce your refund.
You also have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 if goods are faulty, not as described, or not of satisfactory quality. In the first 30 days, you are generally entitled to a full refund.

8. Refund Process
Once we receive your returned item(s), we will inspect them to confirm they meet the eligibility requirements and notify you of the outcome, full or partial refund, by email, normally within 2–5 business days.
Approved refunds will be processed within 14 days of receipt of the returned items, or proof of return, whichever comes first, in accordance with consumer protection laws. Refunds will be issued to the original payment method.
Processing timescales once a refund has been issued:
-
Credit or debit cards: typically 5–10 business days
-
PayPal: typically 3–5 business days
-
Other methods: as per the provider
We cannot control your bank or payment provider's processing times.
9. Partial Refunds
We may apply a deduction to a refund where:
-
Items are returned in a condition consistent with misuse or damage by the customer
-
Original accessories, components, or packaging are missing (packaging alone does not reduce a refund when you cancel under your statutory right)
-
The product has clearly been used beyond what is necessary for reasonable inspection
Any deduction from a refund will be clearly communicated to you in writing before it is applied, together with the reason for the reduction.
10. Customs & Refused International Shipments
If an international order is refused at customs, returned to us, or cannot be delivered due to unpaid import duties or local import restrictions:
-
Original outbound shipping costs are non-refundable
-
Return shipping fees or customs penalties charged to us may be deducted from the refund where permitted by applicable law
-
If the parcel is destroyed by customs authorities, no refund may be available
By placing an international order, you confirm that you have verified the goods can be legally imported into your country and accept responsibility for all applicable customs charges.
