Delivery

As a trade customer, it is your responsibility to ensure that your delivery address details are entered correctly at the time of your order and that an appropriate delivery day and time is selected so that the courier can successfully deliver to you. If a shipment cannot be delivered to the address specified on the order or is refused on delivery and is subsequently returned to us by the courier, you will be refunded for the cost of the shipment, but will be liable for the delivery costs incurred.

Please note that it is also your responsibility to ensure that the relevant import duties for the destination country are paid at customs. If the shipment is refused at customs, it will be returned to us and you will be liable for all associated delivery costs, including any return import duties.

Please also see the below section for information regarding returns, replacements and warranty. 

Returns and replacements

Trade customer returns

When you purchase a product from www.evotech-performance.com, you have the right to cancel your order at any time before your goods are dispatched or within 30 days after delivery. This 30-day period begins on the day after you receive the goods.

When returning an item/items that you purchased from us, you will have to pay the return postage and will be liable for any damage to the products. We will only refund the return postage if we have sent the wrong product(s), the product(s) are faulty, or for any other reason that is our fault. To return an item within the 30-day period, please follow the instructions and complete the form here.

Returns from your customers

We’re confident that your customers will be happy with their Evotech Performance accessories. However, it is important that you clearly display your own terms and conditions at the point of purchase, with particular attention to your customer returns/exchange policy to avoid any confusion if a customer does want to return their product for any reason.

When reselling products from Evotech Performance, you are liable for all your customer returns, including returns under Evotech Performance’s manufacturer warranty (see below section). Evotech Performance will not be liable for the direct return or replacement of products purchased via any of our trade customers’ channels. This also applies to trade customers who ‘drop ship’ their customer orders via www.evotech-performance.com.  

Warranty period

We’re proud of the excellent quality and durability of all our products and as a result are pleased to offer a 12-month warranty on all items. These warranties cover all EP products purchased from www.evotech-performance.com that have developed a manufacturing fault. Using the product off-road or in a situation that is considered non-standard deems the warranty void. A product returned under warranty should always be sent back to us for evaluation, and we will always refund the return postage if the product is faulty. 

Our warranties begin on the day you, our trade customer, receives your EP product purchased from www.evotech-performance.com. If a product is already damaged when you receive it, please follow the instructions and complete the returns form here. Please ensure you have your proof of purchase to hand, e.g. your EP email order confirmation, before attempting to make a claim.

If you are a reseller and an EP product you have sold on to your customer develops a fault within 12 months of you receiving the product, they will need to contact you in the first instance to organise a return. In these circumstances, you are responsible for any refund/exchange your customer requests. Please note that our manufacturer warranty period begins when you receive the product purchased from www.evotech-performance.com and not when the end customer receives it. Please make sure that you clearly outline these warranty claims procedures within your own terms and conditions to avoid confusion.

To subsequently make a warranty claim to us for the faulty product returned by your customer, please complete the warranty returns form here before returning the product on to us.

You can ask for further advice by calling (International +44 (0) 1507 466729), write to us at Beechings Way Alford Lincolnshire LN13 9JE United Kingdom or email tradesupport@evotech-performance.com. Please do not return a product to us before completing the relevant form.    

Other returns

In the unlikely event that we have to recall any of our accessories for any reason, we will contact you to let you know and send you a replacement(s), free of charge. If we need you to return the faulty product(s), we will also cover the relevant postage costs. Please note that in the event of a recall, it is your responsibility to inform your customers and provide the replacement product (supplied to you by us), unless you have ‘drop shipped’ a customer order. In this instance, we will inform the customer of the recall and send the replacement directly.
