| VAT
Books do not attract VAT and therefore neither does the carriage charge for these. Some items in this shop do though attract VAT or are chargeable with a lower proportion of VAT in these instances the carriage does attract VAT. To avoid customer confusion the RSGB discounts the carriage charge so that the customer pays the same amount. VAT rules for overseas destinations vary so if you need to clarify these please contact our sales department who will be happy to try and help.

| Return Policy
In the unlikely event of needing to return goods to the RSGB because they are faulty or damaged (except where this was stated in the description) please contact our sales department, who will arrange a replacement or refund as appropriate. In the event that an incorrect item has been sent due to an RSGB error, we will send out a special pre paid returns label to cover the return postage, again please contact our sales department for this. We cannot accept claims for return postage that we have not been previously notified of or have been returned without using our return labels.
In the event that the customer deems the goods to be unsatisfactory they may be returned at the customer's own expense for a refund. Refunds will include the cost of outward postage or the appropriate proportion thereof. You may note that returns from orders in excess of two books will be deemed not to include a credit for postage except where the entire order is returned (UK only). Credits for returns of unsatisfactory items are only issued if the goods arrive back at the RSGB in a re-saleable condition and cannot be deemed as used. It is also the customer's responsibility to ensure the arrival of unsatisfactory goods and no claims will be honoured for "lost in the post" items.
All claims for returns and refunds must be made within 14 days of receipt regardless of cause.
This policy applies to both private and trade sales but is strictly for the UK only and overseas clients will need to contact the RSGB for details of our overseas policies.
Trade Returns:
All conditions of return apply equally to trade returns with the following exceptions. Returns may be made up to six months after the date of supply. After six months all sales are firm and no returns will be accepted. Unfortunately dated products such as the RSGB Yearbook, Deluxe Logbook, etc. cannot be returned, except in cases of faulty or damaged on arrival.
The RSGB sales department can be contacted by e-mail at sales@rsgb.org.uk or on 01234 832700 8.30am - 4.30pm Mon to Fri.

| Personalised Products
Where a product is personalised to your specific requirements i.e. by having your callsign added to a badge, this becomes exempt from distance selling regulations. You will therefore be unable to return the item as unsatisfactory unless the item is faulty or damaged. We urge you to be very careful when entering details as we cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions made by you at any stage in the order process. Orders once are placed may not be cancelled without incurring the full cost of the order. Where a genuine error has been made we will endeavour to cancel orders with our suppliers but there is no guarantee we will be able to do so. If we are unable to cancel orders in such circumstances you will still be liable for the full costs.
You may also note that personalised products may take some time to produce and are NOT shown on your regular invoice as they are processed from a different 'depot'. Please do not 'chase' personalised products until the time for delivery quoted on the product has elapsed.

| Charging & Errors
This site does not actively take payement at the time the order is placed. So your credit or debit card will not be charged until we process the order. If errors are found at time of order we reserve the right to amend or change the order to correct these. We will try to contact customers to advise of changes but in the event we are unable to do so, the adjustement may be carried out without direct consent, which may result in a higher fee than is detailed in the order placed.
In cases where the customer has made an error the RSGB reserves the right to make a £10 administration charge when making refunds to cover administration costs. This is only applied in cases of error and does not affect your distance selling rights. This specifically covers Membership, QSL bureau services, etc. where payments are made in advance but is also occasionally applied in other circumstances too.
