Refund Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
This Refund Policy explains our policies regarding returns, refunds, and cancellations for products purchased through affiliate links on the Marualessi Home website. Please read this policy carefully before making a purchase.
Important Notice
Consumer Rights Under UK Law
Under UK consumer protection law, you have certain statutory rights when purchasing goods online. These include:
14-Day Cooling-Off Period
When you buy goods online from a UK-based retailer, you generally have 14 days from the day you receive your order to cancel and return the item for a full refund. This is known as the "cooling-off period" under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
Faulty Goods
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be:
- Of satisfactory quality: Free from defects and durable
- Fit for purpose: Suitable for the intended use
- As described: Matching the description provided
If goods are faulty, you have the right to a refund, repair, or replacement within 30 days of purchase. After 30 days, you may still be entitled to a repair or replacement.
Typical Retailer Return Policies
While specific policies vary by retailer, most major UK retailers offer the following:
| Return Period | Typically 14-30 days from delivery |
|---|---|
| Condition Requirements | Items usually must be unused and in original packaging |
| Proof of Purchase | Receipt or order confirmation typically required |
| Refund Method | Usually refunded to original payment method |
| Return Shipping | Varies by retailer; some offer free returns, others may charge |
How to Request a Refund
To request a refund for a product purchased through our affiliate links:
- Locate your order confirmation email from the retailer
- Visit the retailer's website and navigate to their returns section
- Follow their specific return process, which may include:
- Completing an online return form
- Printing a returns label
- Arranging collection or dropping off at a designated location
- Package the item securely with all original accessories and documentation
- Send the item using the retailer's specified return method
Refund Timeframes
Once the retailer receives your returned item, refunds are typically processed within 5-14 working days. The exact timeframe depends on:
- The retailer's internal processing procedures
- Your original payment method (credit cards may take longer than PayPal)
- Bank processing times
If you have not received your refund within 14 days of the retailer confirming receipt of your return, contact the retailer's customer service team directly.
Non-Returnable Items
The following items typically cannot be returned unless faulty:
- Personalised or customised products
- Products that have been used or damaged after opening (where hygiene is a concern)
- Perishable goods
- Digital downloads or software
- Gift cards and vouchers
Damaged or Incorrect Items
If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect item, contact the retailer's customer service immediately. Most retailers will:
- Arrange a free return collection
- Send a replacement item at no extra cost
- Process a full refund including any delivery charges
Take photographs of any damage as evidence to support your claim.
Cancellations Before Delivery
If you wish to cancel an order before it has been dispatched:
- Contact the retailer as soon as possible
- Most retailers allow cancellation before dispatch for a full refund
- If the item has already shipped, you will need to follow the standard returns process
Our Role in Refunds
As an affiliate website, Marualessi Home does not:
- Process payments or handle your financial information
- Manage order fulfilment or shipping
- Handle returns or issue refunds directly
For any refund-related queries, you must contact the retailer from whom you made your purchase. Their customer service details will be available in your order confirmation email.
When Things Go Wrong
If you encounter difficulties obtaining a refund from a retailer and believe they are not honouring your statutory rights, you may:
- Contact Citizens Advice for free consumer guidance
- Make a complaint to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
- Consider alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
- Seek legal advice for claims over £100
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We recommend reviewing this policy before making any purchase through our affiliate links.
