VAT Relief
Some of our products do not allow for VAT relief.
If you are chronically sick or disabled you may qualify for VAT relief but must complete a valid VAT exemption certificate, explaining your circumstance, in order to meet Customs and Excise requirements. Assuming you meet the criteria, VAT will not be added (unless a particular product has compulsory VAT).
Orders that are received without ticked exemption will incur the VAT charge which will be highlighted clearly to you on our Website.
Completed VAT Relief Declarations by customers are accepted as prima facie evidence by the Company that a valid medical condition exists for exemption under The VAT Act, and no VAT will be charged on the goods purchased. If, at a later date, HMRC disputes the validity of the medical condition, you will be liable to pay the appropriate VAT that should have been applied. Under these circumstances, Independent Living Consultants reserves the right to demand that you pay the VAT amount that is due.
Refunds
If for any reason the products you receive are damaged or faulty, or even unsuitable for your purpose, return them to us unused, in their original packaging, within 14 days of receipt, and we will replace the goods or refund your payment.
Secure Shopping
We accept online payments in a secure environment using Secure Socket Layering technology (SSL) by credit or debit card. This means that on any page where you enter your personal information such as credit card details, the information sent to us is encrypted to safeguard your details. Encryption prevents other internet users from accessing this information.
We have implemented a number of measures to ensure our site and your details are as secure as possible. When you send us your personal information, the link between your PC and our server is encrypted using industry standard methods (SSL). Once your information reaches our server the card details are further encrypted before being stored on our secure sever behind its firewall. Your card number is never stored in any human readable format. Our computers use your card details to take payment automatically. Our employees have no access to any sensitive customer information.
In some instances, Independent Living Consultants will contact you via telephone after an order has been placed on the site. You will be requested to confirm details of the order and answer some security questions. This will allow the order to then be processed and dispatched promptly to you. Independent Living Consultants will never request you to confirm your registration password you use to log into your account. We expect you to maintain the confidentiality of your user name and password for your ILC account.
If you receive a suspected fake ILC e-mail, or have suspicions that the website is not the valid ILC website, or if anything raises your suspicions, please report it to us at info@ilcmobility.com forwarding any suspicious e-mails including the full headers directly.
Damage on Delivery
Goods that arrive damaged must be reported immediately by signing the delivery note ‘Damaged On Arrival’. You MUST also inform ILC as soon as possible, preferably on the SAME DAY as delivery, that damage has been noted. Any damaged goods must be retained by the buyer for any inspection. If the delivery note is signed without the comment ‘Damaged On Arrival’ the seller cannot be held responsible for damages. Customers may be requested to supply photos of the damage sustained in delivery and dispatch.
Guarantee
All products are guaranteed against defects in materials or workmanship for one year, from the date of purchase, unless otherwise stated. We recommend regular visual checks to ensure your products are not showing undue signs of wear and tear.
