Refund policy
Return Steps
To begin a return, kindly contact our team at hello@fohen.co.uk. Note that returns need to be approved by Fohen before you proceed.
Upon approval, we will offer you a returns label. Given the premium nature of our products, we manage secure and insured returns through our partner, DPD. Please refrain from independently returning the item to mitigate potential issues.
Repackage the item in its initial packaging. Be sure to incorporate your order number and the reason for return on a separate note – avoid marking the original packaging.
Attach the provided returns label and dispatch the item back to our depot. Our team of technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection using cutting-edge technology to confirm the product is in prime working condition.
After receiving and reviewing, our team will progress with processing the return. Please understand that refunds could take up to 10 working days from when we receive the returned item.
Returning Unwanted Items
Changed your mind about your purchase? That’s alright. Notify us within 30 days of receiving the item and ensure its return within 30 days from the purchase date. Request a returns label from hello@fohen.co.uk, and we will guide you through the process. A fee of £30 will be applied to cover the return of the product. The item should be in its original, unmarked, and sellable condition.
Exchange
Have you spotted a different product variant that aligns better with your requirements? No problem, we’re pleased to manage exchanges. Connect with our team to establish which parts you need to return. We levy a modest fee of £30 to cover return costs, delivery of the replacement product. Please note, the item must be in sellable condition for the exchange to be approved.
Faulty or Damaged Items upon Receipt
If any faults or damages are noticed upon receiving your product before installation, kindly reach out to us within 14 days at hello@fohen.co.uk. It’s crucial to undertake necessary checks within this period. Our team will direct you through the resolution process, which may require providing evidence of the damage. We will then review the situation and aim to deliver a solution promptly.
Returns, Faults & Technical Support
We only accept returns for a full refund on products that are unused, unopened, and in their original packaging.
Once a product has been installed, used, or altered in any way, it is no longer eligible for return or refund, even if a fault later develops.
If a product develops a fault after installation, our process is as follows:
-
Technical Support First
All faults must be reported to us by email. Our technical team will first provide troubleshooting guidance and instructions to help resolve the issue remotely. -
Replacement Parts
If the issue cannot be resolved through troubleshooting, we will arrange for replacement parts to be sent out where appropriate, in line with the product warranty. -
Replacements (If Required)
If replacement parts do not resolve the issue and the product is deemed faulty under warranty, a like-for-like replacement may be offered.
Please note:
- Installed or used products are not eligible for a full refund.
- Plumbing, installation, call-out, or labour costs are not covered and remain the customer’s responsibility, even where replacement parts are supplied.
- We do not offer on-site repairs or engineer visits.
This policy applies regardless of whether the product fault requires parts replacement or further technical assistance.
Warranty & Guarantees
All our products are accompanied by a minimum 12-month manufacturer’s guarantee, starting from the purchase date. Our standard warranty covers one year on the boiler and one year on the tap unless specified otherwise. If a defect arises within this period, please contact us first. We will instruct you on the forthcoming steps. Keep in mind, all products reported as faulty will be assessed by manufacturers. If the defects are determined to be due to damage or misuse, the warranty will be invalidated, and the product will be returned to you.
Filter Change Guidelines
To keep your Fohen product performing at its best and to ensure your warranty remains intact, please follow these essential guidelines:
Regular Filter Changes
For Soft Water Areas: Every 6 Months: Change your filters every 6 months to maintain optimal performance and water quality.
For Hard Water Areas: If you’re in a hard water area, replace your filters every 3 months to prevent scale buildup and protect your system.
Know Your Water Type
Check Water Hardness: Determine if your area has hard water by consulting your local water authority or using a home test kit. Adjust your filter replacement schedule accordingly. You can use the website below to check your water type:
Use Only Approved Filters
Purchase from Fohen: Always use filters purchased directly from Fohen or our approved partners to ensure they meet our high standards.
Protect Your Warranty: Using non-approved filters can damage your system and will void your warranty. Stick with Fohen-approved filters to keep your system running smoothly.
Cancellation
If you wish to cancel your order, it is crucial to act swiftly due to our prompt packing and dispatch procedures. Please call our customer service line immediately upon deciding to cancel.
We would like to inform you that we typically process orders for shipping as soon as they are received to maintain our delivery commitment of 1-2 working days. As such, we may not be able to prevent an order from being dispatched after it’s placed.
While we strive to manage emails promptly, due to the volume of communications we receive, it might take up to three working days for us to respond or even see your email as it will be in the queue. Therefore, the most reliable way to cancel an order in time is by calling us.
Please be aware that a £30 cancellation fee will be charged if the order has been dispatched before the cancellation is made. This fee merely covers the costs of packaging, shipping fees, high-value insurance, and charges from our delivery company. Rest assured, there will be no charges if the order is cancelled before dispatch.
Our team is committed to processing refunds as swiftly as possible after a successful cancellation. However, if you find it challenging to reach us by phone, kindly follow up with an email to hello@fohen.co.uk to ensure your cancellation request is duly noted and actioned.
Remember, our team is here to make your shopping experience seamless and hassle-free. If you need additional support or have more questions, do not hesitate to contact us at hello@fohen.co.uk.
