What can I do in case of an incident?

Incidents within 24/48 hours of delivery with signs of the damaged package:

All our products leave the warehouse with the packaging in perfect condition.

If you as a customer detect any damage on delivery, it is INDISPENSABLE that you state it clearly on the dispatch note of the courier company indicating for instance PACKAGE VISIBLY DAMAGED.

If you as a customer inform us of an incident within 24 hours of delivery attaching the scanned dispatch note, we can use this document to claim on the shipper's insurance and replace the damaged product with a new one once the incident has been solved.

Incidents between 48 hours and 15 days of delivery:

If your order arrived damaged, or you’re having problems with a product you’ve bought, please contact us as soon as possible at info@caralarm.ie

We will require an image or video showing the damage, fault or incorrect item received to be able to provide a solution. The most common solutions to resolving issues relating to damaged or faulty goods are:

We may be able to provide a replacement.
We may offer a discount to keep the goods with minor damage.

If we cannot replace the item, and you do not wish to accept a discount, you can cancel the order and return the goods for a full refund. We may be able to collect the goods or provide you with a free returns label. However, if we can’t collect the item or provide a free returns label, we will refund reasonable returns postage costs upon you providing a copy of your returns postage receipt.

Damaged or faulty goods:

We will accept the replacement of the wrong products. Car Alarm Marketplace will pay for the shipping expenses as long as we are informed of the incident within 48 hours of delivery, except if Car Alarm Marketplace decides to refund the value of the product instead.

Warranty and Technical support after 15 days of delivery:

All products have a 1-year guarantee offered by the manufacturer from the date of delivery except in the case of perishable products or health and hygiene products. Defects caused by negligence, hits, misuse or tampering, wrong voltage or installation, or wear and tear, are not included. In the case of IT products, the guarantee does not cover virus removal, programme restoration or disc reinstallation. In the case of incidents where a claim on the warranty is justified, the product will be repaired, replaced, returned, or have its price reduced, in compliance with the law.

The warranty will be void:

If any detail of the warranty or the proof of purchase is modified, altered or replaced; and/or

If the identification number or the warranty product is tampered with or repaired without prior authorisation by the Technical Service.

To make use of the warranty, you must communicate this to us at info@caralarm.ie indicating:

Order number
Product Description
Description of the product's problem - Attached photos in the case of visible damage
Each case will be dealt with individually and you will be given the technical service by the Car Alarm Team

In which cases will Car Alarm not refund 100% of the product's value?

If the product has clear signs of misuse, unjustified damage or arrives in bad condition;
If the product is returned without the packaging, with damaged packaging, or with transport labels that make the packaging unusable - 50% of the product's value will be discounted; and
If the product is returned with missing parts or accessories, or if the incident description is not real - the product will not be refunded.
VERY IMPORTANT: No refund will be made for products returned to Car Alarm Marketplace that are not faulty or whose incident description is not real.

Additional information:

Goods returned must be in a saleable condition.
Goods returned must be unworn/unused with original tags and packaging.
Goods should be packaged so that both the item and the brand packaging (if applicable) are not damaged in transit. Car Alarm Marketplace does not accept responsibility for items damaged in transit.
You are responsible for the return postage costs unless an item has arrived faulty or damaged.
We strongly recommend using a tracked mail service (with insurance where appropriate for goods value), retaining proof of postage. Car Alarm Marketplace does not accept responsibility for items lost in return transit.

What happens if the customer does not collect an order?

When an order is not collected by the consignee, it will be returned to our warehouse. Once we have received it, it will be processed by the Technical Support Team and passed on to the Administration Department for the refund to be processed. The order shipment and the return to the warehouse entail transportation expenses, which the company or person who placed the order must pay for. Consequently, you will receive a payment corresponding to the order return minus the two-way delivery expenses.

This process may take up to 4 weeks
