RETURNS POLICY

SCA will endeavour to repair a product first before considering exchanging or refunding a product.

Software Returns will be handled on a case by case basis. Once opened, installed and/or activated/registered there is very little we can do and in most cases returns are not possible.

Repair, Exchanges or Refunds will only be given if the product;

1. Is faulty and you were not aware of it when you bought the product;
2. Does not do the job we led you to believe it would do;
3. Does not match the sample you were shown;
4. Was not as described on this site.

SCA prides ourselves on our customer service but as per the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 we will not refund a customer for the following reasons.

1. You have simply changed you mind.
2. You have seen it cheaper somewhere else.
3. You have opened the goods.
4. You have not returned all of the goods (including original packaging).
5. The goods have been physically damaged.
6. The goods are outside of warranty.
