Other Information

How to Contact Us - Award-Session is a very small company. Please help us by searching our website for the information you are seeking BEFORE ASKING VIA EMAIL. We know it's easier for you to ask questions in an email... but all this does is clog our inbox and takes much longer for us to reply; and we have very limited personnel. This is why we have a website... to impart information to those who need our help or services.

Good customer service is important to us, but there is a limit to the volume of emails we can deal with each day. THANK YOU for your kind consideration.

Contact By Phone - Due to people ordering goods and services online, and that it represents a security risk for customers giving their cards details over the phone... our telephone has, regrettably, become redundant. This means that you can only speak to us via email.

Contact By Email - We try to reply to emails within twenty four hours. However, at times we receive high volumes of emails and we may take a little longer. Award-Session does not guarantee to reply to all emails, depending on the nature of the content. Please bare in mind that emails may not be received by us and that replies are unlikely to be instantly received by the recipient. You can send your email to: info@Award-Session.com

Our office is sometimes closed on a Friday or Monday during quieter seasons. Particularly during July to October. Emails will be replied to as soon as we can

Contact By Letter or sending items for servicing - Please write to us at the following administration address:

Award-Session, 34 Belvedere, Basingstoke, RG24 8GB, UK
(Reception address only. No goods held on site)

Business Hours - Our business hours are 10am to 18:30 Monday to Friday. We are closed at weekends and on bank holidays. Telephone answering machines may be in operation at various times.

Phone Orders - Credit/debit card companies do not generally want us to accept orders by phone. Understandably, storing paper records of your details presents security risks. Please place your orders online, for increased security, if you can.

Personal Callers - We are not a shop or warehouse, so goods are not held at the administration address quoted on this page. But we are always pleased to see customers who make an appointment with us before visiting.

Personal Collections/Returns - We are not a shop or warehouse, so goods are not held at the administration address quoted on this page. Therefore, customers wishing to collect their online purchases or return items can do so, but by prior arrangement only. This is so that we can ensure your goods are available at the above address in time. Please ensure you have a copy of the order advice sent to you by email and some form of ID with you when you arrive. Drivers License, Passport or Credit/Debit cards are acceptable forms of ID.

Who Is - Award-Session is a privately owned Internet business run by Stewart Ward, T/A Award-Session, operating it from the address shown above.

You are responsible for ensuring safe delivery of the returned item.

Consumer Protection - According to Distance Selling Regulations 2000, consumers who purchase items from a business seller over the internet, where there is no face-to-face contact between the seller and the buyer before the contract is made, generally have the right to cancel their purchase within 7 working days (starting the day after the item is received).

Important Note - Some items are excluded from the right of cancellation (also referred to as the right of withdrawal).

ORDERS FOR CUSTOM MADE PRODUCTS CANNOT BE CANCELLED ONCE THE ORDER HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND STARTED

Please read 'Customer Ordered Wrong Item' below in conjunction with this term.

Damage Claims - Any claims for damage, non-functionality and mis-shipping must be made within three days of receipt. After this date, faulty goods returned within a reasonable time will be refunded or replaced as compliant with the amended Sale of goods Act 1979.

What we will do when:

Order Is Not Received - Once an order has been despatched, it is in the hands of our carrier. We cannot influence their service in any way. Total loss or significant delays are very rare. However, we do not know that any order is missing until you tell us that it has not been received. Therefore, we ask that you inform us by email or phone as soon as practicable, but certainly within 7 days of placing your order. Our contact details are at the top of this page.

Faulty Items/Goods Damaged - In the unlikely event that any item is damaged or faulty, please tell us within three business days of receiving your order. We will send you a replacement item within two business days, along with a prepaid label (UK ONLY) to send the suspect item back to us. Please reuse the postal bag that the replacement item arrives in and send to the address shown on the ‘Contact’ page of this website.

If you are outside the UK, there are no ways to send a Pre-Paid returns label. Please send the suspect goods the address quoted above.

Incorrect Goods Received - If we send you the wrong item, please tell us within three business days of receiving your order. We will send you the correct item within two business days, along with a prepaid label to send the wrong item back to us. Please reuse the postal bag that the replacement item arrived in and send to the address shown on the ‘Contact’ page of this website.

If you are outside the UK, there are no ways to send a Pre-Paid returns label. Please send the suspect goods the address quoted above.

Customer Ordered Wrong Item - We are happy to exchange goods that customers have ordered by mistake, but please contact us by email or phone first. However, there is a cost involved to cover our expenses. The actual cost will be dependent on what was bought, but there is a minimum administration charge of £10 plus the cost of shipping the replacement goods. We are not responsible for items lost or damaged in transit to us.

In the case of items made specially to order (ClearTone Cables), we generally will quote the customer a cost of converting the incorrectly ordered item into the correct item needed. We regret that we are unable to exchange incorrect goods for the correct ones... otherwise we end up with 'special' cables which we will probably not be able to sell.

We are happy to help our customers, but a small charge will be made to simply cover our costs of correcting items. It is best to seek advice before ordering if you are not certain of what you want.

Award-Session does not posess detailed knowledge of any equipment on the market. If you are hooking up two items, then you should contact the equipment makers for help.

Award-Session simply makes what customers have ordered and cannot be held responsible for errors on behalf of the customer.

Dispute Resolution - Award-Session recognises your rights to a satisfactory solution to any situation. However, please treat our staff with respect at all times. In the first instance, please email us. If you feel you have not had a satisfactory response to your particular issue, then please feel free to drop the owner a line and he will personally try to resolve the problem. Please address it to: Stewart Ward, Award-Session, 34 Belvedere, Basingstoke, RG24 8GB, UK

Please be advised that Award-Session products are not made or stored at this address.

Whatever your problem... let us know about it! We are friendly people providing you with top quality products.

Thank you, in anticipation of your custom - it is greatly appreciated by all of us.
