Complaints Policy

Last updated 1st January 2024

This policy explains how:

- you, the customers, can raise a complaint about our goods; and

- how we will deal with complaints.

We will always aim to provide high quality goods and to provide a high standard of customer care. 

We recognise however that sometimes we may not get things right and as such, it is important that you can raise any issues or complaints with us.

How to Make a Complaint

If you would like to make a complaint, you can do so via email to: trush@vayuearth.com

Information

Please include the following information in your complaint:

- Your full name

- Your contact details (telephone and email)

- The fact that you are raising a complaint

- Any relevant dates and times which are relevant to your complaint

- The type of goods we have provided to you

- Any order or reference numbers we have provided to you

- A key summary of the problem or problems you have experienced and why the goods or any related customer services were not satisfactory.

What to Expect

Complaints will be processed and looked at during our business hours which are:

Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm

Complaints will be dealt with by our designated complaints handling team.

Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge your complaint within 7 business days of our receipt of it.

Investigation

We will then conduct a thorough investigation into your complaint. We may need to contact you in order to obtain further details during the investigation.

Response

A response to your complaint will ordinarily be provided to you via email.

We will ordinarily provide the full response within 14 business days of our receipt of your complaint.

Sometimes, the investigation may take longer. If this is the case we will contact you to tell you, and you will be provided with a revised timeframe within which you should expect to receive a response. You will receive regular updates thereafter.

We may agree with all or some of your grounds of complaint. If this is the case, we will aim to offer a

satisfactory solution to you, which may include:

- A full refund

- A partial refund

- Credit or vouchers

- A discount code for future goods

- Replacement goods

We will offer the solution which we judge is most appropriate in the circumstances. The above examples are the usual solutions we may offer, although there may be occasions where we offer a different solution where this is appropriate.

If we do not agree with your grounds of complaint, you will be provided with full details to explain why this is the case. If you are unhappy with this decision, you may wish to progress matters externally (see below).

Ombudsman

The following ombudsman scheme can assist in resolving disputes about our goods:

HTTPS://WWW.FINANCIAL-OMBUDSMAN.ORG.UK

If you are not content with our response, you can provide a letter confirming that we have reached a

position of deadlock so that your complaint can be considered by the ombudsman. Furthermore, if the complaint has not been resolved or you have not heard from us within 8 weeks, you will also have the right to refer the complaint to the ombudsman.

Following any deadlock letter or after the above period of time has elapsed, you will have a period of 2 months to refer the matter to the ombudsman.

Details about the ombudsman, including further information about the time limits and requirements, can be found here:

Our Regulator

Our goods are regulated by: 

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE (EC DIRECTIVE) REGULATIONS 2002

Details about our regulatory body can be found here: 

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/2013

You have the option of contacting our regulatory body in relation to a complaint about our required

standards should you deem this appropriate.

Legal Claims

We would always hope that disputes can be resolved at the lowest possible level. However, if the

complaint cannot be resolved by any of the above methods, you may wish to obtain legal advice and/or explore other legal remedies which may be available to you.

Information about your legal rights as a consumer can be found on the Citizens Advice Bureau website.
