myFreedom Homewares Change of Mind Policy

Version May 2022 

- For homewares products purchased by a myFreedom Member on a valid membership:

purchased in-store or online;

- for in-store purchases - collected and paid for at the time of purchase; and

other than the excluded products listed below;

In addition to the remedies available under the Freedom Warranty and applicable statute (including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993), if you change your mind you may return the product within 60 days of the date of (a) purchase, for in-store purchases, or (b) delivery, for online purchases, provided that the product is:

- returned in its original condition;

- in its original unopened and sealed packaging; and

- accompanied by proof of purchase (the sales receipt or another acceptable form of proof of purchase).

Excluded products are:

- upholstered and furniture products;

- clearance and sale products;

- products sold as seconds, floorstock, repaired products, or products that have a defect where this has been drawn to the customer’s attention before the purchase of the product;

- made to order products – products which are made to individual customer specifications, including custom made furniture products, or custom fabric products, which have to be ordered specifically for a customer.

Online products – Subject to the exclusions above, products purchased online can be returned to any Freedom store, or by post to:

Online returns Department

Items posted are at the customer’s cost and risk, and Freedom shall not refund customers for any products that it does not receive, or that it receives which are broken or damaged.

Except as set out above, Freedom will not accept a request for cancellation if you simply change your mind, unless Freedom chooses to do so at its absolute discretion.

 If Freedom does accept a request for cancellation simply due to change of mind, the customer must pay an amount to Freedom which in Freedom’s reasonable view reflects the loss that Freedom will suffer as a consequence of the cancellation (including but not limited to storage fees and any mark down). Freedom will set off this amount against any moneys already paid to us by the customer for this product, and refund the balance.

For any cancellation charges over and above what has already been paid to Freedom, the customer must pay such amounts to Freedom within 7 days of Freedom’s request to pay.

 If you have a concern about an item you purchase at Freedom, please visit our full standard terms and conditions of purchase at Freedom’s standard terms and conditions of purchase for instore purchases, or for online purchases.
