Technical Stuff:

When you receive your item, you have up to 60 days to change your mind and send it back to us.

We will exchange or refund all items which:

• Are returned to us within 60 days of receipt
• And are returned to us in perfect condition for resale, i.e. unused, with their original packaging and with the labels

Refunds and exchanges will be processed within 14 days of receipt of your return.

We won’t refund you for items which have been customised for you and you may be charged a fee to return these to you– for example bespoke t-shirt prints – unless they are faulty. Our event merchandise is made to order and delivered directly from our printers, for this reason we cannot accept returns on these items.

Items that have been customised with event patches (such as thermal jackets and bags) can only be returned for store credit.

Re-selling safety equipment and underwear is not in anyone’s interest – it causes risk to safety and hygiene. Therefore, we will point you in the direction of the manufacturer in the case of the following items:

• Medical packs
• Emergency and Safety Equipment
• Underwear
• Items with mouth pieces such as hydration packs, except when a manufacturer's seal on the mouthpiece has not been broken and the containers have not been filled.

Things might not always go to plan. Items could be mis-delivered, or spam folders could catch your emails. Therefore, if you have any doubts, it’s best to email us at kit@ratrace.com where our customer service team will be happy to deal with your queries. 

 

Faulty goods

If any product we supply fails prematurely during intended use as described on our product description due to a manufacturing defect we will provide you with a replacement or repair, if this is not possible you will be issued a refund. Email us at kit@ratrace.com and we will arrange everything for you.

Please ensure that you inform us as soon as possible after receiving your goods of any damage to avoid any delays in receiving a replacement or refund. Due to the technical nature of some of the products we sell, in the event that the product has been used at least once, we will need to send it to the manufacturer to confirm that the product defect is due to a manufacturing fault - we will get in contact with you on hearing their findings.

 

Free Products 

If you return an order that was delivered with a free promotional product or bundle, this free product must also be returned. Failure to do so will result in the in the retail value of the free product being deducted from the refund amount. 

 

What if I have received my parcel, but they were not the goods ordered?

Mistakes are rare, but they might happen. In the unlikely event that we have sent you the incorrect goods, then first of all we apologise. Please email us at kit@ratrace.com as soon as you discover a mistake and we will arrange a pre-paid shipping service for the incorrect product and arrange a replacement. If you are outside the UK Mainland, please contact kit@ratrace.com to arrange reimbursement for your returns cost on this faulty or wrong item. Please note it is our policy not to reimburse any UK postage costs as we provide a pre-paid service, and will always instruct our customers to use it. Customers must always send back their order with an accompanying note identifying themselves and the reason for return - this will ensure we can process your return quickly.
