Return and Refund Policy

At Midlands Power, we stand behind the quality of our lithium battery products. This Return Policy sets out your rights and our obligations when a return, replacement, or refund is required. It applies to all purchases made through our website at https://midlandspower.com/ and covers both UK and international customers, subject to the conditions described below.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK customers) or equivalent consumer protection legislation in your country of residence.

 

1. WHO WE ARE

Midlands Power WSS – Suite 5, Oxford Street Industrial Estate Vulcan Road, Bilston, West Midlands, WV14 7LF, England 

We are a UK-based lithium battery manufacturer. Our products are manufactured at our facility in Wolverhampton and sold to customers in the United Kingdom and across more than 20 international markets.

 

2. RETURNS WINDOW

You may request a return within 30 days of the date you receive your order. After this period, we are unable to accept returns unless the product is faulty or subject to a valid warranty claim (see Section 5).

To be eligible for a return, your item must:

  •       be unused and in its original, unmodified condition;
  •       be in its original packaging, with all accessories, documentation, and labels intact;
  •       not have been damaged through misuse, improper installation, or failure to follow our product guidelines; and
  •       be accompanied by proof of purchase (order confirmation or receipt).

 

3. NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS

The following items cannot be returned or refunded:

  •       Products that have been used, installed, or modified in any way.
  •       Custom or made-to-order battery cells manufactured to your specification.
  •       Products damaged due to misuse, neglect, improper storage, or failure to follow our technical guidelines.
  •       Products returned without prior authorisation (see Section 4).
  •       Products where the original serial number or identification label has been removed or tampered with.

 

If you are unsure whether your item is eligible for return, please contact us before sending anything back.

 

4. HOW TO REQUEST A RETURN

All returns must be authorised by us before the product is sent back. To initiate a return:

 

Step 1 – Contact Us

Reach out within your 30-day returns window using one of the methods below. Please include your order number, a description of the issue, and supporting photographs where relevant.

 

Step 2 – Receive a Return Authorisation

We will review your request and, if eligible, issue a Return Merchandise Authorisation (RMA) number and return instructions within 5 business days.

 

Step 3 – Ship the Item

Package the product securely, include your RMA number clearly on the outside of the package, and ship it to the address provided in your authorisation. We recommend using a tracked and insured delivery service. We cannot accept liability for items lost or damaged in transit.

 

Step 4 – Inspection and Decision

Once we receive the returned item, we will inspect it within 5 business days and notify you of our decision by email.

 

5. FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

If your product arrives damaged or develops a defect that is not caused by misuse, improper installation, or external damage, you may be entitled to a remedy beyond our standard 30-day returns window under our product warranty or your statutory consumer rights.

Please contact us as soon as you notice the defect. We will ask you to describe the issue and may request photographs or other evidence before arranging an inspection or replacement.

Where a product is confirmed to be faulty or defective, we will offer, at our discretion:

  •       a repair or replacement of the affected product; or
  •       a full or partial refund, depending on the nature and severity of the defect and the time elapsed since purchase.

 

UK customers are entitled to additional rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the right to a repair or replacement within the first six months of purchase, and the right to a price reduction or refund if a repair or replacement is not possible or is not carried out within a reasonable time.

 

6. REFUNDS

Approved refunds

Once your return has been received and inspected, we will notify you by email whether your refund has been approved or rejected. If approved, your refund will be processed to your original payment method within 10 business days.

Please note that your bank or card provider may take additional time to post the refund to your account. If you have not received your refund within 15 business days of our approval email, please contact us.

Partial refunds

We may issue a partial refund where:

  •       the product is returned in a condition other than its original state (e.g., opened packaging, minor wear);
  •       only part of an order is returned; or
  •       a deduction is made for any free gifts or promotional items that were included with the order and not returned.

Original shipping costs

Original outbound shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error or a confirmed product defect. If a refund is approved, the cost of return shipping may be deducted from your refund amount unless we have agreed to cover it.

 

7. EXCHANGES

We replace products only where they are confirmed to be defective or damaged on arrival. If you need to exchange a product for the same item due to a manufacturing defect, please contact us following the process in Section 4.

If you wish to exchange a product for a different item or specification, please return the original product for a refund (subject to eligibility) and place a new order.

 

8. INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

We supply products to customers in over 20 countries. If you are returning a product from outside the United Kingdom, the following additional conditions apply:

  •       You are responsible for all return shipping costs, customs duties, and import taxes associated with returning the product to us in the UK.
  •       Products must be clearly marked as “Returned Goods” on any customs documentation to avoid import duty charges. We cannot accept liability for duties or taxes incurred due to incorrect customs declarations.
  •       International returns may take longer to process due to transit times and customs clearance. We will begin our inspection within 5 business days of receiving the item.
  •       Refunds to international customers will be made in pounds sterling (GBP) to your original payment method. Exchange rate fluctuations are outside our control.

 

International customers retain any statutory rights available to them under the consumer protection laws of their country of residence, in addition to the rights set out in this policy.

 

9. RETURN SHIPPING COSTS

Unless the return is due to our error or a confirmed product defect, you are responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. We recommend using a trackable, insured shipping service. Midlands Power does not accept liability for items that are lost or damaged on their way back to us.

Where we have agreed to cover return shipping costs (for example, in the case of a confirmed defect), we will provide a pre-paid return label or reimburse reasonable postage costs upon receipt of evidence.

 

10. SALE AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS

Items purchased at a discounted or promotional price are subject to the same return conditions as full-price items. Only the price actually paid will be refunded — we do not refund the original full price.

Free gifts or promotional items included with an order must be returned if the associated purchased item is returned. If a free gift is not returned, its value may be deducted from your refund.

 

11. YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS

Nothing in this Return Policy limits or excludes your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection law. In particular:

  •       UK customers have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the right to goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described.
  •       EU customers may have additional rights under national consumer protection legislation implementing EU Directives.
  •       This policy is in addition to, and does not replace, any rights you have under applicable law.

 

If you are unsure of your rights, we encourage you to seek independent advice or contact your local consumer protection authority.
