To meet the deadline for rescission, it is sufficient for you to either dispatch the product to be returned within 30 days from receipt or to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of rescission before the rescission period has expired. If the products in your order are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery. You will receive a refund including any standard delivery costs you paid. This is subject to the conditions set out below:

• Excluding harmonicas, ear-plugs and in-ear monitors of which the packaging is unsealed after delivery.
• Excluding products that have been made to your specification or have been personalised for you. 
• Returned items must be in their original condition with no signs of wear, damage, dings or scrapes and include all original packaging, manuals, warranties, accessories, etc (if applicable). You are only liable for any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products.  

If you have communicated that you exercise your right of rescission, you must send back the products or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your rescission from the purchase contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the products before the period of 14 days has expired.

If you are returning a product to us by post, it must be securely packaged. 

If you rescind from the purchase contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day we receive the goods back from you or (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods. Deduction could be made from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. 

We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise.  

Fender will issue refunds & credits via Fender Sales BV. We also reserve the right to issue refunds & credits via Fender Sales BV.
