Goods not fit for intended purpose

The cost of returning the goods will be for the account of Yoco.
Damage in transit
Yoco will always ensure that the greatest care is taken during transit and delivery of the purchased items. If, however, you feel that the unit has been damaged in transit, please contact Yoco immediately informing us of the possible damage. (Photos of the unit as it arrives will assist us in improving the service of our delivery partners).
If it is ascertained that the reader was indeed damaged in transit, Yoco will arrange for the delivery of a replacement reader within 2 working days. The damaged reader will be collected at the time of the second delivery.
If a card machine is damaged due to negligent/improper handling, it will only be replaced once you have paid the advertised retail price for a new card machine.
Yoco will not be responsible for covering the cost of a card machine that has been damaged by you or your customers.
Please always refer to the section “Caring for your Card Reader” in order to ensure that the device is handled correctly and does not get damaged.
