Refund policy

Returns, Refunds & Product Guarantee

We’ve simplified our policy to make returns, refunds, and warranty claims clearer and easier to understand. Please read the relevant section carefully before starting a return or making a claim.

Quick Summary

14-Day Returns
Unused items only, subject to approval and inspection.

12-Month Product Guarantee
Covers manufacturing defects only.

Returns Process
Returns must be requested through our returns portal before being sent back.

Please note:
Normal wear such as scratches, coating wear, fading, finish changes, discolouration, loose hinge tension, or general adjustment requirements are not covered.

1. Change of Mind Returns

If you change your mind about an item purchased from our website, you have 14 days from the date of delivery to submit a return or exchange request through our returns portal. Once your return is approved, you then have a further 14 days for us to receive the item.

Before You Start
  • Returns must be requested within 14 days of delivery.
  • Returns must be approved before being sent back.
  • Once approved, we must receive your item within 14 days.
  • Items must be unused, in original packaging, and in the same condition received.

We are unable to extend the return window if you fail to submit your request within the 14-day period. Items returned outside the approved timeframe will not be accepted and will be returned to sender.

2. Return Eligibility

To be eligible for a change-of-mind return, your order must meet all applicable conditions below. We reserve the right to refuse any return that shows signs of use, wear, damage, or handling beyond what is necessary to inspect the item. All items must be received as new.

Watches

  • The protective plastic film on the front, back, and strap must remain intact and must not be removed or reapplied.
  • The product box must be in perfect condition, with no rips, tears, dents, or other damage.
  • All returned watches must be clean, unworn, and free from scratches, marks, smudges, fingerprints, or other signs of wear.
  • If the protective film has been removed, the item is not eligible for return.

Sunglasses & Ski Goggles

  • Any protective sleeves, arm covers, or lens protection must remain intact.
  • The product box and packaging must be in perfect condition, with no rips, tears, dents, or other damage.
  • We do not accept incorrect product boxes that do not relate to the item sent back.
  • Returned items must be clean, unused, and free from scratches, marks, makeup, skin oil, sun cream, or other signs of wear.
  • If protective elements have been removed, the item is not eligible for return.
  • Grade A and Grade B products are final sale items and are non-returnable.

Items that do not meet the above conditions will not be accepted and will be returned to the customer. Where possible, supporting photos will be provided.

3. How to Start a Return

All returns and exchanges must be started through our returns portal. Returns sent back without first completing the returns process and receiving approval will not be accepted.

  • You must complete the returns form through our portal.
  • Once approved, we will send instructions on how and where to send your parcel.
  • The approved return must include the relevant returns form or required reference details.

If you send an item back without prior approval or without following our stated process, the parcel will not be accepted and will be returned to sender.

4. Return Delivery Charges

Return postage is the customer/buyer’s responsibility.

  • Original delivery charges are non-refundable.
  • If your original order qualified for free delivery but, following a return, the retained order value falls below the applicable free delivery threshold, the original outbound shipping cost based on the delivery service used will be deducted from your refund.
  • Free delivery is conditional upon the final retained order value meeting the applicable free shipping threshold.
  • If your order was sent with free delivery, our standard delivery charge/service used will be deducted from your refund where the returned item causes the order to fall below the free delivery threshold.
  • Royal Mail Tracked 48 is currently £3.59, Royal Mail Tracked 24 is currently £3.99, Next Day Deliver is £9.99z International order delivery deductions vary depending on country and service used.
  • We recommend using a tracked and insured shipping method, preferably one that offers shipment tracking and requires a signature upon delivery.
  • You remain responsible for the goods from the time of delivery until we have received and accepted the return.

5. Return Packaging

When returning an item, you are responsible for ensuring that the item is properly packaged. This helps prevent damage to the item and product packaging. Items must be returned with all relevant packaging and any requested paperwork or return documentation.

6. Free Delivery, Promotions & Multi-Buy Returns

Free Delivery

If your order qualified for free delivery based on a minimum order value and you choose to return an item which causes your retained order value to fall below this threshold, the standard delivery charge/service used will be deducted from any refund owed to you.

Promotional & Multi-Buy Discounts

If you purchase a product as part of a promotion, discount bundle, or multi-buy offer and later return part of that order, the remaining items will be charged at their full individual price, with any promotional discounts voided and excluded from the final refund where applicable.

Free Gifts with Purchase

If your order included a free item as part of a promotion, this free item must also be returned if the qualifying items are returned. If the free item is not returned, the full retail value of that item will be deducted from your refund.

7. Fair Use & Return Activity

We offer a fair returns policy for genuine customers. To protect our business and other customers, we monitor return behaviour. Excessive, unusual, or repeated return activity will result in additional checks and restrictions on future orders.

If your order contains multiple items and you return a significant proportion of them, a handling fee will apply where clearly stated at the time of purchase or where permitted by law. This fee helps cover processing, restocking, and administrative costs associated with multiple item returns.

8. Damaged or Faulty on Arrival

Please inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If your item is damaged on arrival, incorrect, or appears faulty at delivery, please notify us as soon as possible with your order number and clear photo or video evidence.

We ask that obvious transit damage or on-arrival issues are reported within 24 hours of delivery so we can investigate quickly. This does not affect your statutory rights, but delayed reporting will make courier-related investigations more difficult.

If no one is available to receive the delivery and the tracking status shows the item as delivered, any damage should be reported within 24 hours of the delivery timestamp.

9. European & International Returns

We are a UK-based company and do not cover return shipping costs for international returns.

  • You are responsible for arranging and paying for the return shipment.
  • We strongly recommend using a tracked service, as we cannot be held responsible for items lost in transit.
  • Our standard 14-day return policy applies to international orders, provided the item meets the conditions outlined in this policy.
  • Once your return is approved, you then have an additional 14 days for us to receive your item.
  • Orders must be returned at zero value and clearly marked as a return, not a sale of goods.
  • If duties, import charges, or handling fees are incurred because a parcel is not correctly declared, the return will be refused and returned.
  • Outgoing/original shipping charges will be deducted from the refund.

10. Refunds

Once we have received and inspected your approved return, we will notify you whether the refund has been approved. If approved, your refund will be processed to your original payment method within 5-7 business days.

If more than 10 business days have passed since approval and you have not received your refund, please contact us through our website.


11. 12 Month Product Guarantee

All watches, sunglasses, and ski goggles are covered by our 12-Month Product Guarantee from the original date of purchase, unless otherwise stated for specific accessories or excluded items.

This Product Guarantee covers manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship only. It does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, misuse, environmental exposure, minor adjustments, or changes that develop gradually over time through regular use.

Grade A and B items include a 30 day warranty only.

This Product Guarantee is provided in addition to, and does not affect, your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

12. What is Covered

We will repair, replace, or otherwise resolve an issue, at our discretion, where a product is found to have a genuine manufacturing defect.

  • Faulty hinges, screws, clasps, or fasteners failing under normal intended use.
  • Structural defects in a watch case, frame, or goggle frame not caused by impact or misuse.
  • Assembly or workmanship faults.
  • Defects that were present on delivery but became apparent shortly afterwards during normal use.

13. Warranty Assessment Process

All Product Guarantee claims are subject to assessment prior to approval.

  • Customers will be required to provide clear photographs and/or video evidence of the item to assist with the initial review process where requested.
  • Depending on the nature of the claim, age of the product, condition of the item, and information provided, we will require the item to be returned to us for further inspection before a warranty resolution is offered where necessary.
  • Claims submitted later into the Product Guarantee period will require additional supporting evidence, inspection, or return assessment before approval where the issue is not clearly shown remotely.
  • Earlier-stage claims are typically assessed remotely first; however, claims submitted after extended use require more detailed inspection due to the increased likelihood of wear, environmental exposure, accidental damage, or gradual ageing over time.
  • Any repair, replacement, goodwill resolution, or assistance provided under this Product Guarantee does not constitute acceptance of liability unless expressly confirmed by us.

14. What is Not Covered

The following are considered normal wear, environmental exposure, cosmetic change, or non-warranty issues and are not covered unless caused by a proven manufacturing defect:

  • Cosmetic wear & surface damage: scratches, marks, scuffs, chips, dents, packaging damage, or cosmetic wear to lenses, frames, cases, watches, or hardware.
  • General wear & ageing: general wear and tear, natural ageing of materials, finish changes, fading, tarnishing, verdigris, oxidation, or gradual material movement over time.
  • Minor adjustments & hinge tension: loose hinge screws, hinge tension variations, stiffness, creaking, or minor frame adjustments that occur through normal use and handling.
  • Coatings & finishes: wear, deterioration, or breakdown of coatings, including scratch-resistant coatings, mirrored coatings, lens coatings, anti-fog treatments, plating, painted finishes, and protective surface finishes.
  • Environmental & chemical exposure: damage caused by sweat, moisture, UV exposure, heat, sun cream, cosmetics, lotions, fragrances, cleaning products, chemicals, storage conditions, or temperature variation.
  • Soft materials: softening, stretching, compression, or deterioration of straps, foam, seals, padding, or other soft-contact materials.
  • Accidental or external damage: accidental damage, drops, impacts, crushing, bending, twisting, pressure damage, or misuse.
  • Unauthorised modifications: unauthorised repairs, adjustments, alterations, or modifications.
  • Missing or incomplete items: products returned incomplete or without all components relevant to the claim being present for inspection.
  • Loss, theft & consumables: loss, theft, batteries, or consumable parts unless faulty on arrival.
  • Cosmetic changes: cosmetic changes that do not affect functionality.

15. Understanding Wear, Materials & Product Ageing

Our products are designed for everyday use but are not intended to remain in as-new condition indefinitely. Over time, wearable products will naturally show signs of use and ageing.

This includes surface marks, coating wear, finish changes, oxidation, slight colour changes, or general material ageing. These are normal characteristics of use and are not considered manufacturing defects.

Issues that develop gradually over time are considered normal wear and are not manufacturing defects. Manufacturing defects are typically present at delivery or become apparent relatively early during normal intended use. Issues arising after extended or regular wear are generally considered wear rather than faults in manufacture.

16. Lens, Coating & Finish Disclaimer

Many of our products include specialist coatings and finishes, such as scratch-resistant coatings, anti-fog treatments, mirrored finishes, plated finishes, painted finishes, and other protective or decorative surface treatments.

These features are intended to improve durability, appearance, or performance, but they are not permanent and will naturally wear over time depending on use, storage, care, and environmental exposure.

Where a lens is described as scratch-resistant, this means it has a scratch-resistant coating intended to help reduce minor surface marking during normal use. It does not mean the lens is scratch-proof.

17. Warranty Period, Replacements & Proof of Purchase

  • The Product Guarantee is valid for 12 months from the original purchase date only.
  • Proof of purchase is required for all claims.
  • The Product Guarantee is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser.
  • If a product is repaired or replaced, the repaired or replacement item remains covered only for the remainder of the original 12-month period.
  • The warranty is not indefinite and does not restart, renew, or extend when a replacement is provided.

18. How to Make a Product Guarantee Claim

To make a claim, please contact us through our website or customer support channel with:

  • Your order number or proof of purchase.
  • A clear description of the issue.
  • Clear photographs and/or video evidence of the issue.
  • Any additional information reasonably requested to assess the claim.

Items must not be returned without prior approval.

19. Inspection, Assessment & Manufacturer Consultation

We will assess claims remotely first using the evidence provided where possible. Where necessary, we will require the item to be returned for inspection and will consult with the manufacturer or supplier before confirming the outcome of a claim.

All claims are assessed individually. We reserve the right to determine, acting reasonably, whether an issue is due to a manufacturing defect or to normal wear, accidental damage, misuse, improper care, or environmental exposure.

Claims that do not meet the criteria of a manufacturing defect under this policy will be declined. If an item is returned for inspection and is found not to have a manufacturing defect, it will be returned to the customer at their expense.

20. Condition of Items Submitted for Assessment

Any item submitted for warranty assessment must be in a condition suitable for inspection. We will refuse or limit a claim where a product is excessively worn, unhygienic, incomplete, altered, or damaged beyond the issue being claimed.

Where a claim relates to a missing, detached, or damaged component, all relevant parts relating to the issue must be provided or visible during assessment.

21. Shipping Costs for Product Guarantee Claims

If a claim is confirmed as a genuine manufacturing defect, we will cover reasonable return or replacement shipping costs where applicable or where required by law.

If a claim is found not to be covered under the Product Guarantee, shipping costs remain the responsibility of the customer. We recommend using a tracked service whenever returning items to us.

22. Gift Cards

Purchasing and Validity

  • PUNCH Gift Cards are issued digitally and can only be redeemed on our official website.
  • Gift Cards are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase unless otherwise required by law.
  • Gift Cards are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash except where required by law.

Using Gift Cards

  • Gift Cards can be used as full or part payment for eligible products.
  • If your order total exceeds the Gift Card balance, the remaining amount must be paid using another accepted payment method.
  • Only one Gift Card may be used per transaction unless otherwise stated.

Gift Card Returns and Refunds

If you return an item purchased with a Gift Card within our change-of-mind returns policy, any approved refund will be issued in accordance with the original payment split, unless consumer law requires otherwise.

If goods are faulty, not as described, or otherwise breach your statutory rights, refunds will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

Preventing Misuse

We reserve the right to investigate and reject returns or purchases where there is evidence of misuse, including attempts to use Gift Cards to bypass normal returns or refund rules. For example, purchasing a Gift Card, using it to buy items, and then seeking a cash/card refund is not permitted. In such cases, refunds will be issued via Gift Card only unless otherwise required by law.

Lost or Stolen Gift Cards

Please treat Gift Cards like cash. We will be unable to replace lost or stolen Gift Cards unless satisfactory proof of purchase is provided.

Your Legal Rights

This policy does not affect your statutory rights under UK consumer law. You are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of purchasing a Gift Card, provided it has not been used, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. For faulty or misdescribed goods, you have the right to a full refund, repair, or replacement under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

23. Return Address

Please do not send any returns to our registered office address. All returns must be approved through our returns portal before being sent back. Once your return is approved, we will provide the correct returns address and any relevant instructions.

If you send an item to the registered office address or fail to complete the return through our portal, your package will be returned to sender.

24. Statutory Rights

Nothing in this policy excludes or limits your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts Regulations, or any other applicable consumer protection law.

25. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update or amend this policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website. The version in force at the time of your order will apply unless a change is required by law.
