Excellent — the Returns & Refund Policy is the final piece of your website’s legal and customer service framework.

For Infinite Engineering Ltd, the policy should reflect that your products are primarily custom-engineered and made to order, while still complying with UK consumer protection and business regulations.

Here’s a professionally drafted and UK-compliant Returns & Refund Policy, tailored specifically for a precision engineering / manufacturing business like yours 👇


Returns & Refund Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2025

1. Introduction

At Infinite Engineering Ltd, we take great pride in the quality and precision of our work.
Each component and assembly is manufactured to exact specifications, and every order is inspected before dispatch.
This Returns & Refund Policy explains when and how returns, replacements, or refunds may be accepted.


2. Custom and Made-to-Order Products

Most of our products are custom-made or manufactured to specific customer drawings and requirements.
As such, these items cannot be returned or refunded once production has commenced, except where:

  • The product is faulty, damaged, or non-conforming to the agreed specification, or

  • We have made a manufacturing or processing error.

In such cases, we will review the issue and, where appropriate, offer a replacement, repair, or refund at our discretion.


3. Standard Stock Items

If you purchase a standard or stock item (not made to order), you may request a return within 14 calendar days of receipt, provided that:

  • The item is unused, undamaged, and in its original packaging, and

  • You obtain a Return Authorisation Number (RAN) by contacting us before returning the goods.

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective or incorrect.


4. Damaged or Incorrect Goods

Please inspect your order upon receipt and notify us of any issues within 48 hours of delivery.
If goods arrive damaged, incorrect, or not as described, please email info@infiniteengineering.co.uk with:

  • Your order or invoice number

  • Photographs showing the issue

  • A brief description of the problem

We will investigate promptly and arrange a replacement, credit, or refund where appropriate.


5. Refund Process

Once your return is received and inspected:

  • We will notify you by email confirming approval or rejection of your refund.

  • Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method within 7–10 business days.

Please note that bank processing times may vary depending on your financial institution.


6. Non-Returnable Items

We cannot accept returns for:

  • Custom-manufactured or bespoke components

  • Goods that have been used, modified, or damaged after delivery

  • Special-order materials or items sourced specifically for your project

  • Products returned without prior authorisation


7. Cancellations

Order cancellations must be made in writing to info@infiniteengineering.co.uk.
If production has not yet begun, we may accept the cancellation without charge.
Once materials have been ordered or machining has started, cancellation may incur material and labour costs proportional to work completed.


8. Warranty

All products supplied by Infinite Engineering Ltd are covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use.
This warranty does not cover wear and tear, misuse, incorrect installation, or third-party modifications.
