Summary of some of your key rights:

The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that: in relation to the purchase of goods, that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund. The main exception relates to goods with a hygiene seal that has been broken. You have the right to inspect the goods like you would in a shop, but if the hygiene seal is broken, we cannot accept a return unless the item was broken or faulty; and in relation to the purchase of digital content, that you have a 14 day right to change your mind and get a full refund on your digital content. You do not have this right to cancel once you have started streaming or downloading content, provided you have been told this and have acknowledged this. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods and digital content must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. In relation to the purchase of goods, during the expected lifespan of your product you’re entitled to the following: · up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, you can get a refund; · up to six months: if it can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund in most cases; · up to six years: if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back. In relation to the purchase of digital content, if your digital content is faulty, you’re entitled to a repair or a replacement. If the fault can’t be fixed, or if it hasn’t been fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you can get some, or all of your money back. If you can show the fault has damaged your device and we haven’t used reasonable care and skill, you may be entitled to a repair or compensation. This is a summary of some of your key rights. For detailed information from Citizens Advice please visit www.citizensadvice.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06. The information in this summary box summarises some of your key rights. It is not intended to replace the contract below which you should read carefully.

Claims on Our Website

  1. “The best website in the world for anyone with an injury!”
  2. “Get fast, free advice from the No.1 Online Injury Experts”

 

  1. Quote taken from Selina Biles after having used our website in 2021: “It’s awesome – it’s like the best website in the world for anyone with an injury!”
  2. We recognise that claims of being “No.1” are an often-used turn of phrase on the internet – for our part, we based this (admittedly subjective) belief on the fact that our website at the time of writing was the most informative and detailed physiotherapy website we could find online, with the most coherent branding, and the simplest search functionality; allowing our website visitors to easily identify and explore ways to remedy their injury from our 250 injury condition articles that we have free of charge.
