Cancellation policy

This policy explains how cancellations are handled for all purchases made through the Venneir website.

1. Custom-Made Products

Custom-made dental appliances are created specifically for you using your submitted impressions or scans. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, bespoke goods are exempt from standard cancellation rights once manufacturing begins. Further information can be found at www.gov.uk/accepting-returns-and-giving-refunds.

We do not offer refunds or cancellations on custom products once manufacturing has commenced.

2. Cooling-Off Period

We voluntarily offer a 14-day cooling-off period from the date your impression kit is delivered, provided:

  • The impression kit remains unopened and unused
  • You contact us within 14 days to request a cancellation
  • You return the kit at your own expense

A £25 restocking fee will be deducted from your refund. Once the kit is opened, used, or impressions have been submitted, the cooling-off period ends and the order is final. Submission of impressions constitutes your instruction to proceed with manufacture and confirms that manufacturing has commenced. No cancellation rights apply from this point.

3. Self-Impression Kits and Customer Responsibility

Our impression kits are self-impression kits, designed to be completed by you at home without professional assistance. By purchasing and using an impression kit, you acknowledge that you are taking your own impressions at your own discretion and accept full responsibility for the quality and accuracy of the impressions you submit. Venneir is not present during the impression-taking process and cannot be held responsible for errors, inaccuracies, or failed impressions resulting from the self-impression process.

The quality of your finished appliance is directly dependent on the quality of the impressions you submit. It is your responsibility to follow the impression instructions carefully before submitting. If you are unsure about your ability to take accurate impressions at home, we offer a walk-in clinic service where impressions can be taken by our team. Any fit issues arising from impression quality are outside of Venneir's control and do not qualify for a cancellation, remake, or refund.

4. Post-Cooling-Off Cancellation (Before Manufacturing Begins)

If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period but before manufacturing has started, a £125 cancellation fee will apply. This covers administrative time and the loss of allocated production resources. If your order value is less than £125, your refund will be capped at the total amount paid.

5. Cancellation Due to False or Incomplete Information

If you provide false or misleading information during the ordering process or questionnaire and your case is deemed unsuitable, a £125 cancellation fee will be deducted from your refund. If the information you provided was accurate but your case is later found to be unsuitable, you will receive a full refund.

6. Cancellation by Venneir

We reserve the right to cancel an order in the following circumstances:

  • Impressions submitted are unsuitable for manufacture
  • False or misleading information has been provided
  • Nonpayment or chargeback activity is identified
  • The order involves misuse of our services
  • The customer has failed to provide accurate self-impressions after being given the opportunity to do so

Where we cancel due to unsuitable impressions or ineligibility identified on our end, and your information was accurate, you will receive a full refund.

7. Product Exchanges and Order Changes

Where you request to change your order from one custom-made product to a different custom-made product, and that change is approved by Venneir before manufacturing has commenced, the new product will be manufactured in place of the original. If the value of the replacement product is lower than the original order value, any difference will be issued as store credit to be used against a future purchase with Venneir. The difference in value will not be refunded in cash or to the original payment method. Store credit has no expiry date and can be applied at checkout on any future order.

8. Retail Products

Retail products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, and tongue scrapers may be cancelled before dispatch at no charge. Once dispatched, our standard returns policy applies. Items must be unused, unopened, and returned within 14 days of delivery at your own expense.

9. Payment Disputes and Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer for an order that does not meet the eligibility criteria set out in this policy or our Terms of Service, Venneir reserves the right to contest that dispute and submit all relevant evidence to the card network, including order data, communications, delivery records, and impression submission records.

Initiating a payment dispute does not constitute a valid cancellation request under this policy. Where a chargeback is found to be without merit, Venneir reserves the right to seek recovery of any associated dispute fees and costs incurred as a result of the claim. Customers who initiate fraudulent or unjustified payment disputes may be permanently blocked from placing future orders with Venneir.

10. How to Cancel

To request a cancellation, contact us as soon as possible at cs@venneir.com with your order number and reason for cancellation. We will confirm whether your order is eligible and advise on next steps.

11. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 to 10 working days of confirmation. Any applicable fees will be deducted before the refund is issued.

12. Governing Law

This policy is governed by UK law. For further information on your statutory rights, visit www.gov.uk/accepting-returns-and-giving-refunds.
