Refunds & returns
Last updated: 22 July 2026
The short version: if your card arrives faulty, damaged, or doesn't arrive at all, we replace it or refund you in full — no quibble. Because each card is printed and encoded to your personal profile, change-of-mind returns are more limited, but talk to us and we'll be fair.
1. Faulty or damaged cards
If your card doesn't tap, arrives damaged, or stops working through normal use, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll send a free replacement or give you a full refund — your choice. After 30 days we'll still replace cards that fail through no fault of yours. This sits alongside your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
2. Cards that don't arrive
Dispatch is normally within 7–10 working days. If your card hasn't arrived within 14 days of your dispatch email, let us know and we'll send a replacement or refund you in full.
3. Changed your mind?
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you normally have 14 days to cancel a distance purchase. Cards that have been printed and encoded to your profile are personalised goods, so the statutory cancellation right doesn't apply to them once production has started — but if you cancel before we've produced your card, we'll refund you in full. Get in touch quickly and we'll tell you where your order is.
4. Your free profile
Your digital profile is free. There's nothing to cancel or refund — you can delete your account at any time from your dashboard settings.
5. Pro subscription
Pro is optional and included free with every card (3 months with plastic, 6 with bamboo and dual-chip, 12 with metal). If you take paid Pro — on its own or after the included period ends — it renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time from your dashboard: cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Pro until the end of the period you've already paid for. Monthly Pro (£3.99) is not refundable for the current month. Annual Pro (£39) cancelled within 14 days of purchase, and unused, is refunded in full. Cancelling Pro never affects your card, profile, contact-back or analytics — those keep working. Full details are in our Terms.
6. How to ask for a refund or replacement
Reply to your order confirmation email, or email hello@universalcontacts.co.uk with your order details. Refunds go back to your original payment method within 14 days of us agreeing the refund. A real person reads every message.
7. Your statutory rights
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights as a UK consumer.
