Returns

**Changed your mind? No problem. ** When purchased from yotoplay.com, you can return Yoto Players, Yoto Minis, Yoto Cards, Yoto Card Packs or Yoto supplied accessories within 60 days of purchase, for any reason. For orders placed between 1 October and 31 December, you can return your items within 60 days or by 31 January, whichever is later.

To be eligible for a return, items must be undamaged, unopened (for Yoto Cards and Yoto Card Packs), in their original packaging, and with all the original contents.

Return arrangements may vary by region (see details below).

Please note: If your Yoto product develops a fault and you would prefer a refund, and it was purchased from Amazon or another retailer (whether online or at a retail outlet), you will need to return it to your original place of purchase. Each retailer has their own returns process, so it’s best to check their policy before getting started.

Recycling and WEEE

You might be surprised to learn that WEEE is not in fact the sound of a child plummeting down a slide, but it’s actually the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Directive. It’s far more exciting and useful than it sounds, so please do read on!

Sure. So what is it? The Directive states that as a retailer, we must provide a way for customers buying our new electrical products (i.e. Yoto Player, Yoto Mini, Headphones), the opportunity to recycle their old electrical items free of charge. We are registered with a company called Valpak to help us offer this service through their Distributor Take Back Scheme. We are also registered with Valpak for manufacturer compliance under the Directive.

Which items can be recycled? Wherever you see a picture of a wheelie bin crossed out, this is to show you that old electrical equipment can be recycled - reusing or safely disposing of any hazardous materials, and not be thrown away in your normal waste. So please keep it separate from your other waste and don’t throw it out!

Count me in! Where do I recycle them? Head over to www.ecosystem.eco/ for how to find a local recycling facility

Great. Now, show me the legal stuff. Ok! Our WEEE Producer number is WEE/MM6680AA Our Battery Producer number is BPRN09070 Our DTS registration ID is 600035
