Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:

Your Contract End of the cancellation period

You can also e-mail Us at [email protected] or contact our customer services team by telephone on 01772 431 216.

For example, you will have given Us notice in time as long as you e-mail Us before midnight on that day.

  • 9.5 - If you cancel your Contract We will:

    (a) - refund you the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note We are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. See our Returns page for information about what handling is acceptable and examples. If We refund you the price paid before We are able to inspect the Goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay Us an appropriate amount.

    (b) - refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method We offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if We offer delivery of Goods within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Goods delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then We will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

    (c) - make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

    (i) - if you have received the Goods and We have not offered to collect them from you: 14 days after the day on which We receive the Goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide Us with evidence that you have sent the Goods back to Us.  For information about how to return Goods to Us, see clause 9.8;

    (ii) - if you have not received the Goods or you have received them and We have offered to collect them from you: 14 days after you inform Us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

  • 9.6 - If you have returned the Goods to Us under this clause 9 because they are faulty or mis-described, We will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, based on the cheapest delivery cost available and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to Us. If the Goods returned are not faulty or mis-described, the return of the Goods will be at your cost (see clause 9.8(b)).

  • 9.7 - We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.

  • 9.8 - If Goods have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

    (a) - then you must return them to Us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let Us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send them back, return it to Us in-store or hand to our authorised carrier. Please see our Returns page for our returns address, printable returns labels and information about our authorised carrier and how to arrange a return. If We have offered to collect the Goods from you, We will collect the Goods from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;

    (b) - the Goods are faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to Us. If the Goods cannot be returned by post, We estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Goods to you, these costs should not exceed the sums We charged you for delivery. If We have offered to collect the Goods from you, We will charge you the direct cost to Us of collection. We will inform you of the cost of collection prior to collection being agreed.

  • 9.9 - Because you are a consumer, We are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described.

Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
