THIS MEANS THAT DURING THE RELEVANT PERIOD IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND OR DECIDE FOR ANY OTHER REASON THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE OR KEEP ANY GOODS, YOU CAN NOTIFY US OF YOUR DECISION TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT AND RECEIVE A REFUND. ADVICE ABOUT YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO CANCEL THE CONTRACT IS AVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOCAL CITIZENS’ ADVICE BUREAU OR TRADING STANDARDS OFFICE.

7.2             YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO CANCEL A CONTRACT STARTS FROM THE DATE OF THE INVOICE CONFIRMATION (THE DATE ON WHICH WE E-MAIL YOU TO CONFIRM OUR ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER), WHICH IS WHEN THE CONTRACT BETWEEN US IS FORMED. 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:

7.3             TO CANCEL A CONTRACT, YOU JUST NEED TO LET US KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL. THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO COMPLETE THE CANCELLATION FORM ON OUR WEBSITE. IF YOU USE THIS METHOD WE WILL E-MAIL YOU TO CONFIRM WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CANCELLATION.

7.5             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. If you intend to return any Goods received (other than because those Goods are faulty or mis-described) then you should not un-package or unwrap the Goods as you do not intend to keep them. If you do unwrap the Goods, or return them in packaging which is not the original packaging, then We cannot re-sell those items as “new”. In these circumstances We may charge you for the reasonable cost of repackaging the Goods which is likely to be in the region of £25 (inclusive of VAT). 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 7.9;

(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.

7.6             IF YOU HAVE RETURNED ANY GOODS TO US UNDER THIS CLAUSE 7 BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY OR MIS-DESCRIBED, WE WILL REFUND THE PRICE OF THE GOODS IN FULL, TOGETHER WITH ANY APPLICABLE DELIVERY CHARGES, AND ANY REASONABLE COSTS YOU INCUR IN RETURNING THE ITEM TO US.

7.7             IF YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL ANY CONTRACT FOR GOODS UNDER THIS CLAUSE 7 BECAUSE (I) WE CHANGE THESE TERMS TO YOUR MATERIAL DISADVANTAGE UNDER CLAUSE 5.4, (II) YOU AMEND YOUR ORDER BEFORE DISPATCH AND THIS INCREASES THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY UNDER CLAUSE 5.5, OR (III) WE ARE AFFECTED BY AN EVENT OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL (AS DESCRIBED IN CLAUSE 12), WE WILL REFUND THE PRICE OF THE GOODS IN FULL, TOGETHER WITH ANY APPLICABLE DELIVERY CHARGES, AND ANY REASONABLE COSTS YOU INCUR IN RETURNING THE ITEM TO US.

7.8             WE WILL REFUND YOU ON THE CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD USED BY YOU TO PAY. IF YOU USED VOUCHERS TO PAY FOR THE GOODS WE MAY REFUND YOU IN VOUCHERS. IF YOU PAID BY CHEQUE OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT NOT ALREADY DESCRIBED, WE WILL CONTACT YOU FOR DETAILS OF WHERE AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE US TO SEND YOUR REFUND.

7.9             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 30 days after the day on which you let Us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send them back or return them to Us at our premises at Unit 1, Acton Avenue, Fields Farm Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham, NG10 1GA or pass them to Our authorised carrier. 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)          unless the Goods are faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 7.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Goods to Us. If the Goods are such that 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. For example, We charge between £50 and £200 (inclusive of VAT) per item which is dependent upon the size of the item and your location.

7.10            UNFORTUNATELY, AS MADE-TO-MEASURE GOODS ARE MADE TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR ORDER ONCE MADE (BUT THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER IN RELATION TO MADE-TO-MEASURE GOODS THAT ARE FAULTY OR NOT AS DESCRIBED).

7.11            IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER, YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS DESCRIBED IN CLAUSE 9 ARE NOT AFFECTED BY YOUR RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND IN THIS CLAUSE 7 OR ANYTHING ELSE IN THESE TERMS. ADVICE ABOUT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS IS AVAILABLE FROM YOUR LOCAL CITIZENS’ ADVICE BUREAU OR TRADING STANDARDS OFFICE.

IF WE SUPPLY A REPLACEMENT FOR ANY GOODS SUPPLIED BY US BUT INSTALLED BY A THIRD PARTY, WE WILL DELIVER THE REPLACEMENT GOODS TO YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS BUT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ARRANGING FOR THE ITEM TO BE INSTALLED.

10.5            YOU MUST MAKE PAYMENT FOR THE GOODS INCLUDED IN YOUR ORDER AND ALL DELIVERY CHARGES, IN ADVANCE. WE MAY NOT DELIVER ANY GOODS TO YOU ON ANY AGREED DELIVERY DATE IF PAYMENT HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED IN THIS WAY.

10.6            IF YOU DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT DUE TO US BY THE DUE DATE FOR PAYMENT, WE MAY CHARGE INTEREST TO YOU ON THE OVERDUE AMOUNT AT THE RATE OF 3% A YEAR ABOVE THE BASE LENDING RATE OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND FROM TIME TO TIME.
