Checking the condition of goods remains the customer’s responsibility.

8. Your rights to end the contract if you are a consumer

8.1. You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:

(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;

(b) If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.2. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

(c) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 8.5.

8.2. Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund.

8.3. When consumers do not have a right to change their minds. Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of: (a) services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running; (b) products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and (c) any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

8.4. How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.

(a) Have you bought services? If so, you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have commenced the services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the services, you must pay us for the services provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.

(b) Have you bought goods?, if so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods.

8.5. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. A contract for services is completed when we have finished providing the services and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.

9. When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind.

If you are exercising your right to change your mind: (a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods (which may result in no refund at all), if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. 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) Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

9.2. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible subject to receipt of goods and inspection by us to ensure that the goods are in good re-saleable condition. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:

(a) If the products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us.

(b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

10. Our rights to end the contract

10.1. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if: (a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 3 days of us reminding you that payment is due; (b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or (c) you do not, within a reasonable time, accept delivery of the products or collect them from us.

10.2. You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

11. Your rights in respect of defective products if you are a consumer

11.1. If you are a consumer we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
