7. Consumer protection: cancellation and refunds

This and the following paragraph are not contractually part of this agreement. This is a statement of your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Contract (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (“the Regulations”) and of the procedures with which all our Sellers have been asked to comply. We have no responsibility if they fail to do so. If you have any problem with the Product you have purchased from Our Website please refer to the Seller. Your contract is with them. They have the information and systems to be able to help you.

The following rules apply to cancellation of your order:

If you have ordered the Product, but not received it, you may cancel your order without giving a reason, at any time within 14 days of your order. You will have no obligation and your Seller will return your money.
If you have ordered the Product, and received it, you may cancel your order at any time within 14 days of the date your received it. You must tell your Seller that you wish to cancel. You must also send the Product back to him within that same 14 day period.

The Seller will return your money subject to the following conditions:

the Seller receives the Product in a condition in which he can re-sell it at full price.
you comply with the Seller’s procedure for returns and refunds. The Seller cannot return your money unless he knows who sent back the product.

The option to cancel your order is not available:

if you purchase sealed goods which relate to health or hygiene, and they become unsealed after delivery, or cannot be re-sold for some other reason;
if they are a hard medium for a product in soft copy, which comes to you sealed and is returned to them unsealed.
If the goods are somehow mixed with other goods so that they cannot identify or easily separate them.

You are responsible for the cost of returning the Product. We or your Seller have no obligation to refund your cost of re-packing and returning the Product.
In any of the above circumstances, the Seller will return your money within 14 days. We are not able to make the refund.
If you buy a Product which is delivered to you in soft copy, whether by download, or email or some other medium, the law provides that you can opt out of your right to the 14 day cancellation period. This is to prevent fraud by a buyer. Of course, the Seller will not accept your order unless you agree to lose your cancellation right.
You do this by instructing the Seller to arrange delivery immediately, or as soon as he can. If you do that, the Seller will send your Product immediately and you lose your right to cancel your order.
By accepting these terms, you now agree that you are instructing the Seller to deliver immediately and you understand that, in doing so, you lose your right to cancel your order within 14 days.
This paragraph does not affect your rights in the event that the Product is faulty.
