Online Order Cancellation Policy
Right to cancel
UK and EU customers have the right to cancel orders under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the “Consumer Contract Regulations 2013”). If you wish to cancel pursuant to the rights set out in the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 please read the information below.
When you purchase an order online or by phone you have a statutory right to cancel your order at any time up to 14 calendar days from the day after you receive the goods, without any reason. It is our responsibility to supply you with goods that meet your consumer rights. If you have any concerns that we have not met our legal obligations, please contact us. If your order consists of multiple goods, the 14 calendar days period runs from when you get the last of the batch. This 14 calendar day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 calendar days to actually send the goods back, for a full refund. Please select the return reason with the Order Cancellation Form when returning the item(s).
It is the responsibility of the customer to show that you have cancelled your order in accordance with the “Consumer Contract Regulations 2013”, i.e. either used the Order Cancellation Form or set out clearly your intention to cancel. See our ‘Online Returns Policy’ below for additional information.
