Refunds

16.6. We will refund you the Purchase Price plus the Delivery Fees paid by the method you used for payment if:

16.6.1. the Products are faulty or misdescribed;

16.6.2. you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Products or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

16.7. We will refund you the Purchase Price plus the Standard Delivery Fees paid (if any) by the method you used for payment if you are exercising your right to change your mind provided that:

16.7.2. If we refund you the Purchase Price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

16.7.3. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. Therefore, if you have requested for Express Home Delivery, we will only refund you the Standard Delivery Fee. We will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

16.8. If you are terminating your contract with us in accordance with clause 12.6, 12.7, 15.5, 15.6 (goodwill cancellation period) we will refund you the Purchase Price by the method you used for payment provided that:

16.11. Given the nature of the Products, we strongly recommend that you use a reputable courier company when returnin the Products to us.

This does not affect your statutory rights.
