We will pay the costs of postage. Please call customer services on +44 (0) 1206 256101 (Monday to Friday between the hours of 08.30am and 05.30pm GMT) or email us at [email protected] or [email protected] for a return label.

8 YOUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS
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 and when you decide to end the Contract:
8.1.1 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 to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
8.1.2 If you want to end the Contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
8.1.3 If you have just changed your mind about the Product, see clause 8.3. 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; 8.1.4 In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.
8.2 Ending the Contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a Contract for a reason set out at 8.2.1 to 8.2.5 below the Contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are: 8.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 6.2); 8.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed; 8.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; 8.2.4 we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than [30 days]; or 8.2.5 you have a legal right to end the Contract because of something we have done wrong (including because we have delivered late (see clause 7.8). 8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
8.4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of:
8.4.1 any Products made to a specification provided by you (including personalised Products);
8.4.2 sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these Products are unsealed after you receive them; and
8.4.3 any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the Products to change your mind, unless your Products are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the Products.
8.6 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 do not have a right to change your 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 is completed when the Product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a Contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your 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 reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the Contract.

13 PRICE AND PAYMENT
13.1 Where to find the price for Online Products. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We use our best efforts to ensure that the price of the Online Product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 13.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
13.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Online Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Online Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
13.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and disable you from accessing the product.
13.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with VISA, Mastercard, Discover, Maestro and PayPa.l For Online Products, you must pay for the products before you access and use them.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 12.2.
14.4 Damage caused by defective Content. If defective Content and/or Online Products which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.

14.6 We will not be liable to you for any delay in delivery or non-delivery of any Online Product in the following circumstances;
14.6.1. where the issuer of your payment card or cheque refuses to authorise payment to us, or you have not paid when you have been invoiced;
