8.2 If you change your mind about wanting the Goods once you receive them, you must let us know within 30 working days of receipt of the Goods. We will refund you the price you paid, provided that: you have not used the Goods, you return the Goods with their original packaging intact and sealed, and that the Goods are otherwise returned in a saleable condition.

8.3 If Goods you have purchased are faulty or not as described, please let us know as soon as possible. If you let us know about the problem within 12 months of receipt, we will replace or repair the Goods at our discretion. Alternatively, we may refund the price you paid for the Goods.

8.4 You may cancel your contract with us if we have refused to deliver the Goods or we fail to deliver the Goods by a deadline you stated was essential before we accepted your order.

8.6 Your cancellation is effective from the date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us.
8.7 Returns
We will pay the costs of return:

b) if you are ending your contract with us because of an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery caused by us or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.

8.12 If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the Goods from you, the costs of collection will be the same as our charges for standard delivery.
8.13 We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for your initial purchase, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise, but in any event, you will not incur any fees because of the reimbursement. However, if the reason for the return is your exercising your right to change your mind, we may make the following deductions from the full amount paid by you:
a) we may reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop, for example, if Goods packaging has been opened or the Goods has been used, or the Goods is otherwise returned to us in a non-saleable condition; and
b) the maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of Goods within three days at one cost but you choose to have the Goods delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
8.14 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event:
a) if you are exercising your right to change your mind, within 14 days from the day on which we receive or collect the Goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Goods back to us; or
b) in all other cases, within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.

a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or

11.4 We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of Goods advised to you is correct but it is possible that some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the correct price of the Goods at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the correct price of the Goods at your order date is higher than the price stated, 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 require the return of any Goods provided to you.
