If any digital content is included in the goods, that digital content must also conform. If any goods you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect goods, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible to inform us of the fault, damage, or error, and to arrange for a refund, repair, or replacement.
9.2 Beginning on the day that you receive the goods (and ownership of them) you have a 30-calendar day right to reject the goods and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above. If you do not wish to reject the goods, or if the 30-calendar day period has expired, you may request that the goods are repaired or replaced. Within the first six months after you have received the goods, you are entitled to a repair or replacement unless we can prove that the defect was not present at the time you bought the goods. After the first six months, you must prove to us that the defect was present at the time of purchase in order to qualify for a repair or replacement. We will bear any associated costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In some cases, if repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, we may instead offer you the alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund.
a) If you request a repair or replacement during the first 30 calendar day period, that period will be suspended while we carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired goods. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 calendar days.
b) If, after a repair or replacement, the goods still do not conform (or if we cannot repair or replace them, as described above, or have failed to act within a reasonable time and/or without causing you significant inconvenience), you may have the right either to keep the goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.
c) If you exercise this final right to reject the goods more than six months after you receive them (and ownership of them), we may reduce any refund to reflect the use you have had out of the goods.
d) Within a period of six months after you receive the goods (and ownership of them), if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time (depending upon their nature), you may be entitled to a partial refund. Please remember that after six months have passed since you received the goods, the burden of proof will be on you to prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.
9.3 Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Clause 8 if we informed you of any faults, damage or other problems with the goods before your purchase of them; if you have purchased the goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to us and the problem has resulted from your use of the goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return goods to us under this Clause 8 merely because you have changed your mind. If you are a consumer, you have a statutory right to a 14-day cooling off period within which you can return goods for this reason. Please refer to Clause 9 for more details.
9.4 To return goods to us for any reason under this Clause 9, you may return them by post or another suitable delivery choice to and address we will supply you. We are solely responsible for collecting the goods in this case; however we may appoint a third party carrier to collect them in which case we will provide you with all relevant details. We will be fully responsible for the costs of returning goods under this Clause 9, and will reimburse you where appropriate.
9.5 Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) under this Clause 9, will be issued within 14 calendar days of the day on which we agree that you are entitled to the refund.

You may cancel your contract and return the goods to us for any reason under this right. If you wish to cancel your order before receiving our order confirmation or if you wish to cancel the contract after receiving the order confirmation but before we have dispatched the goods, Sub-Clauses 9.2, 9.3, 9.8.4 and 9.10 will apply.
10.2 If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under this Clause 9, you must inform us of your decision. You may do so in any way that is convenient to you.

10.8.1 Refunds may subject to deductions for any diminished value in the goods resulting from your excessive handling of them. For the purposes of this Clause 9, “excessive handling” means any more handling than is reasonably required to ascertain the nature and characteristics of the goods in question (e.g. no more than would be permitted in a shop).
10.8.2 We will make no deductions for damage to delivery packaging (i.e. additional packaging into which we have placed the goods in their original packaging such as bubble wrap and a brown box) but we may make deductions if the original packaging has been damaged (e.g. torn or otherwise unsealed in a way that would make it difficult or impossible to reseal the packaging and resell the goods in “new” condition).
10.8.3 Standard Delivery charges (see sub-Clause 6.6) will be reimbursed in full along with the price of the goods, however we cannot reimburse any additional costs for Premium Delivery.
