      • we will pay the costs of return if the Goods are faulty or misdescribed or if you are ending the Contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Goods 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. In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return. The maximum we will refund for return delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer even if you choose to return the Goods by a more expensive method of delivery.
    • Any refunds due to you will be by the method you used for payment, but we may make deductions as set out in Condition 10.1.2. We will make the refund as soon as possible and if you are a Consumer exercising your right to change your mind, within 14 days of us receiving the Goods.
    • When you return Goods to us for any other reason, returns will be subject to the following process:
      • Returns of any non-faulty Goods by Business Customers under this Condition 10.3.1 shall only be refunded or replaced without charge if you contact us in writing within 7 days of receipt of the Goods, informing us of your wish to return them and thereafter follow the procedure for returning the Goods which will be notified to you by us.

    • You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) 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. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
