8.1 You have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product or Products, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. If you are a UK citizen advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays are not included in this period.

date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us.
8.5 If you refuse delivery or if for any other reason delivery of the Product does not occur then the Product will be returned to us by our shipper and we shall assume less you advise us to the contrary that you have cancelled the Contract.
8.6 We recommend that you insure the return shipment as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the Product and will be liable for damage to them until we actually receive them at our warehouse. We also recommend that you use a secure, trackable means to return your order to us. You should retain proof of sending, in case of a dispute.

EXCHANGING AND / OR RETURNING PRODUCT
NOTE: For the avoidance of doubt if you are ordering Product from outside of the European Union (EU) please carefully read the Note at the beginning of Clause 8 which explains that no right of cancellation applies to you. Your only rights to return Product are set out in this clause 9.
9.1 You must upon receipt immediately check all Product you receive against your order. If the Product you receive is damaged, defective or in any way incorrectly supplied on delivery then you must note the details of any damage or error in supply on the delivery documentation or if you are unable to view the items on receipt, you must inform us (by post or e-mail only) as soon as possible but in any case within a reasonable period of time.
Product must be returned with its original packaging and footwear must be tried on carpeted surfaces only. Product must be unused, unworn and in an unaltered condition.

9.4 Any return must be made in a single delivery shipment and any fragmented returns may incur additional costs payable by you to us. It is imperative that you follow our instructions for the return of your items and that all goods are shipped back to us within 7 days of the returns number being raised.

9.5 If you have purchased Product from us from outside the EU you are wholly responsible for the payment of all taxes and duties on any supply of Product. We cannot under any circumstances refund such taxes/duties. You must deal with this application directly with the appropriate authority. Additionally any returns of Product from outside the EU, will incur a return charge.
9.6 We recommend that you retain proof of sending, in case of a dispute.

PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES
10.1 Our site contains a large number of Products. It is always possible that, despite our efforts to the contrary, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or alternatively you may cancel your order. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
INTERNATIONAL SALES AND DELIVERY
11.1 We ship DDU (delivery duty unpaid) to certain destinations outside the EU. As the recipient, you are liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country you are shipping to; payment of these is necessary to release your order from customs on arrival. We are unable to advise or predict the amount. You alone shall be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
11.2 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
