When we will pay the costs of return
We will pay the costs of return if:
(a) the products are faulty or misdescribed;
(b) if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong;
(c) if we, or on behalf of our suppliers, have requested a return of the product due to a product recall.

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 a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

Procedure for returns and refunds 
We will refund you the price you paid for the products excluding delivery costs, by the method you used for payment within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. If the delivery is stated as free delivery upon point of purchase, we reserve the right to reduce your refund via the delivery cost we incurred, i.e. if your order was sent Royal Mail, Tracked, Signed for 48, we reserve the right to reduce your refund amount by the costs we have incurred in shipping the item to you.
