What are my rights under the Distance Selling Regulations? Back to top
Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations you may cancel your order for any reason within seven working days following the day on which you receive the goods. We regret that this does not apply where sealed audio and video recordings or software products have been unsealed.
Please ensure that the goods are returned in their original condition.
You should notify us by using our standard returns form. Post this form with the securely packaged goods back to the Returns Department straight away using a recorded delivery service.
We will reimburse you in full on receipt of the returned goods in our warehouse. You will, however, be responsible for the costs of returning the goods to us (unless these goods are faulty or have been delivered by us in error).
How do I "return" an online product? Back to top
Fees and charges for online products are non-refundable. You will not have the right to cancel your order under regulation 10 of the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 once the supply to you of the service has begun with your agreement. You agree that the supply to you of the service may begin before the expiry of the cancellation period given by those Regulations. The supply to you of the service will begin when we send you an e-mail containing your password and make the service available to you for the first time.
When do I get my refund once I've returned an item? Back to top
Your credit card will normally be refunded within 5 days of your return being received in our warehouse.
