Cancellation, return and refund

If you are a consumer in the European Union:

You have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below. This means that during the relevant period, if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep any Goods, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. This right of cancellation is in addition to your rights in relation to faulty or wrongly-delivered goods. This is your statutory right of cancellation.
Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date on which we e-mail you the Order Confirmation, which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract is 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the Goods.
To Cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The Easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form provided with the Goods. You can also contact us through social media, via email or phone.

If you wish to cancel any Contract, you must contact us via our contact details.
In addition to any applicable statutory right of cancellation, you may return Goods to us for any reason, provided that such return is within 28 calendar days after the date on which we deliver the Goods, and provided that those Goods are unworn and in their original packaging. If you return Goods to us under this clause we will at our option offer you an exchange for Goods of equivalent value or refund.
If you cancel your Contract or return Goods to us we will:

  • Refund you the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund 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.
  • Refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method)
  • Make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.
    If Goods are faulty or wrongly-delivered, we will refund the price of the Goods in full, together with any applicable delivery charges. We will also either collect the Goods from you free of charge or refund any reasonable costs you incur in returning the Goods to us.
    We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the goods, we may refund you in vouchers.
    If any Goods have been delivered before you decide to cancel your Contract:

Then you must return the Goods to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know you wish to cancel your contract.
