In the case where the issue has been delivered to a third party on your behalf, the cancellation period shall apply from the day after the third party receives the Goods. All cancellation notices should be directed to the contact details set out in Clause 7. If you pay by Direct Debit you must also cancel the Direct Debit with the bank otherwise your bank may continue to make payments.
5.2 In the event that you serve a valid notice of cancellation in accordance with Clauses 5.1 we shall provide you with a full refund of the price plus delivery charges (if appropriate) within 14 days of receipt of the returned goods. It is your responsibility to return any Goods to us within twenty-one days of cancellation. Returned goods must clearly show the order number obtained from us on the package and sent to the address noted below in Clause 7. You will be responsible for the costs in returning the goods to us and should you fail to return the goods to us within the timeframe, we are entitled to deduct an amount not exceeding the direct costs of recovering the goods from you from the money we are obliged to refund you, unless you are returning the goods because they are defective or in any other circumstances you are entitled to reject the goods under law. On cancellation, the goods shall remain at your risk until returned to us and you are required to take reasonable care of the goods until that time. Where returned goods are found to be damaged due to your acts or omissions, you will be liable for the cost of remedying such damage or the replacement cost of the relevant goods.
5.3 Should you wish to cancel a recurring subscription before it renews, you must give us at least 7 days’ notice before the renewal date. For example, if you had taken out an annual recurring subscription on 15th January 2023, the renewal date would be 15th January 2024, and we would need to receive your notice, in writing, by 8th January 2019. If you pay by Direct Debit you must also cancel the Direct Debit with the bank otherwise your bank may continue to make payments. Please note the start date of your subscription is the date your order was placed, not the date that the first payment was taken. The contact details to cancel are in Section 7, below.
5.4 Should you wish to cancel a trial subscription before upgrades to a full subscription, you must give us at least 7 days’ notice before the upgrade date. For example, if you had taken out a four month trial subscription on 15th January 2024, the renewal date would be 15th May 2024, and we would need to receive your notice, in writing, by 8th January 2019. If you pay by Direct Debit you must also cancel the Direct Debit with the bank otherwise your bank may continue to make payments.
