Section B: Information about the exercise of the right to cancel

To exercise your right to cancel
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (for example an email or a letter sent by post). We recommend you use email as delivery is quicker, and easier to check, than post.
Our contact details are set out in lines (b) and (c) of the Consumer Information Sheet above.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation
If you cancel this contract in accordance with your statutory rights, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Products supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than—
(a) 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Products supplied, or
(b) (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Products, or
(c) if there were no Products supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
If you have received Products:
- you shall send back the Products without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 14 days has expired.
