19.1 If you are a consumer, 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 in clause 9.2(a). 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 a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens? Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
19.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
1. (a) sealed or unopened goods, once these Products are unsealed, opened and/or tampered with after you we dispatch them. This does not include customs searches.
4. (b) any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
5. (c) any Products which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons.
6. (d) any Products which have been made to your specifications or are personalised for you.
7. 9.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we email you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product. For Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.
Your Contract is for either of the following:
one Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.
multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered. For Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.
Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period.
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products. For Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year.
Should you request a refund for one item after purchasing using a Spend and Save code (where you have purchased more than one item) please note that the original minimum spend still must be met for the offer to apply. If this refund brings the order under the minimum spend, the amount refund will reflect the threshold being met
Example:
Spend £150 and save £20%
Order total: £200
Returned item: £60
This means the order total is now under the threshold of the offer and the returned funds issued would be £48
19.4 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 email us online@robertgoddard.co.uk or contact our Customer Services team by telephone on 0800 612 6044 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.)
