  2. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision by email to [email protected].

Commencement of Services in the Consumer Cancellation Period

  1. If you make a booking for which the start date is within the consumer cancellation period, it is considered that you have made an express request for the service.

Effects of Cancellation in the Consumer Cancellation Period

  1. Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, 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).

Payment for Services Commenced During the Consumer Cancellation Period

  1. Where a service is supplied (being part of the Service) before the end of the consumer cancellation period in response to your express request to do so, you must pay an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it is supplied, ending with the time when we are informed of your decision to cancel the Contract. This amount is in proportion to what has been supplied in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract. This amount is to be calculated on the basis of the total price agreed in the Contract. You will bear no cost for supply of that service, in full or in part, in this consumer cancellation period if that service is not supplied in response to such a request.

Deduction for Goods supplied

  1. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

Timing of reimbursement

  1. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
  2. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
  3. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied or to be supplied (ie it is a contract for the supply of services only), we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
  4. 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.

Returning Goods

  1. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at Grafix House, 6 Boundary Road, Swinton, Manchester, M27 4EQ without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.

Duration, termination and suspension

  1. The Contract continues as long as it takes us to perform the Services.
  2. Either you or we may terminate the Contract or suspend the Services at any time by a written notice of termination or suspension to the other if that other:

    1. the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
    2. the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer’s above rights relating to delivery.

    1. any fraudulent act or omission; or
    2. death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier’s other legal obligations.
