If you wish to cancel, please log in to your account and submit a return request. We can only refund or exchange goods which are unused and unopened, and returned in a as-new condition.
You are required to return the goods safely to us, and you are responsible for the cost in doing so.
Should you cancel your purchase within this 14 day 'cooling off' period, we will refund your payment in full, minus any shipping charges paid.

There will be no charges for cancellation within this 14 day cooling off period.
