2. if you are ending the Contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Product or these Terms of Supply, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must:
1. pay the costs of return;
2. return the Products in the original unopened packaging;
3. if opened: We may charge you for use of the Products during the time in your possession, unless they are Products that are ordinarily consumed, and no such consumption has occurred or any consumption of the Products, unless that consumption is limited to a reasonable amount necessary to determine whether the Products are acceptable to you;

2. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.

When will your refund be made? We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
1. and we have not offered to collect the Products from you, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product(s) back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product(s) back to us; or

This is a summary of your key legal rights. Kindly take note that these key legal rights are subject to certain exceptions.
The CPA provides that goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality (free of any defects) and useable and durable for a reasonable period of time, having regard to the use to which it may normally be put.

PRICE AND PAYMENT

The price of Products: The price of the Products will be the price as indicated on the order-pages when you place your order and confirmed in the cart.

What happens if we got the pricing wrong? There is always the possibility that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell/ make available may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your Purchase Order so that, where the Product’s correct prices at the time of your Purchase Order is less than our stated price at the time of your Purchase Order, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at the time of your Purchase Order is higher than the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Purchase Order.
