This allows for a 14 day cancellation period from the day the goods are received and gives you the right to return the goods ordered and to receive a refund (less shipping or other costs incurred by us), within 30 days of the goods being received by us. This does not apply to business to business transactions.

The cancellation period is not applicable to Computer Software where the seal has been broken, or to Books, DVDs, Maps or Atlases, Cleaning Fluids, Films or other perishable items.
