- YOUR RIGHTS TO CANCEL AND APPLICABLE REFUND
13.1 Before We begin to provide the Services or the Goods are delivered, you have
the following rights to cancel an Order for Goods and/or Services, including
where you choose to cancel because We are affected by an Event Outside Our

disadvantage:
(a) You may cancel any Order for Goods and/or Services at any time
before We despatch the Goods or the start date for the Services by
contacting Us.

any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to
you, or Goods that have not been delivered to you, We will refund
these amounts to you.
(c) However, if you cancel an Order for Services under clause
13.1(a) and We have already started work on your Order by that time,
you will pay Us any costs We reasonably incurred in starting to fulfil
the Order, and this charge will be deducted from any refund that is due
to you or, if no refund is due to you, invoiced to you. We will tell you
what these costs are when you contact Us. However, where you have
cancelled an Order because of Our failure to comply with these Terms
(except where We have been affected by an Event Outside Our
Control), you do not have to make any payment to Us.

despatched you will not be able to cancel an Order for Goods. If
however, you are a consumer and the Goods have already been
delivered to you, you have a period of 7 (seven) working days in
which you may cancel an Order, starting from the day after the day
you receive the Goods. Working days means that Saturdays, Sundays
or public holidays are not included in this period. In this case, if you
return the Goods to Us, We will have to charge you the cost of
collection or you will have to pay the cost of returning the Goods back
to Us. This will not affect your refund for the Goods, but any charge
for collection will be deducted from the refund that is due to you.

you will not be able to cancel your Order once made (but this will not affect
your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-measure Goods that are
faulty or not as described).
13.3 Once We have begun to provide the Services to you, you may cancel the
contract for Services with immediate effect by giving Us written notice if:

appointed over Our assets;

disadvantage;
