Summary of your key legal rights: |
This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

We will pay the costs of postage, where you are rejecting the Products and cancelling the Contract, in accordance with this clause 6, where the Products are not in conformity with the Contract. Please contact us as described in clause 13 to arrange for return of the Products.
Your right to reject Products that are faulty or mis-described under this clause 6 does not apply in respect of Bespoke Products where the fault or other loss or liability arises directly or indirectly as a result of the Bespoke Specifications provided by you to us.
