You may also cancel before we send the Order Confirmation.
9.2 The legal cooling-off period ends 14 calendar days after the day on which you (or someone you nominate) receive(s) the Goods.
9.3 If you wish to exercise your right to cancel under this clause 7, you must inform us of your decision within the cooling-off period. Cancellation by email or by post is effective from the date on which you send us your message. Please note that the cooling-off period lasts for whole calendar days. If, for example, you send us an email or letter by 23:59:59 on the final day of the cooling-off period, your cancellation will be valid and accepted.

If we issue a refund before we have received the Goods and have had a chance to inspect them, we may subsequently charge you an appropriate sum if we find that the Goods have been handled excessively.
9.9 Refunds under this clause 8 will be made using the same payment method that you used when ordering the Goods, unless you specifically request that we make a refund using a different method.
