In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Services on time, you can require us to reduce the Fees or charges by an appropriate amount (including the right to receive a refund for anything already paid above the reduced amount).

    • after we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances and we have not delivered within that period.
  4. If you treat the Contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return the most recent quarterly payment made under the Contract.
  5. If you were entitled to treat the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the Order for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all the most recent quarterly payment made under the Contract.

  2. You do not own the Goods until we have received payment in full. If full payment is overdue, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them.

  1. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
  2. You can cancel the Contract except for any Goods which are made to your special requirements by telling us no later than 14 days after the Contract was made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without liability. Then we must without delay refund to you the price for those Goods and Services which have been paid for in advance, but we can retain any separate delivery charge. This does not affect your rights when the reason for the cancellation is any defective Goods or Services.
    • This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.
