8    Our Returns Policy

8.1    Your legal right of return and refund as a consumer. You have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information,                      Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the period set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if          you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel          the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or                  Trading Standards office.

8.2    However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

8.2.1    customised candles

8.2.2    any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.

8.3    Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance          of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered          and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:

​

Your Contract                                                                                End of cancellation period

Your Contract is for a single Product                                           The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on                                                               (which is not delivered in installments on separate days).           which you receive the Product.

 

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

 

Your Contract is for either of the following:

one Product which is                                                                    The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive

delivered in installments on                                                          the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.

separate days.

multiple Products which are delivered on separate days

​

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.

 

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over         The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive

a set period.                                                                                   the first delivery of the Products.

​

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year.

 

8.4    Once you submit an order, we immediately prepare all stock items for delivery. You can cancel an order at any stage until delivery. If you would              like to cancel an order, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to e-mail your cancellation                    request to heavenly-darkness@outlook.com. If you are e-mailing us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. We will e-mail you          to confirm that we have received your cancellation. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail then your cancellation is effective from the

         date you send us the e-mail. If you do decide to cancel an order it would assist us if you could provide the order reference in all correspondence.

8.5    If you cancel your Contract we will:

8.5.1    refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the             value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price                   paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate                 amount.

8.5.2    refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive              delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within            3-4 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have            paid for the cheaper delivery option.

8.5.3    make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

           (a)    if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after either the day on which we receive the Product                    back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about                      how to return a Product to us, see clause 8.8;

           (b)    if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your                      decision to cancel the Contract.

8.6    If you have returned the Products to us under this clause 8 because they are faulty or misdescribed, we will refund the price of the Products in full,            together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

8.7    If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

8.7.1    then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to               cancel the Contract. Where you send the Product back, please see our Returns Policy for our returns address and how to arrange a return;

8.7.2    unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If             the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should             not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of                 collection.

8.8    We stand by the high quality of all our Products. Each Product will have been inspected prior to packing. If you have received any Products that are           damaged or faulty, please accept our sincere apologies. Please see our Returns Policy for details of how to return any damaged or faulty Products.             Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal           rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause             8 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.           Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

 

9    Delivery

9.1    We will arrange for your order to be delivered to you within the number of days following the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which          we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order) that is specified in our Delivery Rate webpage. Occasionally our delivery to you may be              affected by an Event Outside Our Control. Please see clause 13 for our responsibilities when this happens.

9.2    Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you have given us, or you collect them from a carrier                        organised by us, and the Products will be your responsibility from that time.

9.3    You own the Products once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

9.4    If we miss the relevant delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

9.4.1    we have refused to deliver the Products;

9.4.2    delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

9.4.3    you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

9.5    If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 9.4, you can give us a new deadline for                        delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your order if we do not meet the new deadline.

9.6    If you do choose to cancel your order for late delivery under clause 9.5 or clause 9.6, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them,                unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or                allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this. After you cancel your order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the                        cancelled Products and their delivery.

​

10    Price of Products and delivery charges

10.1    The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of              Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However please see clause 10.5 for what happens if                we discover an error in the price of Product(s) you ordered.

10.2    Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.

10.3    The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.

10.5    It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check                      prices as part of our dispatch procedures. If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you              of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not                        process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process,            we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have                  reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

15.2    You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing.

15.5    If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in                  doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.              If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

15.6    Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or              claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.
