Deductions from refunds. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) where you fail to return each component part (cables, memory sticks, etc.) and to take account of the reduction in value caused by any damage or missing components.
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) if you wish to return a product purchased in a discounted or promotional offer.
If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
Any collection costs we incur as a result of scheduling a courier pick up on your behalf.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 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.
When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your 14 day right to change your mind then your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the products back to us.
