5.1    You have 14 days from the date of your order confirmation email to change your mind and cancel your order.

5.4    Goods must be returned to us in a new and unused condition and, to the extent possible, in their original packaging. We may make a deduction from the refund amount if you have handled the product in a way that has diminished the value of the product, if such handling was beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods. You are responsible for the Goods while they are in your possession.
