4                      To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

EFFECTS OF CANCELLATION

5                      If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

6                      We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

7                      We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

1. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
2. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
3. if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

8                      We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

9                      In the event of cancellation we may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back (where we have not offered to collect the goods) or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

RETURN OF GOODS

10                      You shall send back the goods or hand them over to the Seller at Kintail House, Beechwood Business Park, Inverness, IV2 3BW (in the case of the Seller) without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.

COST OF RETURNING GOODS

11                    You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. The cost is estimated at a maximum of approximately £60 per pallet or £30 per parcel.

12                    You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

SERVICE CONTRACTS BEGUN DURING CANCELLATION PERIOD

13                    If you requested to begin the performance of services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated to us your cancellation from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
