A.   Cancelling within the cooling-off period
 
8.1            If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the cooling-off period set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your right to cancel during the cooling-off period is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau.
8.2            The right to cancel within the cooling-off period (as referred to at clause 8.1)only applies to consumers ordering Products online and if you have purchased goods from our workshop or from us at a trade show or you are a business or trade customer this right to cancel does not apply. The right to cancel will also not apply in the case of any custom-made or personalised products, which are made specifically upon your request and to your design specification. 
8.3            Where the right to cancel within the cooling-off period (as referred to at clause 8.1) applies, you have the right to cancel the Contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cooling-off period will start when we accept your order and the contract between us is formed, pursuant to clause 6.3. The cancellation period will end 14 days after the day on which the Products are delivered to you.

8.4            To exercise the right to cancel within the cooling-off period (as referred to at clause 8.1) you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract by either:
(a)        Sending us an email to info@cpcengineering.co.uk setting out the date of your order, your personal details, the order details and the account and product reference numbers; or
(b)        completing the returns form on our website at [LINK].
We suggest that you keep a copy of your notification for your records. In either case, we will send you an acknowledgement of receipt by email without delay.
8.5            To meet the cancellation deadline for the purposes of clause 8.3, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel at any point before the cancellation period expires.
8.6            If you cancel the Contract within the cooling-off period we will (subject to clause 8.7) reimburse to you all payments that we received from you under that Contract, including the costs of delivery of the Products.
8.7            If we reimburse you pursuant to clause 8.6 we will only refund basic delivery charges and if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us, we will not reimburse you the supplementary costs of that delivery. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement of the Product costs for loss in value, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.   
8.8            Any reimbursement we make pursuant to this clause 8 will be made without undue delay, and in any event no later than: 
(a)        14 days after the day we receive back the Products from you; or
(b)        (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide us with evidence that you have returned the Products; or
(c)        if no Products were supplied, 14 days after the day on which you informed us about your decision to cancel the Contract.
8.9            When making any reimbursement pursuant to this clause 8, we will make their reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction (e.g. the credit card or debit card used by you to pay for the Products), unless we have expressly agreed otherwise. We may withhold reimbursement until the Products are returned to us, or until we have received evidence from you that you have returned them.  
8.10         Unless the Products are faulty or mis-described, you will be responsible for returning the Products to us and meeting any delivery or postage charges associated with that return. You can either post the Products to us using recorded delivery or you can hand deliver the Products to our trading address. If you decide to post the Products to us you will be responsible for ensuring that they are packed carefully in order to prevent damage. You have a legal obligation to ensure that you take care of the Products whilst they are in your care. We may withhold some of your reimbursement pursuant to clause 8.7 if you handle the Products in a way which would not normally be acceptable if they were in a shop and you have reduced the Product value as a result.
 
B.   FAULTY OR MIS-DESCRIBED PRODUCTS
 
8.11         We will inspect all our Products before they are despatched to you so that we can check for any defects which are apparent upon a visual inspection. This will avoid you receiving faulty goods and the need for you to return our Products because of a visually apparent defect.
8.12         You may return Products to us if they are faulty or mis-described. If the defect is a defect which is apparent on normal visual inspection you must return the Product to us within 5 working days of delivery. If the defect is a latent defect you must return the Product to us within a reasonable time of the latent defect having become apparent. If you have not given us notice of any defects within the relevant time period, you shall be deemed to have accepted the Products.
8.13         Where you return faulty or mis-described products to us pursuant to this clause 8 we shall (subject to clause 8.14):
(a)        offer you a replacement Product; or
(b)        offer you a full or partial refund (depending on the nature of the fault or mis-description).
8.14         You will not be entitled to any refund or replacement under clause 8.13 if:
(a)        We made you aware of the defect at the time you ordered the Product;
(b)        You have damaged the Product;
(c)        The defect or problem is a result of normal wear and tear; and/or
(d)        You have tried to repair the Product or you have altered it in any way.
