6.2 After you place an order, you will receive an e-mail (or letter where no email address has been provided) acknowledging that we have received your order. However, please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Our

8 Your consumer right of return and refund
This clause 8 only applies if you are a consumer.
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 period set out below in clause 8.4 (“Cancellation Period”). 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 a Product and/ or Services 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 any trading standards team.
8.2 Where you wish to receive a Service from us, we will not usually begin the supply of the Service before the end of the Cancellation Period, unless you expressly request that we do so. Where we do begin the supply of the Service during the Cancellation Period, your right to cancel the contract under Clause 8.1 will no longer apply once those Services are completed (even if those Services are completed during the Cancellation Period). Where the Services have commenced in accordance with this clause but you cancel the Contract before completion of those Services in accordance with clause 8.1, you shall pay us for the Services received up to cancellation.
8.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Order 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 below:
Your Contract: Service contract
End of the cancellation period: The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which the contract is entered into (regulation 30(2)(a), Consumer Contracts Regulations.) Example: If we provide you with an Order Confirmation on 1 January to receive Services, you may cancel anytime between 1 January and 15 January.
Your Contract: Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
End of the cancellation period: The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product. Example: if we provide you with an Order 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.
8.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel.
8.5 If you cancel your Contract we will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.
8.6 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 3-5 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.
8.7 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.
8.8 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay.
8.9 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
8.9.1 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. You can either send it back to us at Amey, Elmbridge Depot, Mill Road, Elmbridge. KT10 8BL, or hand it to our authorised carrier whom can be contacted on 0333 234 0978. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. Amey will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;
8.9.2 unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 8.7), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
8.10 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 any trading standards team
