7 Cancellation and returns

7.1 You have the right to cancel an order during the period set out below in clause 7.3. 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 order and receive a refund. If you cancel your order, we will try to stop it before the Product is dispatched to you but please be aware that this may not always be possible. Where we are unable to stop your Product from being dispatched please return it to us when you receive it, at which point we will process your refund in accordance with these Terms. If you are a consumer, advice about your legal right to cancel is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

7.2 Your right to cancel an order expires 30 days from the day after the day you receive the Product (if your order is for a single item) or the last Product (if your order is for multiple items). 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.

7.4 To cancel an order, please let us know by email (full details on our Contact page). Please return any rejected Products to us not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the order. The deadline is met if you send back the products before the period of 14 days has expired. Unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 12) you will be responsible for the direct cost of returning the Product to us. We will refund the price you paid for the Products in accordance with clause 7.6.

7.6 If you cancel your order we will:

a. refund you the price you paid for the Product(s). Please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Product(s) caused by your handling of it/them. If we have inadvertently been charged for the direct cost of returning the Product to us (e.g. where you have elected to 'return to sender'), unless the Product is faulty or not as described we will deduct such direct cost from the refund you would otherwise have been entitled to; and

b. process the refund due to you as soon as possible or within 14 days of:
(i) the day your Product is returned to us in accordance with clause 7.5 or
(ii) if you have not received the Product you ordered, the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation as described in clause 7.5.

7.7 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.

7.8 For more information concerning our returns procedure please refer to our Returns Policy.

8 Delivery

8.1 Please note that time scales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of the Products you have ordered and your address. Please allow for extra time for international deliveries.

8.2 We will use reasonable endeavours to fulfil your order by the estimated delivery date. If we are unable to meet the estimated delivery date (where there is an Event Outside Our Control for example) we will contact you with a revised estimated delivery date.

8.3 Delivery will be completed when we deliver the Products to the address you gave us. Woodfield Publishing Ltd shall not be liable for delays or any other disadvantages to the Customer resulting from an incorrect address being supplied at the time of order.

8.4 In the event of the product you have ordered being returned to us by the postal service or carrier used for delivery due to an incorrect address being supplied at the time of purchase or delivery being impossible due to circumstances beyond the control of the postal service or carrier we reserve the right to retain the cost of delivery if the order is cancelled and/or to levy an extra charge for redelivery.

8.5 If we are not able to deliver the whole of your order for multiple Products at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock we may deliver the order in instalments in which case we will not charge you extra delivery costs. However, if you require us to deliver your order in instalments, each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to a refund of any other instalment.

8.6 The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.

8.7 You will not own the Products until we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges for the full order made by you.

9 International delivery

9.1 We can deliver to most countries but from time to time there may be restrictions in place for certain International Delivery Destinations that are beyond our control and we reserve the right to refuse delivery to those destinations, in which case any payment you have made will be refunded in full.

9.2 If you order Products from our site for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.

9.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

9.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

15 Events outside our control

15.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control. An Event Outside Our Control is defined below in clause 15.2.

15.2 An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.

Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

16 Communications between us

16.1 When we refer, in these Terms, to "in writing", this will include e-mail.

16.2 If you wish to contact us in writing, or if any clause in these Terms requires you to give us notice in writing, you can send this to us by e-mail or by post (at your cost) to Woodfield Publishing Ltd at the address listed on our Contact page. We will confirm receipt of this by contacting you in writing, normally by e-mail. If you are a consumer and exercising your right to cancel under clause 7, please see that clause for how to tell us this.

16.3 If we need to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail or by pre-paid post to the address you provide to us in your order.

16.4 If you are a business, please note that any notice given by you to us, or by us to you, will be deemed received and properly served 24 hours after an e-mail is sent, or three days after the date of posting of any letter. In proving the service of any notice, it will be sufficient to prove, in the case of a letter, that such letter was properly addressed, stamped and placed in the post and, in the case of an e-mail, that such e-mail was sent to the specified e-mail address of the addressee.

17 Other important terms

17.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.

17.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. However, if you are a consumer and you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of our warranty in clause 12 to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent.

17.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise. However, if you are a consumer, the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our warranty at clause 12, but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.

17.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

17.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

17.6 These Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England will have non-exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute between us. For the avoidance of doubt, the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods 1980 (Vienna Convention) shall not apply.
