Any sums paid by you in relation to that Order will be refunded within 14 calendar days.

7.3 REFUNDS. To be eligible for a refund under clause 7.1, you must return any goods in their original and sealed condition along with the original packaging. You will be responsible for paying the cost associated for returning your item.

8.2 GOODS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT. We will take great care to pack your order to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition. Unfortunately, some parcels may incur damage while in transit. If a parcel shows clear signs of damage or leakage at the time of delivery, we suggest that you refuse the parcel and ask the courier to return the goods to sender. If you discover the goods are damaged after taking delivery, promptly notify us in writing with photographic evidence of the damage no later than seven days after the date of delivery. Provided notification is received within this time, we will replace the damaged goods where a replacement is available and bear the associated costs.

Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
9.4 Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
9.5 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
9.7 If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the United States and the courts of the United States shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
