Should You accept the Goods when the courier service attempts to deliver the Goods to You, you must return the Goods at your sole cost.

6.2.1We and/or Our Trusted Partners must provide Goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase subject to the terms set out in Clause 3.5, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models that You have seen or examined (unless We or Our Partners have made You aware of any differences). If any Goods You have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when You receive them, or if You receive incorrect Goods, you must contact Us or Our Trusted Partner as soon as reasonably possible and, in any case, no later than 30 days of receipt of the Goods, to report the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a repair, replacement, or refund.
6.2.2.If You have reason to believe that any faults or damages in the Goods are due to any actions or omissions by the courier delivering such Goods, you must contact Us or Our Trusted Partner as soon as reasonably possible, and in any case no later than 14 days of receipt of the Goods to report the fault or damage.
6.2.3.Where You have notified us according to Clauses 6.2.1. and/or 6.2.2 above, You:
6.2.3.1.have a duty to not make any further use of the Goods and if you do make any further use of such Goods after giving such notice, We and Our Partners shall not be liable for any breach of warranty in relation to any defect in such Goods.; and
6.2.3.2 will make the Goods available for collection by Us and/or Our Trusted Partners, or to return them as agreed (if the case) and allow for a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods.
6.2.4In the event that the Goods sold to You do not conform with the terms set out in Clause 6.2.1 and We or Our Trusted Partner agree that it is not due to Your operation, use or handling of the Goods that is the cause, beginning on the day that You receive the Goods, you have a 30-calendar day right to reject the Goods and to receive a full refund. Alternatively, you may request a repair of the Goods or a replacement. Should a repair or replacement be agreed, We or Our Trusted Partner will bear any associated costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time. In certain circumstances, where a repair or replacement is impossible, disproportionate, or not commercially viable, We or Our Trusted Partner reserve the right to instead offer You a full refund.
6.2.5If You request a repair or replacement during the 30-calendar day rejection period as detailed in Clause 6.2.4 above, that period will be suspended while We or Our Trusted Partner carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that You receive the replacement or repaired Goods. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 calendar days. If, after a repair or replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We or Our Trusted Partner cannot do so as previously described or have failed to act within a reasonable time), You may have the right either to keep the Goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund. If You exercise the final right to reject the Goods more than six months after You have received the Goods, We or Our Trusted Partner may, acting reasonably and at our sole discretion, reduce any refund to reflect the utility that You have derived from the Goods during the period You have possessed them.
6.2.6You will not be eligible to a repair, replacement, or refund under the terms set out in Clauses 6.2.4 or 6.2.5 if We or Our Trusted Partner informed You of the fault(s), damage or other problems with the Goods before Your purchase of the them and it is because of the same issue that You now wish to return them; if You have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us or Our Partner and the problem has resulted from Your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless or accidental damage. You may not return Goods under the terms set out in Clauses 6.2.4 or 6.2.5 merely because You have changed Your mind.
6.2.7If You are returning Goods due to them being incorrect, damaged, or faulty then they must be returned in the same condition that they were provided to You, or in such a condition whereby the only deterioration was required to detect the fault, otherwise they may not be accepted.
6.2.8Where You have ordered Goods from Us or Our Partner for collection, when You collect the Goods it is Your responsibility to check that the Goods are of a satisfactory quality, are fit for purpose, and are as described.
6.2.9Should You reject the Goods more than six months after You received the Goods, We or Our Trusted Partners may, acting reasonably and at our sole discretion, reduce any refund to reflect the utility that You have derived from the Goods during the period You have possessed them.
