Your rights to cancel your order 

Your rights to cancel an order will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it and when you decide to end the contract.  

If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to cancel your order (or to ask us to repair or replace the product) 

If you are cancelling an order for a reason set out at below, the order will be cancelled immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided. The reasons are: 

  • We have told you about an upcoming change to the product which you do not agree to 
  • We have told you about a change to these terms which you do not agree to 
  • We have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered, and you do not wish to proceed 
  • There is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control 
  • We have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days 
  • You have a legal right to cancel the order because of something we have done wrong 

For most products bought online, you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. 

You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes once these have been unsealed after you receive them and any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery. 

 

How to cancel your order 

To cancel your order, please let us know as soon as possible by email. The email address is customerservice@larkswood.co.uk 

 

Returning products after cancelling your order

If you cancel an order you must return the products to us. Please note that our returns address is 142 Station Road, Chingford, London, E4 6AN. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, you must send off the products within 24 hours of telling us you wish to cancel the order. 

We will pay the costs of return: 

  • If the products are faulty or misdescribed 
  • If you are cancelling an order because we have told you of an upcoming change to the product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong 

In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return. 

We will refund you the price you paid for the products (including delivery costs, where appropriate), by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below. 

 

Deductions from refunds 

We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the products, if this has been caused by your excessive handling of them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount. 

The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (namely our ‘standard UK delivery’ cost). 

 

When your refund will be made 

We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. Your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, within 14 days from the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. 

 

Force majeure 

Every effort will be made to fulfil the Company’s obligations, but its performance is subject to cancellation or variation as the Company may find necessary as a result of inability to secure labour, materials or supplies as a result of any Act of God, War, Strike, Lock-out, other Labour Dispute, Fire Flood, Drought, Legislation or other cause beyond the Company’s control. The Company shall be under no liability for failures, variations and delays attributable to causes beyond its control. 

 

Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you 

We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the order process. 

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us and supplied with reasonable skill and care and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

We shall be entitled to treat any orders that we receive using your account and your stored credit or debit card details as coming from you or being authorised by you, and we will process those orders in accordance with these terms. We have no liability to you for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of any person gaining unauthorised access to your account and placing an order with us.
