7.1 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 7.3. 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 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 Trading Standards office.

(a) sealed audio or sealed video recordings or sealed computer software, once these Products are unsealed after you receive them.
(b) any Products that become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
7.3 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch 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 in the table below:
Your Contract | End of the cancellation per |
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days). | The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch 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. |

|
The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.

Your Contract is for the regular delivery of a Product over a set period. | The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Products.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Products to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product on 10 January, you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January. 24 January is the last day of the cancellation period in respect of all Products to arrive during the year. |
7.4 To cancel just send us an email at sales@orientashop.com. We will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
7.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:
(a) Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if your handling them in a way that would not be permitted in a shop has caused this. [See section 13 for information about what handling is acceptable and examples]. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) 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.
(c) Make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(i) If you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 7.8;

You can either send it back, [return it to us in-store or hand it to our authorised carrier.

(b) Unless the Product is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause7.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Product is one that cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier that delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery.
