After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Product(s) and their delivery.

8. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

This clause 8 only applies if you are a consumer.

8.1 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 8.3. 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 the Product(s), 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.

8.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:

(a) sealed Product(s) once these Product(s) are unsealed after you receive them;

(b) any Product(s) which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery;

(c) contract for the supply of alcoholic Product(s) where price is agreed when the sales contract is concluded, delivery can only take place after 30 days, and the value is dependent on fluctuations in the market which cannot be controlled by us.

(d) health and safety reasons, Products are non-alcoholic, soft drinks or less than 9% alcohol content

8.3 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 period

Product(s) which are 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(s) on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.

Your Contract is for:

Product(s) which are delivered in instalments on separate days. The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product(s) or the last of the separate Product(s) ordered.

Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product(s) or the first of your separate Product(s) on 10 January and the last instalment or last separate Product(s) on 15 January you may cancel in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Product(s) at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.

The regular delivery of a Product(s) over a set period. The end date is 14 days after the day on which you receive the first delivery of the Product(s).  Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January in respect of Product(s) to be delivered at regular intervals over a year and you receive the first delivery of your Product(s) 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 Product(s) to arrive during the year.

 8.4 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to email us at cancel@heroesdrinks.com.  If you use this method we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation.

8.5 If you cancel your Contract we will:

(a) refund you the price you paid for the Product(s). However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.

(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid if the goods have not been dispatched, 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(s) within [3-5] days at one cost but you choose to have the Product(s) 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(s) and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product(s) back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product(s) back to us. For information about how to return the Product(s) to us, see clause 9.8;

(ii) if you have not received the Product(s) or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

8.6 If you have returned the Product(s) to us under this clause 8 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Product(s) in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

8.7 We will refund you on the credit card, debit card, or account used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product(s) we may refund you in vouchers.

8.8 If a Product(s) has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:

(a) then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send it back to us at Heroes Drinks, c/o Len Lothian, 11 Granton Square, Edinburgh EH5 1HX or hand it to our authorised carrier. If we have offered to collect the Product(s) from you as advised to you by us via email or telephone, we will collect the Product(s) from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection.

(b) unless the Product(s) is faulty or not as described (in this case, see clause 9.6), you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product(s) to us. If the Product(s) is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product(s) to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the Product(s) from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. We will advise you by email or telephone of the charges for collection.

(c) we will not refund the cost of the initial delivery charge you may have paid for your order.

8.9 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Product(s) that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Product(s) that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 9 or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

8.10 We are unable to accept or refund any products that have been engraved or personalised. We will only accept liability if engraved or personalised messages are incorrectly applied or products are damaged.
