Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason.

Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.

Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered.
