If at any time during the term of this contract we fail to insist upon strict compliance of any of your obligations under the contract or these Terms or if we fail to exercise any rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

We will refund you using the same method of payment as you used to pay for your order. We reserve the right to make a deduction from the amount of the refund for loss in value of the goods returned where the goods show signs of unreasonable use.

° Provide a full refund for any product that is not what you ordered;

° Provide a full refund for any goods that are damaged or defective, if this is within a reasonable time following the sale

We will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for defective goods.
