6.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract, as set out below. We’re under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract and nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.
6.2 If what you have bought is faulty or differs substantially from how it is described on our website you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product replaced or to be given a refund). In this case, the return will be free in the United Kingdom provided you return the product to us within 30 days (unless stated otherwise on our website) from the date you receive it. We honour our legal duty to provide you with products that are as described to you on our website and that meet all the requirements imposed by law. Your legal rights are summarised below. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.citizensadvice.org.uk.
Summary of your key legal rights
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get a refund.
Up to six months: if your goods can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.
6.3 If you want to end the contract because of one of the reasons set out below, the contract will end immediately, we will refund you in full for any products which you have paid for but which have not been supplied to you. The reasons are:
6.3.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;
6.3.2 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;

6.4 If you have changed your mind about the product. We offer a goodwill guarantee which gives you 30 days (unless stated otherwise on our website), to change your mind and receive a refund instead of the standard 14 days (which does not affect your legal rights in relation to faulty products). You have 30 days (unless stated otherwise on our website), from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the products or we deliver it (whichever is the earlier) to change your mind. If your products are split into several deliveries over different days, you have until 30 days (unless stated otherwise on our website), after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive(s) the last delivery to change your mind. In either case, you will need to pay the cost of the return within the aforementioned cancellation period set out above, or you can return the products directly to our physical store (but you'll need to bring your original order number with you to do this) again within the same period. If you choose to send the product back to us, in which case this must be using an established delivery service, you should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent it and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won't refund you the price.
6.5 For full details please refer to our returns and refund policy which can be viewed here: https://www.occamdistribution.com/return-and-refund-policy. In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind).

6.6 We can always change a product: to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or to make minor technical adjustments and improvements. These are changes that don't affect your use of the product.

The process for returning products to us is set out in our Returns Policy. Unless stated otherwise on our website, please make sure that the products are returned to us within 30 days. If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value.

In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due.

We will refund you the price you paid for the products (including delivery costs where applicable and subject to the above provisions) by the method you used for payment. If you used a discount code to buy the product, the amount refunded will be reduced to take into account the benefit of any discount which you received when buying the product. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are exercising your right to change your mind, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day we receive the unused product back from you.
8. Our rights to end the contract
8.1 We may end our contract with you. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you and claim compensation due to us if:

9. Price and payment
9.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order or, in the case of our physical stores, will be displayed on the products. We take care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 9.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order. We charge you when you order the product(s). We do offer alternative payment options with Klarna please note that additional terms and conditions will apply if you choose either of these options – please see https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/legal/terms/0/en_gb/slice_it_card/.
9.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we’ll adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
9.3 We may change the price of our products. Sometimes we need to make changes to the price of some of our products. When this happens, we’ll update the prices on our website, and in store. If you placed your order for a product before the price change, the price will be as stated on our website or our app (as applicable) at the time when you placed your order.
9.4 What happens if we get the price wrong? It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, if the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.
9.5 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, & PayPal. We will charge you at the point you place the order through the checkout, although the price payable by you for the products may appear as pending transactions against the payment method you use.
9.6 We charge interest on late payments. If we're unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.
9.7 We also offer the option for you to purchase using Klarna Bank (AB) (publ). The availability of these options to you is subject to approval by Klarna. Further information and the terms which apply to these options can be found on Klarna’s website. Please note that we reserve the right to withdraw or suspend these options with Klarna at any time at our sole discretion.

This does not affect your statutory rights. A discount will not be applied to items subsequently replaced.
