11.1 To cancel a Contract you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. Do not send back any Products without first notifying us through an email of your intention to cancel the Contract. Without any confirmation to cancel the Contract, this may delay any refund you may be entitled to. If you use this method we will email you to confirm that we have received your cancellation.

However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning. We may deduct the lost value (which may be as much as the Contract price) from the sums we are obliged to reimburse to you.
(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, 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;
