Unit 18 Ousegill Business Park, Carrside Road, Great Ouseburn, YO26 9AE
(email: wormers-direct@outlook.com):
I/We [*] hereby give notice that I/We [*] cancel my/our [*] contract of sale of the following goods [*]/the supply of the following service [*],
Ordered on [*]/received on [*],
Name of consumer(s),
Address of consumer(s),
Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper),
Date
[*] Delete as appropriate
3.4 To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. Please note that the expiry of the cancellation period does not affect your rights to return goods to us if they are faulty (see clause 8).
4 Effects of your cancellation
4.1 If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
4.2 We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied. We will only do this if the loss in value is the result of handling of the goods where that handing was (in our reasonable opinion) more than was necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods, and later discover you have handled them unnecessarily in a way that has devalued the goods, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
4.3 We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
4.3.1 14 days after the day we received back from you any goods supplied; or
4.3.2 (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods; or
4.3.3 if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.
4.4 We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
4.5 If you have received goods:
4.5.1 you shall send back the goods to our registered office address, or hand them over to us, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired.
4.5.2 you will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
4.5.3 you are liable for any reduction in the value of the goods due to unnecessary handling (see clause 4.2).

we will let you have a revised estimated date for delivery of the goods.

If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may cancel the contract. In this event, we will refund any money you have paid in advance for goods we have not delivered but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract (such as storage and further delivery costs).
