When we may make deductions from refunds
Your refund may be adjusted to account for any decrease in the value of the goods if their handling deviates from what would be acceptable in a retail setting. You can remove goods from the outer box packaging for inspection. However, for a full refund, the soother must remain in its original condition, sealed within the soother bag with the tamper-proof seal intact, and placed back in the original outer box packaging. If we refund your payment before inspecting the goods and subsequently find them handled improperly, you are liable to reimburse us accordingly.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. 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.
How we refund you
Refunds will be processed once we receive your returned product/s and have established the reason for return.
Any refunds to you will be made to the debit or credit card account used for placing and paying for your order. Please allow up to 14 days for any refund to be processed and to reach your account.
Please be aware that we reserve the right to withhold amounts for product/s which are damaged on return to us, or have not been returned in the original packaging.
If you wish to return a product/s after your right to cancel has expired, and you return it to us in a new, unused and resalable condition with its original packaging within 2 months of the date when you received it, we will refund the price paid of the product/s, but not the delivery charges.
If you return the product/s in a new and unused condition but without the original packaging, then we will give you a refund of the price after making a deduction for our reasonable costs for the provision of new packaging.
