If the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this.

    Withdrawal and cancellation

  39. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
  40. You can cancel the Contract except for any Goods which are made to your special requirements (the Returns Right) by telling us no later than 30 calendar days from the day the Contract was entered into, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without liability, except in that case, you must return to any of our business premises the Goods in undamaged condition at your own expense. Then we must without delay refund to you the price for those Goods which have been paid for in advance, but we can retain any separate delivery charge. This does not affect your rights when the reason for the cancellation is any defective Goods. This Returns Right is different and separate from the Cancellation Rights below.
  41. This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods (with no others) in the following circumstances:
    1. goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised;
    2. goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly.
  42. Also, the Cancellation Rights for a Contract cease to be available in the following circumstances:
      1. in the case of any sales contract, if the goods become mixed inseparably (according to their nature) with other items after delivery.

    Right to cancel

  43. Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
  44. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. See below for cancellation policy for Subscription Products.
  45. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision (eg email). You must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made (e.g. by the date stamp on the email). We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation in a Durable Medium (eg by email) without delay.

    Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period

  46. Except as set out below, 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).

    Deduction for Goods supplied

  47. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.

    Timing of reimbursement

  48. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:
    1. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or
      (if earlier)
    2. 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
  49. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
  50. 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.

    Returning Goods

  51. If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at Moy Road Industrial Estate, Taff’s Well CF15 7QR without delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate to us your cancellation of this Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods.
  52. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings:
      1. distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded;
      2. sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

    Sale of Subscription Products

  53. When you purchase a Subscription Product you agree to a continuous payment authority (CPA) to Hatton Science Communication Limited that will occur repeatedly on a regular basis, starting on the date of purchase and repeated on the same day of the month after a number of months as specified by you (the billing cycle).
  54. You can find the specific details regarding your Subscription Product and CPA by logging in to your account on www.letterboxlab.com and clicking through to the relevant section.
  55. We consider the Contract as described above to be entered on every date that payment is taken via this CPA. The date is the day of the month when the purchase was made, plus the billing cycle(s). If you do not cancel the CPA prior to this date then you are agreeing to enter this Contract.
  56. You have the right to cancel the CPA at any time before a Contract is entered without incurring any costs.
  57. Should you cancel the CPA after the contract has been entered your rights as described above relating to delivery and cancellation still apply.
  58. You have the right to “suspend” your Subscription Product for any amount of time. This action is limited to once within each billing cycle. Under special circumstances we will consider increasing this limit – please contact us at info@letterboxlab.com to discuss.
  59. You have the option to purchase several instalments of a Subscription Product together (a Quarterly Subscription). If you accept this option you agree to pay upfront for three installments that will be delivered one month (or two months) apart, as specified by you.
  60. If you cancel a Quarterly Subscription midway through the billing cycle of three months you will receive the remaining installments of goods paid for before cancellation. If you do not wish to receive the remaining installments please contact info@letterboxlab.com to arrange a refund for the previous payment, minus the cost of the received products based on their price as advertised for a one-month billing cycle.
  61. We reserve the right to change the fees for Subscription Products at any time. We agree to provide 30 days’ notice of such changes.
  62. Whilst we have made every effort to ensure that our Subscription Products fit through most letterboxes, we cannot guarantee that the person who delivers the Subscription Product to you will put it through the letterbox.

    Discounts and offers

  63. From time to time we will offer discounts on our products through the application of coupons to the website store. No two offers can be used in conjunction on a single order unless otherwise specified by us.
  64. If you use a coupon for a discount on the first instalment of a Subscription Product you will be charged the full price on subsequent instalments (see Sale of Subscription Products above).You can find our current discounts and offers here.

    Conformity

  65. We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have conformed if it does not meet the following obligation.
  66. Upon delivery, the Goods will:
    1. be of satisfactory quality;
    2. be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
    3. conform to their description.
  67. It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.

    Successors and our sub-contractors

  68. Either party can transfer the benefit of this Contract to someone else, and will remain liable to the other for its obligations under the Contract. The Supplier will be liable for the acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help perform its duties.

    Circumstances beyond the control of either party

  69. In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control:

      1. the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and
      2. the party’s obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer’s above rights relating to delivery and cancellation.

    Excluding liability

  70. The Supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) for death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier’s other legal obligations. Subject to this, the Supplier is not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the Contract was made, or (ii) loss (eg loss of profit) to the Customer’s business, trade, craft or profession which would not be suffered by a Consumer – because the Supplier believes the Customer is not buying the Goods wholly or mainly for its business, trade, craft or profession.

    Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints

  71. The Contract (including any non-contractual matters) is governed by the law of England and Wales.
  72. Disputes can be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales or, where the Customer lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of respectively Scotland or Northern Ireland.
