12. Your consumer right of return and refund
If you are based in the EU, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 provided you give us written notice within 14 days. This means that during this period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of Products that are personalised.
In addition to your statutory rights outlined above, we will honour a cancellation of your order at any time within 30 days of receipt of the goods, providing they are returned to us in good condition i.e. unused and undamaged in any way. You should try to use the original packaging when you return the goods to us.
To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is by contacting us or by letter to: Bespoke British Pens Ltd, Unit 11C, Wren Centre, Westbourne Rd, Emsworth PO10 7SU, UK. If you are e-mailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us.
If you cancel your Contract we will:
(i) refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
(ii) 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).
(iii) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(i) 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you; or
(ii) if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us; or
(iii) if no Products were supplied, 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
If you have returned the Products to us under this section 6 because they are faulty or mis-described, we will refund the price of the Products in full, together with any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
We will make reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction.
If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
(i) then you must return it to the designated manufacturer without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract.
(ii) unless the Product is faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us.

If we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a miss-pricing, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
