Please note that we aim to dispatch all orders within 48 hours. Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. Vintage IndiaUK Ltd are not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes, or any other reason out of our control.

6. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

6.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it and when you decide to end the contract:

  • (a)If what you have bought is faulty or mis-described you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 10;
  • (b)If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 7.2;
  • (c)If you have just changed your mind about the product, refer to our Delivery and Returns page. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
  • (d)In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 7.3.

6.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products that have not been provided. The reasons are:

  • (a)We have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms that you do not agree to;

A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for.
