(a)     If you cancel your order, you must return any products you have received.

(b)     You will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us unless:

  •       The products you received are faulty or not as described; or

(c)     You must take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession and unless you are exercising your rights under the Penhaligon’s Promise products must be returned to us unused and in their original packaging.

(d)     If you chose to return any products to us, we will not be responsible for loss or damage to them in transit.

  •       We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any deduction in the value of the products if this has been caused by your handling of the products which would not be permitted in a shop. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the products while they are in your possession and are responsible for the risk of damage during transport. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
