Right to cancel under “Distance Selling
Regulations”
2.1
If you
are a consumer (i.e. acting for purposes outside a business), you have the
right (ending 7 working days following the day after delivery of goods) to
cancel the contract by email to anastasia@soulsandgowns.com
or any of the other methods specified in Distance Selling Regulations in which case we will refund the price
paid for the goods plus delivery charges attributable to the cancelled item using the same method originally used by you to
pay for your purchase. You are
required to take reasonable care of items. If you cancel, you must return the
goods to us at your own expense. We request that you immediately contact us by
email to anastasia@soulsandgowns.com so
that we can agree on the postage method and we also request that you provide
reasonable co-operation with us to enable this to happen. We will charge you
the direct costs of recovery if you personally arrange to return the goods to us at our expense. (This paragraph does not apply to
goods to which the right of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations
does not apply including goods which by their nature cannot be returned or
which are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised.)

Your above rights under the Distance Selling Regulations are not
affected by any separate returns policy on our website.

effort to display as accurately as possible the appearance / colour / texture /
finish of our goods. However, what you see will depend on your monitor and
