Seller reserves the right at any time and/or remove or edit any materials or content on this Website.

Seller will not be liable to you or any other third party by reason of our withdrawing any Products from this Website, removing or editing any materials or content on this Website or for refusing to process or accept an order after we have received it or sent you an acknowledgement of receipt.

7. Cooling off period – your right to cancel your order

1. While we would bring your attention to our Refund Policy (See Clause 14), if you are contracting online as a consumer and are an EU resident, the EU Consumer Rights Directive provides that you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. 

1. If you have purchased Products from the Website and if you decide to cancel your order pursuant to this Clause 7, the Directive provides that you must advise Seller within 14 days of receipt of the Products. Please email us at: contact@cholesterolow.com stating your wish to cancel your contract and quoting your order reference number. You must return the items to us (at your own cost) (see below for details on returning items and a list of Products which cannot be returned).

1. Buyer will be responsible for any cost incurred or risk in returning the Products. Buyer has a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in its possession and you will be responsible for any diminished value of the Products resulting from the handling of the Products beyond that necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning. Under the Directive if you fail to inform Seller within the 14-day period you will not have a right to cancel the Contract and return the Products. This does not affect your statutory rights and you may still be able to return products under our standard Refund Policy.

8. Cancellation

Subject to Clause 7 (Cooling off period), any order that has been shipped or delivered has been processed and cannot be cancelled. You will be responsible for all charges incurred with respect to any Products processed prior to cancellation.

Occasionally, delivery of your order may be delayed or postponed, however the relevant delivery service partner will use its reasonable commercial efforts to let you know and to rearrange a delivery date. Delivery or shipping dates are approximate only and merely represent Seller’s best estimate of the time required to make delivery or shipment. We will use reasonable endeavours to avoid delay in delivery on the notified delivery dates. However, time is not of the essence and failure to deliver by the specified date will not be a sufficient cause for cancellation, nor will we be liable for any loss or damage due to delay in delivery.

1. You must confirm the shipping/delivery address details at the basket stage of the Website. If any details require modification following receipt of the confirmation email, Buyer must report any changes or amendments to us by sending an email to: contact@cholesterolow.com .
