(b) for any other reason, returns will be subject to the following process:

Without limitation, you must take reasonable care of the Goods in your possession and the Goods must be returned at your risk, in the same condition in which you received them and securely re-packed in their original packaging. A handling charge of 15% of the invoiced value of the Goods plus the delivery and return carriage costs will be levied.

We will examine the returned Goods and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the damaged, defective or nonconforming Goods. Goods returned by you because of damage, defect or nonconformity will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.
9.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.
9.3 You have an obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods whilst they are in your possession. The consequences of failing to discharge this obligation with respect to any Goods to which clause 9.1 (a) applies are set forth in clause 5.5; we may also, at our discretion and without limitation, refuse to refund, repair or replace any Goods to which clause 9.1 (b) applies if we consider that you have failed to discharge this obligation.
