9.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract under these regulations is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
9.4 You may cancel a Contract from the date you receive the Dispatch Confirmation, which is when the Contract between us is formed. If the Products have already been delivered to you, you have a period of 14 (fourteen) working days in which you may cancel, starting from the day you receive the Products.
9.5 To cancel a Contract, please contact us in writing to tell us by sending an e-mail to info@crowncouture.co.uk or in writing to CrownCouture, 10 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NH. You may wish to keep a copy of your cancellation notification for your own records. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by letter, then your cancellation is effective from the date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us. If you call us to notify us of your cancellation, then your cancellation is effective from the date you telephone us.
9.6 Please note that cancellation rights do not apply in the case of any custom-made products. All sales of custom-made items are final.
9.7 Provided stock Products are returned in their original condition and packaging, you will receive a full refund of the price (minus postage costs) you paid for the Products provided they are returned within 14 days of receipt of the items. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation as described in clause 9.4. If you returned the Products to us because they were faulty or mis-described, please see clause 9.12.

9.10 Any faulty hair must be reported within a maximum of 14 days of receipt of the item. We must receive the said faulty item back within seven days of the complaint being made- it will then be examined and inspected. This is due to human hair being a consumable item during wear.

ii) chemical or heat damage;
iii) wilful damage, abnormal storage or working conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;
iv) if you fail to operate or use the aftercare products in accordance with the user instructions;
