If you fail to take delivery because you have cancelled your contract under the Consumer Contracts Regulations the Supplier shall refund or re-credit you within 30 days for any sum that has been paid by you or on your behalf for the goods. On exercising your right to cancel you shall be required to return the goods to the Supplier. Should you fail to return the goods, the Supplier reserves the right to deduct any direct costs incurred by the Supplier in retrieving the goods as a result of such failure.
6.6. If delivery fails because of an error on your part, for instance an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, and your order is subsequently returned to us, you will be asked to submit correct details and additional delivery charges may apply for each redelivery attempt.
