At Hoodies & Jackets UK, we value your business and strictly uphold all statutory consumer protections dictated under UK law. This policy outlines your legal cancellation entitlements under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and your statutory quality rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Quick Overview of Statutory Timelines

• Statutory "Cooling-Off" / Right to Cancel: 14 calendar days beginning the day after the date of physical delivery.

• Statutory Refund Window: 14 calendar days from the date we receive the goods back, or 14 calendar days from the date you provide clear tracking proof of postage.

• Statutory Faulty Goods Return Window: Up to 30 calendar days for an absolute right to reject and receive a full refund.

1. Statutory Right to Cancel (Change of Mind)

Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, online consumers possess a legal right to cancel their purchase agreement without stating a reason within a 14-day cooling-off window. This period begins the day after you, or a specified third party, take physical possession of the package.

Eligibility Criteria & Handling Rules:

• Inspection Allowance: You are legally entitled to examine and try on the garments in the exact same manner you would be permitted to do within a physical brick-and-mortar retail shop.

• Diminished Value / Excessive Handling: If an item is returned showing evidence of usage beyond necessary handling (such as being washed, showing makeup stains, missing original retail tags, or carrying distinct odors), we reserve our statutory right under Regulation 34(9) to deduct an amount from your final refund corresponding to the diminished value of the goods.

2. Step-by-Step Statutory Cancellation Procedure

To formally exercise your legal right to cancel, you must notify us via a clear, unambiguous statement before the 14-day window expires.

1. Submit Notice: Send an explicit cancellation notice via email to support@hoodiesandjackets.co.uk containing your full name, order number, and the specific items you wish to return.

2. Return Shipment Period: Following your notice of cancellation, you must physically dispatch the goods back to our designated return facility without undue delay, and in any event no later than 14 calendar days from the day you notified us of your intent to cancel.

3. Mailing Guidance: We strongly urge you to return the items using a tracked shipping service. Under UK distance selling rules, the consumer retains legal responsibility and passing of risk for the items until they are securely delivered back to our facility. Please safely retain your official proof of postage.

3. Shipping Costs & Delivery Reimbursements

Faulty, Damaged, or Incorrect Items (Our Liability):

If you are returning goods due to an operational error or structural fault, Hoodies & Jackets UK will fully cover or reimburse all return transit expenditures.

Statutory "Change of Mind" (Your Liability):

As clearly communicated to you in these pre-contractual terms prior to purchase, the consumer is required to pay the direct cost of returning the items if returning due to a change of mind, size preference, or choice of colorway.

Outbound Shipping Refunds:

When exercising your right to cancel within the 14-day statutory period, we will fully refund your standard outbound shipping charge. Under the regulations, if you opted for a premium or expedited shipping tier at checkout, we are only legally required to reimburse the cost equivalent to our cheapest standard delivery option.

4. Statutory Rights for Faulty or Substandard Goods

Your purchases are protected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Every item supplied must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and precisely as described on our product page.

If an item develops a manufacturing defect or is found to be non-compliant, your legal remedies scale across the following statutory intervals:

• The Short-Term Right to Reject (0–30 Days): If your item is faulty or misdescribed upon arrival, you have an immediate statutory right to reject the item and claim a full 100% refund.

• The Right to Repair or Replacement (30 Days–6 Months): If a defect arises after 30 days, you are entitled to request a repair or replacement at no charge to you. If our single attempt at repair or replacement proves unsuccessful, you are then legally entitled to a full refund or an appropriate price reduction if you choose to keep the product.

• Onus of Proof: For any fault reported within the first six months from delivery, the law presumes the fault was present at the time of delivery unless we can definitively prove otherwise.

To report a faulty delivery, email us immediately at info@hoodiesandjackets.co.uk with your order number, a summary of the defect, and clear photographic evidence.

5. Non-Cancellable & Exempt Items

In line with the exemptions set out in Regulation 28 of the Consumer Contracts Regulations, the statutory right to cancel does not apply to:

• Goods customized or personalized specifically to your metrics or written requirements.

• Garments that have been permanently altered or damaged by the user after delivery.

• Products returned long after the expiration of the statutory 14-day notification window.

Pre-Contractual International Notice: Please take explicit note that while our customer administration office is located inside the UK, our central distribution and production facility is located in Pakistan. Consequently, your return transit time may take longer than a regional UK domestic delivery. This geographical logistics dynamic does not override or restrict your UK consumer protection rights.
