In this case, subject to clause 5.2 you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Goods in accordance with our refunds policy which is available on request. This right of cancellation does not apply to any Goods personalised or made to your specification
5.2 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Goods to us, in the same condition in which you received them with the original packaging and the product documentation, and at your own cost and risk. The Goods must not have been used and, where applicable, must not have been removed from the sealed clear packaging. This includes electrical items, which are supplied in sealed clear packaging.
5.3 Subject to clause 5.2, if you want to cancel the Contract or have been supplied with Goods which are incorrect or defective, you must notify us within 7 days from the date of delivery (the “Cooling-Off Period”), in which a refund, (or if you require an exchange or replacement) will be provided. Without prejudice to clause 14.1.3 and clause 14.3, you will only be entitled to a refund if your notification is provided within 21 days after the Cooling-Off Period has lapsed, otherwise in the event that notification is given after the expiry of this time period, then save as where Goods are defective we reserve the right to issue only an exchange or replacement.
5.4 West Lancs Auto Electrics Retail Ltd. shall have no liability for incorrect Goods purchased by you online for foreign registered cars once the Cooling-Off Period lapses. To minimise the purchase of any incorrect Goods we advise that customers with foreign registered vehicles contact our specialist sales staff by sending an email to us, who will offer guidance to customers and confirm that any Goods are correct prior to purchase.
5.5 Details of how to exercise this right of cancellation can be obtained by calling the telephone number as stated on the documentation accompanying the Goods.
5.6 You may also cancel an order for Services by calling the telephone number notified to you, within 7 working days of the date of purchase, unless the Services begin sooner, in which case your right to terminate ends upon the date when performance of the Services starts.

6 Prices
6.1 The prices of the Goods and Services will be as quoted in our marketing literature from time to time except in cases of obvious error (see clause 6.7).

6.6 No allowance will be credited for Goods collected from our premises by you rather than delivered by us.
6.7 You acknowledge that we stock a large number of Goods and list a large number of Services. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some prices may be incorrectly listed. We are under no obligation to provide Goods or Services to you at an incorrect, lower price, even after we have acknowledged your order or dispatched the Goods or started performance of the Services, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as mis-pricing.
