8. YOUR RIGHT TO END THE CONTRACT

8.1 You can always end your contract with our distributor: Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it and when you decide to end the contract:

a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract and get some, or all of your money back (alternatively, you may ask for a replacement product under the terms of your warranty as identified in these Terms);
b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
c) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause 8.6.

8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do priori to the receipt of the products: If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and without need for a court order and our authorized distributor will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided. The reasons are:

a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or these Terms which you do not agree to;
b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed (see clause 5.3);
c) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside the control of either the authorized distributor or us.

For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot end a contract for the above reasons after you have received your Product.

You can do this by email, by sending us a letter by post or by calling us (please see our contact details in clause 2.2 above). We will send you an email acknowledging receipt of such cancellation. To meet the cancellation deadline as specified in these Terms, you must send your notification concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. Please keep a copy of your cancellation notification for your own records.

8.4 Returning products after ending the contract: If the Products have already been dispatched to you or you have already received them, you must return them to our authorized distributor (in compliance with our Return Policy as per Article 9.2) without undue delay and in any event not later than 7 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation of this contract.

8.5 When you will be refunded if you are exercising your right to cancel the contract, you will receive a full refund of the price you paid to our authorized distributor for the Products and any applicable delivery charges. Our authorized distributor will process the refund as per the laws and regulation of KSA and in any event not later than (a) 30 days after the day we receive back from you any Products supplied; or (b) if there were no Products supplied, 30 days after the day on which we receive your cancellation notification. We may withhold the refund until we have received the Products back or you have supplied evidence of having returned the Products to us (whichever is the earliest).

8.6 Ending the contract where there has been no fault and there is no right to change your mind: Even if we or our authorized distributor are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind, you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay compensation. The contract for the Products is completed when the Product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where neither we nor the authorized distributor are at fault and you do not have the right to change your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and our authorized distributor will refund any sums paid by you for Products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
