If, before we contact you with a Dispatch Email, we discover an error in the price of the Products you have ordered we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. We will also refund to you the price you paid in advance (if any) for any Product in respect of which an order is cancelled or treated as cancelled.

If you cancel the Contract in accordance with these Terms or your statutory rights, ownership of the Products will revert to us at the moment immediately before the Contract is cancelled.
9. Your cancellation and refund rights if you are a consumer
For Returns Policy see section 17.0
9.1. If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out below in clause 9.3. This means that if you change your mind or for any other reason and you decide you do not want to keep a Product during the cancellation period, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. You do not have to give us a reason for exercising your right to cancel during the period set out below in clause 9.3. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens´ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
9.2. However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
9.2.1. any Products that are made to your specification and/or which are clearly
personalised or custom made;
9.2.2. any Products that comprise sealed audio or video recordings or sealed computer software (i.e. Hard Copy Media), where such Products are unsealed after delivery;
9.2.3. any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery to you; or
9.2.4. any Products that comprise digital content not on a tangible medium (i.e. Digital Products), where the supply of such Products has begun.
9.3. Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Email, which is when the Contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the Contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:
Your Contract
End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Email on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January, you may cancel the Contract at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.
Your Contract is for either of the following:
• one Product which is delivered in instalments on separate days.
• multiple Products which are delivered on separate days.
The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the last instalment of the Product or the last of the separate Products ordered.
Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Email on 1 January and you receive the first instalment of your Product or the first of your separate Products on 10 January and the last instalment on 15 January, you may cancel the Contract in respect of all instalments and any or all of the separate Products at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 29 January.
9.4. To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form available via our website here: http://www.bluedonutstudios.com/customer_service. A link to the website cancellation form will be included in our Confirmation Email. You can return your completed cancellation form to us by email to info@bdgame.uk, by post to Blue Donut Games Ltd. 8 Spur Road, Cosham, Portsmouth, England, PO6 3EB.
If you do not wish to use the cancellation form, you can also email us at info@bdgame.uk or contact us by telephone on +44 (0) 2392 162 101 or by post to Blue Donut Games Ltd, 8 Spur Road, Cosham, Hampshire PO6 3EB, UK. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it (e.g. your order number, name, email address, etc.). If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us the notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period (with the correct postage paid) or email us before midnight on that day. You may wish to keep a copy of your cancellation notice for your own records.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
9.5. If you cancel your Contract and subject to you complying with clause 9.6 we will:
9.5.1. refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your unnecessary handling of them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop (i.e. your handling them in a manner other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Products) or where the item has not just been checked, but used. For example, if you purchase Hardware from the Site and, when it has been delivered to you, you take it out of the packaging to check it is not broken, this would be acceptable. However, it is likely that we would reduce your refund to reflect its diminished value if you were to use the Hardware before you returned them to us;;
9.5.2. refund any delivery costs you have paid in having the Products delivered to you, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund in respect of delivery costs you have paid will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 2-4 days at one cost , but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option;
9.5.3. make any refunds to you without undue delay and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
9.5.3.2. if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information on how to return a Product to us, see clause 9.6;;
if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
Please note that we may withhold reimbursement until you have complied with the requirements of clause 9.5.3.1.
9.6. If the Products are delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
9.6.1. you must return the Products to us without undue delay and within no more than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. The deadline is met if you send back the Products before the period of 14 days has expired. You can either send the Products back to us or hand the Products over to us at Our Premises;;
9.6.2. you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us and for ensuring that the Products returned to us are not damaged in transit (please see clause 9.8);;
9.6.3. for certain larger Products we may (but do not have to) offer to arrange collection of the Products on your behalf. Where this is the case, we may contact you and offer to collect the Products from you. In such circumstances, you agree that you will be responsible for paying us for the cost of the collection. We will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will charge you the direct costs to us of collection. We will notify you in advance of the cost of collection of the Products from you. For the avoidance of any doubt, this clause is not an offer to collect any Product(s) from you and/or to bear the cost of doing so in the event that you cancel a Contract;
9.6.4. you must take reasonable care of the Products and keep them in your possession and not use them until they are returned to us or collected by us.
9.7. Where reasonably possible, please return Products to us in their original packaging.
9.8. If you chose to return any Products to us we will not be responsible for loss or damage to them in transit. We therefore recommend that these are returned to us using a reputable delivery provider. If Products are damaged or lost in delivery we reserve the right to charge you, or not to refund any amounts due to you, that are attributable to the loss or damage.
9.9. We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay us for the Products. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
9.10. Where you request for us to deliver a Product to a third party you will only be able to exercise this cancellation right if you can return the goods to us or we can arrange with the third party to collect them.
9.11. Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with the Contract.
10. Our liability to you (YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN PARTICULARLY TO THIS CLAUSE)
10.1. If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a natural, foreseeable consequence of our breach of these Terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not so foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
10.2. In any event (subject to clause 10.3) we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit or revenue, loss of enjoyment, loss of or damage to reputation or goodwill, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity that you suffer, in each case whether directly or indirectly, as a result of entering into a Contract.

We will endeavour to bring the Event Outside Our Control to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Event Outside Our Control.
12.4. If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you.
