| Your Order | End of the cancellation period |
| Your Order is for a single Product (which is not delivered in installments on separate days). |
The end date is the end of 5 days after the day on which you receive the Product. Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 15 January. |
