Title of the product(s) does not pass until full payment has been received for all goods delivered to the buyer under this

should return the goods to the company if possible in its original condition, and with all the packaging to prevent charges

satisfactory receipt of the goods. Refunds will be by payment to the originating credit card or by cheque at the company’s
discretion.
