9.1. Where you are placing an order for or on behalf of a company or institution, you shall have no right to cancel an order because you have changed your mind. The remainder of this section only applies where the order is placed by a consumer, not a company or an institution.

9.2. You have the right to change your mind and cancel your order within 30 days after receipt of the goods by sending an email to uksocial@moomin.com or in another clear manner.

9.3. If the order is cancelled because you have changed your mind then you must either post the goods back to Funkis or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow Funkis to collect them. You will be responsible for the costs of postage or collection if the return is due to a change of your mind. 

9.4. If you have received the products, the products must be kept substantially unchanged and undiminished until you have decided to keep the products. If, however, you withdraw from the contract after the products have been taken into use, you are responsible for any diminished value of the products resulting from the handling of the products other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products (or in other words, other than handling that would be permitted in a shop). Funkis may thus charge you for any decrease in value, or refuse a refund if the goods have become unsellable due to use.

9.5. When sending back the products, you will be responsible for any damage in transit.

9.6. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of purchases of (a) custom made / made to order / on-demand products such as the Official Moomin Shop’s sweatshirt, t-shirts and posters or (b) foodstuff and sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons and were unsealed after delivery. Please contact uksocial@moomin.com with enquiries.

9.7. Only returning the goods or not collecting them from the post without a separate notice of withdrawal is not sufficient to cancel the order because you have changed your mind. It is your responsibility to clearly tell Funkis that you have changed your mind and wish to cancel the order.

9.8. If you cancel the order prior to delivery or for any reason decline to receive the goods and they are to be returned to Funkis any reasonable returning fees and charges incurred by Funkis may be deducted from the amount refunded for the product(s).
