The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give consumers the right to cancel contracts concluded at a distance at any time in the cancellation period (14 days after the day on which the goods come into the physical possession of the consumer) without incurring any liability (Sections 29 - 30). Section 35 provides that the consumer must send off the goods, or hand them over, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which the consumer informs the trader of his/her decision to return the goods.
Restricting the consumer's right to exercise his/her statutory 14 day cancellation right - by stating that if the returned goods are delivered to the merchant's office on a Saturday, the customer is liable for them being misplaced/getting lost - is contrary to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 (UTCCR).
Section 5 of the UTCCR provides that a contractual term which has not been individually negotiated shall be regarded as unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties’ rights and obligations arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer. Pursuant to Section 6 of the UTCCR, the unfairness of a contractual term shall be assessed, taking into account the nature of the goods or services for which the contract was concluded and by referring, at the time of conclusion of the contract, to all the circumstances attending the conclusion of the contract and to all the other terms of the contract or of another contract on which it is dependent.
As the stronger party in the contractual relationship, Woofs or Worcesterr has a duty to organize its business so that returns can be accepted also on a Saturday/ arrange with the post office so that goods aren't delivered on a Saturday /are not left with neighbors, but that Woofs or Worcester can pick them up at the post office on Monday, for instance.
Section 8 of the UTCCR provides that unfair terms in contracts concluded with consumers by sellers or suppliers shall not be binding on the consumers. As a result, Woofs of Worcester can't refuse to refund the consumer for goods that are delivered on a Saturday within the statutory 14 day cancellation period and get misplaced.
