6. CONSUMER RIGHTS
- 6.1 The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (the "Regulations") allow consumers the right to cancel orders for goods or
services during the period of seven working days after the day on which delivery of goods takes place or the service being provided commences (the
"Cooling Off Period") subject to clause 6.5. If you choose to exercise this right, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the
Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 9 below). Please carefully read the provisions below as they will affect your right
to cancel the Contract.
- 6.2 The seven day Cooling Off Period will start:
- 6.2.1 if you order a Download, on the day after the date on which the Download is made available to you for electronic transfer from your personal
Account area; or
- 6.2.2 if you order Goods, on the day that the Product is delivered to the address specified in your order.
- 6.3 To cancel a Contract within the Cooling Off period, you must inform us in writing by giving notice to MSStore.UK@msdirectservices.com.
6.4 Goods
If you have given us notice to the cancel the Contract within the Cooling Off Period, you must return the Goods, together with
any dockets or receipts, to us immediately at your own cost and risk. Goods must be returned to us at the returns address (which we will notify to you
after you have provided us with notice of cancellation in accordance with clause 6.3 above), unopened and in their original packaging and in the same
condition in which you received them. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession. If you fail
to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. We recommend that you retain copies of any dockets,
receipts and proof of postage for your records.
6.5 Downloads
The Regulations contain several exceptions to the Cooling Off Period. These exemptions are relevant to the purchase of
Downloads from the Microsoft Store. You acknowledge and agree that when you purchase a Download, once the Digital Licence Key has been downloaded to a
personal computer the Product is in a 'used' condition and your rights under the Cooling Off Period shall end. This exclusion applies in the same way
as if you bought a CD from an online retailer and unsealed the cellophane. By doing this you are using the Product and you would not be entitled to
reject the CD during the Cooling Off Period.
Upon receipt of your cancellation we shall deactivate the Digital License Key immediately.
For the avoidance of doubt this does not affect your statutory rights in the event that the download is defective, for example if, the Download is
corrupted. In this event please refer to paragraph 9 (Refund Policy) of these terms of sale. Further details of this statutory right and an
explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Order Confirmation.

- 8.4 The Microsoft Store contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed
in the Microsoft Store may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct
price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product´s correct price is higher than
the price stated in the Microsoft Store, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or
reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
- 8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if
the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
- 8.6 Payment for all Products must be made by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, Master Card, American Express and Maestro. We are
under no obligation to deliver the Products until we have received payment from you.
