If so, we will inform the Consumer of any changes to the price of the product, the delivery time and any other necessary elements and we will ask the Consumer to confirm whether it wishes to proceed with the modification. Following the modification, a new acknowledgement of receipt will be sent to you by email.
9.2. Cancellation after delivery: In accordance with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, Part 3, Regulation 30, Consumers have a period of fourteen (14) days from the day after receipt of the last product of their order to exercise their right of cancellation without having to justify their reasons or pay penalties. If the fourteen (14) working day period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, it is extended until the first following working day.
9.3. The cancellation period commences on the day after the one on which the Consumer, or a third party designated by the Consumer in advance who is not the carrier, received the product, or:
a. if the Consumer placed a single order for several products: on the day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last product;
b. if the delivery of a product consists of different consignments or parts: on the day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer receives the last consignment or the last part;
9.4. All products may be subject to cancellation, except those excluded by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, Part 3, Regulation 28. Returned products must be intact and complete. During the cancellation period, the Consumer must handle the product and packaging with care. The Consumer will only unpack or use the product to the extent necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and operation of the product. The basic principle in this regard is that the Consumer may only inspect and use the product in the way that he would be allowed to do in a physical shop.
9.5. To exercise the right of cancellation, all Consumers have to do is to contact Insightful Environments by email at customer.services@ie-uk.com, by the return form on our Website and by specifying their name, email, phone and address to pick up the products that the Consumer wants to return, the order number, and the delivery date of the product that Consumers want to cancel. We will send a confirmation of receipt of the notice of cancellation without delay after receiving this notice.

Following a Consumers’ request for cancellation, Insightful Environments, in accordance with the legal provisions, will proceed to refund the purchase price of the products within a period of fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the return form. Insightful Environments may deduct from the reimbursement the loss in value of any products returned, if the Products have lost value resulting from the unreasonable wear and tear of the product other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. We may make a deduction from any reimbursement for such loss in value of any Products we supply.
9.8. Insightful Environments will refund the Consumer using the same payment method used for the purchase.
9.9. The risk and burden of proof with respect to the proper exercise of the right of cancellation within the applicable period of time lies with the Consumer.
