The Customer is responsible for the cost of returning the goods if they choose to cancel under the Regulations. If the Customer does not return the goods to Afri Techno, they must make the goods available for collection at their expense from the delivery address.
During the period awaiting return to Afri Techno, the Customer must retain possession of the goods and take reasonable care of them. Failure to comply with this obligation may result in the Customer being liable for any loss of or damage to the goods.
