Your right to cancel the purchase
1. If you wish to cancel an order, please contact us as quickly as possible. If your order has not already shipped, a full refund will be issued. If your order has already shipped, arrangements can be made for return.
2. Some Thrilled Kitty Products are custom made as and when an order is placed. These Products are exempt from current EU Distance Selling legislation regarding cancellation and refunds and you do not have the right to return these Products. Products that are custom made will be clearly marked as such in the Product description.
3. As a consumer, you have the right to return non-custom made Products, without any reason, within 14 working days from the receipt of the Products.

Thrilled Kitty is not liable for damage or loss of goods during return transit to Thrilled Kitty; we strongly recommend that returned Products are sent using a service that is tracked and insured to a sufficient value, as you will need to claim from the courier if the Product is not received by us or arrives damaged.
5. If you exercise this right to return the Products, you will return the Products ordered, in a state fit for their resale and in their original packaging.
6. Once Thrilled Kitty receives your Products, Thrilled Kitty will inspect it and notify you of receipt of your returned Products and the status of the refund.
