We will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs You incur in returning the item to Us.

20.     Waiver

20.1            If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of Your obligations under the Contract or any of these Conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve You from compliance with such obligations.
