Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.
If you notice an error after placing your order, please contact us as soon as possible at hello@ecbcompany.co.uk. We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed after an order has been dispatched.
If an order is returned to us because an incorrect or incomplete address was supplied, we may ask the customer to pay the additional cost of sending it again.
