All products that are free with the purchase of a product or service, are considered a part of the overall contractual agreement made at the time of purchase, unless otherwise stated.

Where products purchased were part of a bundle or had a free item associated with the sale, all products must be returned. If you do not return all of the items associated with the purchase (e.g. free items) then the cost of these items will be removed from the refund paid back to you. The value of those items removed from the refund will be calculated at the price relevant at the time of your purchase.

If the product has been sold as a bundle offer then all parts must be present for the return to be completed. If all parts are not received then the return may be rejected and returned back to you or the value of the missing parts removed from your refund, the value of the parts will be based on the individual price of the items at the time of your purchase or as a percentage of the overall product cost that was paid.
