8.1.    n the event you wish to and are entitled to return Goods that are subject to Trade Business Credit Payment Terms to Halfords in accordance with Halfords’ and/or Halfords Seller’s terms and conditions, you can notify Kriya of a return to stop payments. Upon such notification, Kriya will pause the Payment Schedule by up to two (2) weeks to allow Halfords to process your returned Goods and you will not incur late payment charges during this period. If the return is not completed within the two (2) week period (e.g. you later decide not to return the Goods or you are in fact not entitled to return the Goods), the Purchase Amount shall remain payable and the Payment Schedule shall resume. You will only be able to make this request once per order of Goods.

8.3.   Once Halfords has notified Kriya of the amount of the refund due to you for the Goods returned that are subject to Trade Business Credit Payment Terms, Kriya will, on the same day, make the appropriate adjustment to the Trade Business Credit Payment Terms. If you have returned all the Goods to Halfords and are entitled to a full refund under Halfords’s terms and conditions, Kriya will end the Payment Schedule and issue a refund of any Payments made by you to Kriya under the Payment Method. If you have not returned all the Goods to Halfords, or if Halfords has notified Kriya that a partial refund is due to you, Kriya will adjust the Trade Business Credit Payment Terms and the Payment Schedule appropriately (including to reduce or cancel any future Payments, if necessary). Please note, in the event of partial refunds, refund amounts are subtracted from the Payment Schedule in reverse order of maturity. If the refund is processed to your expired or cancelled card, you will need to obtain the returned funds by contacting your bank.
