there is a 7 day cooling off period for purchases online. i have no idea whether it covers this, its late and i cba to read it properly but...
"There are also a number of regulations which specifically control contracts which are formed online. The 'distance selling' regulations came into force in 2000 and protect consumers involved in 'distance contracts' (including contracts concluded on-line) by requiring the supply of certain information to the consumer before and after the contract is entered into. They also give the consumer a seven day cooling off period during which he can change his mind and withdraw from the contract. The e-commerce regulations came into force in 2002, and also require a range of information is provided to consumers before they enter into the contract. For further information, see our guide on EU and UK Regulations, and our article, The Distance Selling Regulations – An Overview"
