  1. Our contract with you

 

3.1       Our acceptance of your order will take place when we tell you that we are able to provide you with the product(s) at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.

 

3.2       If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product(s).

3.3       We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

 

  1. Our product(s)

 

4.1       The images of the product(s) on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours or the printed pictures in our brochure accurately reflects the colour of the product(s). Your product(s) may vary slightly from those images.

 

4.2       If we are making the product(s) to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct. You can find information and tips on how to measure in our brochure or on our website, or by contacting us.

If you wish to make a change to the product(s) you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product(s), the timing for delivery or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.

 

  1. Our rights to make changes

 

6.1       We may change the product(s) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product(s).

 

6.2       In addition, we may make changes to these terms or the product(s), but if we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract and receive a full refund before the changes take effect.

 

  1. Providing the product(s)

 

7.1       The costs of delivery and/or installation will be as told to you during the order process.

 

7.2       During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the product(s) to you and install them.

 

7.2.1    If the product(s) is one-off purchase (rather than a subscription) we will deliver it to you and install it as soon as possible.  We will contact you with an estimated delivery and installation date.

 

7.2.2    We will deliver the product(s) to you until either you end the contract as described in clause 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 9.

 

7.3       We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our delivery or installation of the product(s) is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

7.5       If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the product(s) cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to re-arrange delivery.

 

7.6       If you do not collect the product(s) from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 9 will apply.

 

7.7       If you have asked us to install the product(s) for you and you do not allow us access to your property as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result, If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and clause 9 will apply

 

7.8       You have legal rights if we deliver any product(s) late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any product(s) then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

 

7.8.1    We have refused to deliver the product(s);

 

7.8.2    Delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

 

7.8.3    You told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

 

7.9       If the reasons above do not apply or you do not wish to cancel the contract as, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

 

7.10     If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.8, you can cancel your order for any of the product(s) or reject products that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those product(s) (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled product(s) and their delivery. If the product(s) have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, and we will pay the costs of this.

 

7.11     The product(s) will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product(s) to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.

 

7.12     You own the product(s) once we have received payment in full.

 

7.13     We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the product(s) to you and install them for you. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the product(s) on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (see clause 9) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying or installing the product(s) late or not supplying or installing any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

8.4       If you end the contract after product(s) have been dispatched to you and (because we cannot recall them) they are delivered to you, you must return them to us.

  1. Price and payment

 

11.1     The price of the product(s) (which includes VAT) will be the price set out in our price list in force at the date of your order unless we have agreed another price in writing. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of product(s) advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product(s) you order.

 

11.2     If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product(s), we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product(s) (including delivery and installation costs) in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

 

11.3     It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the product(s) we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may terminate the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require you to return the product(s) at our expense.

 

11.4     We accept payment with VISA and MASTERCARD. You must pay for the product(s) (including delivery and installation costs before we dispatch them. We will not charge your credit or debit card until we dispatch the product(s) to you.

 

11.5     If we are unable to collect any payment from you by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

 

11.6     If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know.

14.5     If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
