Terms and Conditions

Lead Times

Our sales team may provide estimates in advance to help with your project planning. However, we make a great deal of our range to order for this reason, we will not confirm a delivery date until we have the deposit and have secured production with our factory.

Payment Terms

We ask for a 50% deposit to secure an order and arrange the production of your goods. When production is complete and the order is ready for despatch, we require the balance of the order to be paid in full so we can arrange delivery.
If the order is under 1000 £/$/€, we ask for full payment at the point of placing the order.

Storage

Please refer to section 4.7

We understand projects can be complex which can result in deliveries to the site being delayed.
For this reason, as long as the balance of the order is paid in full at the point that it is ready for despatch, we can then store the order for up to three months with no charge. Storage charges will apply after 3 months.

If the order is not paid in full when it is ready for despatch, then storage charges will be applied after month 1.

  1. When you become responsible for and own the Goods

6.1 The Goods will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.

9.7 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this Contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

11.2 When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so.

11.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Goods to you for domestic and private use. If you use the Goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

11.4 Our responsibility if we fail provide the Service with reasonable skill and care is limited. If we fail to provide the Service with reasonable skill and care our liability to you will be limited to the Contract price.

11.5 This clause 11 shall continue even when the Contract has ended.

12.1 We will take reasonable steps to prevent or minimise delay caused by an event outside our reasonable control.

12.2 Provided we have complied with clause 12.1 we will not be liable to you as a result of any delay or failure to perform our obligations under this Contract as a result of an event which is outside of our control.

12.3 If the event outside of our control prevents us from providing any of the Services and/or Goods for more than twelve (12) weeks, either of us we will, without affecting our other rights or remedies, have the right to terminate this Contract immediately by giving written notice.

(b) A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered personally, when left at the address referred to in clause 13.2(a); if sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting; if delivered by commercial courier, on the date and at the time that the courier’s delivery receipt is signed; or, if sent by e-mail, one Business Day after transmission.

(c) The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

 

13.3 If the court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

13.4 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us: (a) to supply the Goods and Services to you;

(b) to process your payment for the Goods and Services; and

(c) if you agree to this during the order process, to inform you about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving these communications at any time by contacting us.
