If you place an order on our website, the contract will only be made when we send an email confirming we have accepted your order. Please check this email as soon as possible and contact us without delay if you notice any errors. If we are unable to accept your order we will inform you of this without delay and refund any money we have taken.

GOODS

The goods you receive from us must be; of satisfactory quality, fit for common purpose or any purpose made known to us, and must meet any description given. Please note that the images of the products we supply in our brochures and online are for illustration purposes only and we cannot guarantee that these printed/computer-displayed images will reflect the colour/finish of the goods accurately.

We recommend you make use of our free sample service to ensure a colour match before you order. Our packaging may also vary.

Where the goods are "made to measure" you shall have no right to amend or cancel your order, return the goods or seek any refund of the price paid by you from us. This is because when we receive your order, the manufacturing process begins immediately and the goods are manufactured to your exact specification, pursuant to The Consumer Contracts (information, cancellation and additional charges) Regulations 2013. This does not affect your statutory rights.

GUARANTEE

We offer a 12 month guarantee to cover any manufacturing faults. Full details will be sent with our email confirming our acceptance of your order.

CHILD SAFETY

Legislative requirements are in place to reduce the risk of strangulation to young children. If the goods you have ordered contain any safety device(s) and/or are to be fitted in accordance with child safety requirements you are required to fit such device(s).

MEASUREMENTS

It is your responsibility to take the correct measurements of your window. If you are unsure about any products or how to measure please call our customer services team for help before ordering or consult the online measuring guide. We cannot accept the return of made-to-measure goods on the basis that the measurements were incorrectly supplied by you.

All items are cut to size and will be accurate with working tolerances and variances of +/-5mm. Orders cannot be returned if within this limit.

INSTALLATION

Full instructions for installation will be provided with your goods. If on inspection you find they are missing, please contact out customer services who will be able to provide a replacement copy. If using a professional installer we recommend you wait until you have received and checked your goods before arranging this. Some of our products will need to be connected to an appropriate power source. For this you should use a fitter who is appropriately qualified and registered with one of the government’s electrical safety schemes.

Please note we cannot be held responsible for goods that have not been fitted correctly unless it is due to our negligence.

PRICE

The price for goods/services is set out in full in the online form and includes VAT. Full payment will be taken at the time of order.

DELIVERY

The cost of delivery is included in the price.

If we are delivering to you (this will be within 30 days unless a different date is agreed with you) and no one is available to take the delivery at your address, we will leave you a note informing you of how to re-arrange delivery. If you

do not re-arrange delivery (or collect the goods from us) within a reasonable time, we may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to contact you to re-deliver or arrange collection within a reasonable time, we may end the contract and you will still be liable to pay us up to the price due under the contract.

All lead times are approximate and note a term of contract.

Where delivery of the goods is made to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Orkney, Shetland and Scottish Islands, acceptance of your order and completion of the contract between you and us will only take place when we have agreed with you and processed any additional delivery charges.

MANUFACTURING

Vertical blinds and vanes only will be either stitched or an ultrasonic weld will be used, we do not glue any vertical blinds.

DELAY OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL

If delivery/installation is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible and take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for any delays caused by the event, as long as the goods are still supplied within a reasonable length of time.

YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL

You may cancel a contract if we have told you about a pricing error/ error with a description of the goods and you do not wish to proceed; if there is a risk that supply may be significantly delayed (more than 30 days), or you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

If we miss the delivery deadline for any of the goods, you can treat the contract as at an end only if; we have refused to deliver the goods or the delivery time was essential, and you have informed us of this at the time of your order and we accepted your order on that basis.

If we have not refused to deliver the goods, or delivery time was not essential, we will deliver the goods as soon as possible and keep you updated in writing. Alternatively, you can give us a new deadline for re-delivery that must be reasonable and if this is not met, then you may treat the contract as at an end. You can then cancel your order for any of the goods or reject any goods that have been delivered already under the contract.

We will then refund the money you have paid for the cancelled goods and their delivery. Goods already delivered to you must be returned to us at our expense or you must allow us to collect them at our expense.

OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL

We may end the contract at any time in writing to you (including email) if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the goods to you or collect the goods from us, you will then be in the breach of the contract and still liable to pay us up to the price due under the contract.

If your order is accepted and processed and a pricing error that is obvious, unmistakable and could have been recognised by you as being so occurs, we reserve the right to terminate the contract and refund any sum of money you have paid to us.

LIABILITY

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the contract or of our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable, unless due to our negligence. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you placed the order, both we and you knew it might happen, e.g., if you discussed it with us before placing your order.

THIRD PARTIES

The contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

COMPLAINTS
