We endeavour to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on the website. However we cannot guarantee that your monitors display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the product delivered. We strongly recommend you take advantage of our free sampling service to assess colour, texture and handle of fabrics and leathers before placing orders on this website.

PRICES

 

All prices include VAT, where appropriate, at the prevailing rate and are subject to any promotional offer or discount.

Standard delivery prices apply within the UK mainland and Northern Ireland. There is an additional charge for sundry items, for example feet or glides, when ordered separately from a footstool. The prices do vary depending on the items ordered and you should telephone us for details.

The prices displayed on the website in relation to any on-line promotion are valid strictly until midnight on the day on which the promotion expires, as determined by us.

 

PAYMENT

 

You must pay by credit, charge or debit card at the time of order. Contract payments are requested by means of BACS or direct bank payment and in certain circumstances we will also accept payment by cheque. The price of any product is the price in force at the date and time of your order. You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing products which may be offered by us on our website will be correct; that the credit charge or debit card which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of any products. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit charge or debit card details before accepting your order.

Payment will be taken in full at the time of the order. In certain circumstances we will accept part payment whereby a deposit is taken on receipt of order, the balance being paid when the order is despatched.

For Hire items we require 100% non refundable prepayment on order confirmation. This secures the order and allows appropriate stock allocation or a manufacturing programme to facilitate successful fulfilment of our hire commitment. Any damages or losses will be notified to the customer at time of return and charged at the cost of replacement or repair.

The contract shall not have been concluded until we have received your valid credit card charge or debit card payment details and we have accepted your on-line order and sent you confirmation by return e-mail to the address you have given us during the registration procedure and on ordering.

DELIVERY

 

We are only able to deliver to you if you have a permanent address on the UK mainland.

We will endeavour to fulfil your order within seven (7) to fourteen (14) days from receipt of payment although sometimes (due to factory shutdowns, major holidays or suppliers being out of stock on certain items) delivery may take longer. Where we state "next day delivery" this is not guaranteed. Next day delivery orders MUST be received before 10am and are at all times dependent upon material AND carrier availability which may be outside our control. Where we are unable to fulfil next day delivery we will contact customers with an estimate of delivery schedule. In certain parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, delivery times may be longer.

Orders totalling less than 15kg may be dispatched by post or courier.

Any changes made to the content of your order may be made at any time prior to your estimated delivery date by telephoning our helpline. Any such changes may have an impact on your delivery date. We may therefore be unable to deliver your goods on your confirmed delivery date should changes occur and if so, a new delivery date will be given.

If you are unable, for whatever reason, to take delivery of your order on the confirmed delivery date, we reserve the right to charge you for any subsequent deliveries.

We will deliver your furniture Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 6pm to any UK mainland address (including Northern Ireland). Any rejection of a specified delivery date may result in a further delays.

If we accidentally damage goods in the course of delivery our liability for that damage is limited to the repair or replacement of the goods or the value thereof.

Time of delivery is not of the essence in these terms and conditions. We will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable or unavoidable delay in delivery or re-scheduling of delivery.

Our carriers have a duty to deliver goods to the door of the address given to us at the time of order. Any handling thereafter is the responsibility of the customer.
