4.3 In the unlikely event that we are unable to provide the goods, if they are no longer available, or that we have made a pricing mistake, we will advise you of this. You will not receive an e-mail confirming acceptance of your order, and there will be no contract between us.

4.4 Images of products on this website are for illustrative purposes only. Your goods may vary slightly from the image shown on the website and will not include any of the pictured accessories, unless stated in the specification of the goods. Whilst goods may be shown assembled they may require assembly by you. If you are placing a large order, or are trying to match an existing item, we strongly recommend that a sample is requested to save any disappointment.

4.5 We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of our products that appear on this website. However, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the actual goods. If you are placing a large order, or are trying to match an existing item, we strongly recommend that a sample is requested to save any disappointment.

4.6 Whilst we try to be as accurate as possible, all information provided is approximate and is provided in good faith.

4.7 This contract is covered by English law.

4.8 By placing an order with us, you agree to and accept these terms, as well as our privacy policy and the terms of website use.

5. Delivery and Carriage Charges

5.1 Goods will normally be dispatched from our warehouse within 11-15 working days and any estimated dispatch date provided by us is an estimate, which can change without notice.

5.2 We will normally deliver goods within 1-2 working days of dispatch.

5.3 Although every effort will be made to deliver all ordered items in one delivery, your order may arrive in multiple deliveries. If this is not practical, please let us know at the point of order or as early as possible. We will always endeavour to meet our customers’ requirements where practicably possible.

5.4 We can deliver our products anywhere in mainland Great Britain and Republic of Ireland. Unfortunately, we do not deliver to the Channel Islands or the Highlands/Islands of Scotland, however we are able to deliver to a mainland courier company on your behalf for onward shipping.

5.5 We will deliver the goods to the premises you specify on your order. You must be at home to accept delivery of your order, which is normally between 9:00am and 6:30pm Monday-Friday. We will not accept responsibility for loss or damage if you instruct the delivery company to leave the goods unattended or enter any agreement directly with the delivery company or driver. The Seller reserves the right to make delivery of the Goods by instalments. Failure by the Seller to deliver the Goods in a single instalment constitutes no right on the Buyers behalf to repudiate any part of the Contract.

5.6 Most of our products are relatively weighty items and you may be required to assist the driver in offloading your order.

5.7 Disposal of packing materials is your responsibility.

5.8 After any failed delivery attempts (or if you are not at home for an agreed delivery) the goods may be returned to the factory and we reserve the right to charge you an additional re-delivery charge.

5.9 If you change the delivery address once the goods have been dispatched to you, we reserve the right to pass on any extra charges made by our carriers for redirecting your delivery.

5.10 Please check the goods on delivery – any goods found to be missing or damaged should be notified to the delivery driver at the time of delivery or ourselves within 24 hours.

5.11 If the goods are lost or damaged in transit, please let us know promptly.

5.12 Deliveries are made to a ground floor entrance only and on the condition that there is reasonable access for the safe and prompt delivery of the goods. You should tell us about any special delivery requirements or conditions when you place your order.

5.13 Sometimes, for reasons beyond our control we may be prevented from delivering your goods as planned. These might include things such as accidents, breakdowns, fire, flood, storm, severe weather, acts of god, war, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage or the default of our suppliers. We will try to put things right as soon as possible however we can’t be responsible where this causes a delay or failure in delivering your goods.

5.14 Time is not the essence of the contract unless expressly stated otherwise in writing by a Director of the Company.

5.15 Some bulky or heavy items will be a ‘kerb side delivery’ only. In these instances, it will be the buyer’s responsibility to unload and/or move the delivery from where the driver establishes the safest place for them to sensibly leave the delivered goods. The buyer must also be aware that many of the delivery vehicles are large goods vehicles, so the buyer must advise the company prior to delivery if there are any delivery restrictions that could impede the delivery or the goods vehicle making the delivery. This could be a narrow road, or the property being elevated from the main highway to the property. If the delivery driver deems the access to be unsuitable or unsafe to make the delivery the company holds no responsibility of a failed delivery, unless the customers has already advised of the potential issues.

7. Guarantee and Faulty Goods

7.1 If there is a problem with the goods, please notify us by email or in writing providing details of the problem. It’s helpful if you can provide us with a digital photograph of the problem as this normally saves you having to return the goods for inspection. We will deal with the matter in accordance with your legal rights.

7.2 All goods are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty against faulty workmanship and materials, subject to the terms and conditions of that warranty.

7.3 The manufacturer’s warranty is provided in addition to the rights that the law says you have as a consumer and accordingly, your statutory rights are not affected.

7.4 If an exchange is necessary, this will be arranged without unreasonable delay and without charge. Replacement goods will not be dispatched until the original goods have been received at our warehouse and checked.

The cost of returning goods to us is your responsibility, however on inspection we will refund your reasonable postage costs, providing that the goods are found to be faulty. If the goods are not faulty, we will return them to you, however you will be required to cover our reasonable postage costs.

7.13 We are unable to guarantee and exact colour match due to the nature of the product.

7.14 All products are manufactured within tolerances of +/- 1.5mm.

7.15 The manufacturing process and materials used in the production of frame (glazed) doors means that we are unable to guarantee that the vinyl will always be pushed tightly into the internal corner of the frame. This is not a manufacturing fault, and can only be seen from the back of the door. This does not affect the performance or guarantee of the product.
