In these Conditions any reference to writing or written includes emails but not fax.
2. Order Process and Basis of Contract
These Conditions apply to each and every Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. For the avoidance of doubt, no condition of purchase imposed by the Customer shall have any effect in relation to a sale by the Company of Goods unless the Company expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
Each Order (placed by telephone, by fax, by email in writing or by any other means) for Goods shall be subject to these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of the Order and, in the case of bespoke Goods, any applicable Specification.
A quotation for the Goods given by the Company shall not constitute an ofer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 20 Business Days from its date of issue.
All quoted prices (whether provided verbally or in writing) are based on the cost of materials, labour, transport and other relevant items relevant at the date when such prices are quoted.
However, notwithstanding any such quotation, the Company reserves the right to charge Goods at the price relevant at the date of dispatch, unless the quotation validity period of 20 Business Days has not been exhausted at the date of dispatch.
Any queries regarding prices charged on invoices must be made to the Company in writing within 10 Business Days of the date the Goods were purchased, otherwise they cannot be accepted.
The Goods are made to order. Once an Order is made the manufacturing process is deemed to have commenced immediately. As a result once an Order is made these Conditions will be deemed to have been incorporated, a Contract is created and the Customer is required to accept the Goods in accordance with clause 4.
All tenders, quotations and Orders are subject to supplies being available. Where the Company is unable to fulfil an Order as a result of unavailable supplies the Company shall not take payment for the same and shall not be liable to the Customer for any resulting loss (howsoever it arises).
Description of Goods
Technical specifications, advertising, illustrations, samples, descriptions and diagrams of Goods in the Company’s trade literature, catalogue or other published matter (“Advertising Matter”) is indicative only of the approximate and general class, character and colour of the Goods. Advertising Matter is approximate only and shall not form part of the Contract. The Company reserves the right to amend the Advertising Matter at its discretion.
Any clerical error or omission in any Advertising Matter, quotation, invoices or any other documents issued by the Company shall be subject to correction without any liability to the Company.
Unless stated otherwise, the dimensions for sawn dimensions are “nominal”.
To the extent permitted by law, in no event is any condition made or warranty given by the company that the Goods will correspond to sample unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Company for any one Contract.
If the Customer requires Goods to comply with any particular Specification it shall inform the Company of such requirements in the Customer’s Order. The Company reserves the right to amend the Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
To the extent that the Goods are to be manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Customer, the Customer shall indemnify the Company against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Company in connection with any claim made against the Company for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with the Company’s use of the Specification. This clause 3.6 shall survive termination of the Contract.
Delivery and Acceptance of the Goods
The Company shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (“Delivery Location”) at any time after the Company notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready. The Customer shall be responsible for providing safe, proper, prompt and unhindered access to the Delivery Location to the Company at all reasonable times for unloading and shall be liable for any loss or damage, or cost of delay caused by lack thereof. Where the Customer assists with any unloading it shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Goods arising from Customer’s employees acts or omissions.
The Company shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Company with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment. We will make best endeavours to ensure the goods are delivered in time and one piece but from time to time defects occur and we cannot be held responsible for these issues. Do not book tradespeople until you have ensured the goods are in order for installation. We will look to rectify any issues as soon as they arise given the 2 business days timescales as outlined below.
The Company shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of delivery of the Order, all relevant Company reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Goods are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.
Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.
If the Company fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Customer must inspect the Goods on receipt and mark the delivery note to record any alleged damage in transit.
The Customer must within 2 Business Days of receipt of the Goods notify the Company of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with description by written notification to the Company to be sent to the following email address: [email protected]
If the Customer fails to comply with the provisions of clause the Goods shall be presumed to be in accordance with the Contract and free from any defect or damage which would be apparent on a reasonable examination of the Goods and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods.
Notwithstanding the terms of the manufacturer Warranty, after acceptance of the Goods the Customer may not reject the Goods and payment for the same will be payable in accordance with these Conditions.
If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within 3 Business Days of the Company notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:
- Delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the fourth Business Day after the day on which the Company notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
- The Company shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).
Quality and the manufacturer Warranty
The Manufacturer provides the manufacturer Warranty for all Goods purchased pursuant to these Conditions. Please see the Warranty Pack for further details.

The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery of the Goods.
Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that the Company has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.
Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
- Store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property;

If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in Termination clause, then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have:
The Customer’s right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and The Company may at any time:
- require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and
- if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

Unless stated in the Order to be a fixed price, the Company upon written notice to the Customer may increase the price at any time before the date of delivery if the cost of materials or labour or overheads relating to the production of the Goods has risen since the date of the Order.
The price for the Goods is exclusive of VAT and all charges in relation to storage, carriage, handling and off-loading. All other taxes, customs duties, duties and expenses shall be the responsibility of the Customer.

If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Company under the Contract by the Due Date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the Due Date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-of, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). The Company may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set of any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by the Company to the Customer. Where any sums are due to the Company from the Customer, the Company is entitled to suspend all services to the Customer until full payment has been received.
If the Company has to instruct solicitors or other agents to recover money owed by the Customer to the Company then the Customer will indemnify irrevocably, in full and on demand the Company against all fees, expenses and costs payable by the Company to its solicitors or agents.
Where a dispute arises in respect of part only of an invoice, the part(s) of such invoice, which are not be in dispute, shall be paid by the Customer to the Company in accordance with these Conditions.
Credit terms (if any) that are agreed between the Company and the Customer shall govern only the Customer’s contractual obligation to make payments to the Company for the price of the Goods.
