5. Delivery

5.1 The Business shall ensure that:

5.1.1 each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), and, if the Goods are being delivered by installments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered;

5.2 The Business 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 Business notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready.

5.3 Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.

5.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Business 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 Business with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

5.5 If the Business fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Business shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Business with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

5.6 If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within five Business Days of the Business notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Business’ failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

5.6.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the fifth Business Day after the day on which the Business notified the Customer that the Goods were ready;

5.8 If the Business delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the number of Goods ordered the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, a pro-rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice.

5.9 The Business may deliver the Goods by installments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an installment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other installment.

6. Cancellation

6.1 In all instances, you have a right to cancel your order within 3 working days of the Order confirmation for all standard blind Orders.

6.2 IMPORTANT – If the Goods are made to measure by the Business for you (whether this is as a result of specific measurements you have given the Business or the Business has taken measurements at the Delivery location), then you do not have the right to cancel the contract and you will not be refunded your deposit. This does not affect your legal rights as a consumer if the Goods are not of quality or not as described.

6.3 If the Contract includes installation, unless you are entitled to cancel the Contract pursuant to Clause 6.1, you may not cancel or terminate the Contract if, for any reason, you should decide that you will not allow us to Install any safety device that accompanies the Goods which means that, as a result, we cannot Install the Goods pursuant to Clause 3.1 above. In the circumstances, you will still be liable to pay us the full Price due under the Contract (but this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to any Goods that are faulty or not as described).

6.4 We reserve the right to cancel your order if we have insufficient stock of the fabric or products required to manufacture and/or supply the goods you have ordered or if any of the Goods were listed incorrectly due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information made by us and/or received by us from our supplier.

6.5 If we do cancel your order, we will notify you as soon as possible and will credit you any payment already made to us relating to your order. We will not be able to offer you any compensation for the disappointment you may suffer.

7. Installation

7.1 If your Order includes installation, we have to make certain assumptions when we quote you a price. These include but are not limited to:

7.1.1 access to you your property is unobstructed and parking for a small van

7.1.2 the area around where the Goods are to be fitted is unobstructed and of standard construction with no cables or pipes under the surface in the relevant area

7.1.3 the walls or wood in to which we need to attach hanging apparatus are in a condition that

allows us to easily obtain good fixings for the tracks, poles and battens;

7.1.4 you have removed all ornaments, appliances and other objects in the immediate working

area; and

7.1.5 none of the areas or items in which we are Installing the Goods have any warranties or guarantees that will be invalidated by the Installation.

7.2 if these assumptions are not met in your circumstances, or if you have reason to doubt that they are, for example of you live in a very old property, there are hidden pipes, conduits or cables or if you have parking or access problems, then you must let us know at the point of order. If you do not we may need to make an additional charge for additional time, costs or materials required to complete the Installation for you as a result of these assumptions not being met which will be added to the Price, and any warranties you may have on third party products may be invalidated.

7.3 for the avoidance of doubt we will not be responsible for carrying out any building work, for moving any furniture to clear access to the immediate working area, or for the invalidation of any warranties you do not tell us about in writing.

7.4 Safety Devices. We have to comply with the Regulations. The Regulations have been introduced to help to prevent accidental death by way of strangulation to young children caused by them becoming entangled in blind cords. We take our obligations under the Regulations extremely seriously. These provide that safety devices supplied with Goods must be fitted by us at the time of Installation otherwise we may be negligent and be in breach of the Regulations.

Therefore, if the Goods contain any safety device, we will fit this device and ensure that we have complied with the Regulations. In the event that you should instruct us that you do not wish to have such safety device fitted, then we will refuse to install the Goods. In such an instance, you will still be liable to pay us the Price under the Contract.

7.5 you agree that you will not treat our refusal to Install the Goods for the reasons set out in Clause 8.4 above as a fundamental or any breach of the Contract and that you will still be bound under the Contract to take delivery of the Goods and to pay for the same.

7.6 for the avoidance of doubt we see clauses 8.4 and 8.5 to be reasonable in all the circumstances given our obligations under the Regulations. This will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to any Goods that are not faulty or not as described.

7.7 Upon completion of the installation, you are required to sign a form to confirm the installation has been completed to your satisfaction.

8. Warranty

8.1 We warrant that all Blinds sold to you will be free from material defects for a period of 12 calendar months from delivery of the Goods to you.

8.2 We warrant that all Shutters sold to you will be free from material defects for a period of 3 years from delivery of the Goods to you.

8.3 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described in addition to the above warranty. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

8.4 the warranty given in Clause 8.1 and 8.2 above do not apply to any defects in the Goods arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, abnormal storage, negligence by you or any third party, failure to use the Goods in accordance with the instructions, any unauthorized alterations or repairs or any specification provided by you.

8.5 if the Goods are defective on delivery or a defect arises within the following 12 months (for Blinds) or 3 years (for Shutters), please contact us to provide us with details of the defects and we will discuss with you how the Goods should be returned to us.

8.7.2 the fittings you require or request do not support the weight of the Goods; or

8.7.3 someone who is not one of our staff or explicitly accredited by us has removed or refitted

the Goods.

8.8 before commencing Installations we use our knowledge of good building practice to decide if we should fit into a particular area. It is up to you to tell us if you know of any cables or pipes hidden in the wall, and we will not be held responsible for striking such fittings.

8.9 we shall not be liable to you nor be deemed to be in breach of contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the Contract, or for any damage or defect to goods delivered, that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control including, without limitation, third party defaults, strikes, lockouts and other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, flood, fire, explosion, accident, breakdown of manufacturing or other equipment or unavailability of raw materials.
