3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email or otherwise write to you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the goods. This might be because the goods are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

3.4 If you or your agent(s) provide us with drawings, diagrams or other similar information for a project, or invite us to view a premises or project where our goods may be used, we have no liability to you for ensuring that any goods ordered by us will be sufficient in type or quantity for the project in question. You must, if necessary, take expert advice from another party in this regard.
4. OUR GOODS
4.1 Goods may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the goods on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the characteristics accurately, we cannot guarantee that a product’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the goods. Your product may vary slightly from those images. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our goods are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 5% tolerance.
4.2 Making sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making the product to measurements you have given us, you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct. You can find information and tips on how to measure on our website or by contacting us.
5. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us, (due to the bespoke nature of our products this must be within 2 working days of ordering.) We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
6.1 Minor changes to the goods. We may change the product:
(a) To reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or

If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.

If you do not collect the goods from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from our delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 11.2 will apply.

7.9 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the goods to you. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 11.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the goods late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.12 We may also suspend supply of the goods if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the goods when you are supposed to (see clause 13.4) and you still do not make payment within 5 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the goods until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will not suspend the goods where you (on reasonable grounds) dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 13.6). We will not charge you for the goods during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the goods, we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 13.5).

12.2 Summary of your legal rights. We are under a legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the goods. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights. www.adviceguide.org.uk
SUMMARY OF YOUR KEY LEGAL RIGHTS:
this is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For details information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected life of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:
• Up to 30 days: if your item is faulty, then you can get a refund.
• Up to six months: if your faulty item can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases.
• Up to six years: if the item can be expected to last up to six years you may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that doesn't work, some of your money back.
12.3 Your obligation to return rejected goods. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject goods, you must either return them to us or allow us to collect them from you.
13. PRICE AND PAYMENT
13.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which excludes VAT) will be the price indicated on your order confirmation. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of product advised to you is correct. However, please see clause 13.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
13.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
13.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
13.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with most credit and debit cards, as well as by PayPal. You must pay for the goods before we dispatch them.
14. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
14.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.2 Our total liability to you. Our total liability to you in respect of all losses arising under or in connection with the provision of goods to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed 100% of the price of the Goods actually supplied (excluding VAT).
14.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the goods to you for domestic and private use. If you use the goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
14.4 If you or your agent(s) provide us with drawings, diagrams or other similar information for a project, or invite us to view a premises or project where our goods may be used, we have no liability to you for ensuring that any goods ordered by us will be sufficient in type or quantity for the project in question. You must, if necessary, take expert advice from another party in this regard.
15. HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
15.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:
(a) To supply the goods to you;
(b) To process your payment for the goods; and
(c) If you agreed to this during the order process, to inform you about similar goods that we provide, but you may stop receiving these at any time by contacting us.
15.2 We may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies. Where we extend credit to you for the goods, we may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies and they may keep a record of any search that they do.
15.3 We will only give your personal information to other third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
16. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
16.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
16.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
16.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
16.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
16.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the goods, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
16.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the goods in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
