  3. Our acceptance of your order is confirmed when we dispatch your goods; please note that the contract covers only the goods we dispatch to you. There is no obligation on us to supply any other products that were part of the order until we have possession of those goods and they are available for dispatch.

  • Once your order has been received and stock has been checked for availability we will inform you (either by email or telephone) of any likely delays due to ‘stock shortages’.

Taking Care of Quality Standards.

  • All products are subject to quality checks before they leave the manufacturer and additional visual checks before your order is dispatched. However, it is impossible to guarantee that every defect or damage is seen and isolated. We have a process for dealing with defects or damages that are seen when checking on delivery or before the installation process. NOTE: Please refer to clause 4.6
  • If a defect or damage is discovered when delivery is made and being checked you must notify us immediately and before any installation work is undertaken.
  • Our Delivery Terms & Conditions provides a detailed guide that tells you what to do before delivery and after delivery so that you can help us to help you avoid any complications and if there are any complications how they can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Except in unusual circumstances we expect the refund (if proven to be warranted) to occur within 30 days.

  • Returned products that are claimed by you to be damaged/defective that are found to be perfectly intact and operable will either be returned to you (at your cost) or will be refunded as per the terms set out in clause 6 as long as the claim made falls within the ’14 day cancellation period’
