You are a consumer if:
• You are an individual.

2. Our Products

2.1

The images of the products on our site and sent to you by us are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computers display of the colours accurately reflect the colours of the products. Your products may vary slightly from those images.

2.2

Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible (and perhaps because some of our products are handmade,) all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated by us have a 2% tolerance. In particular, some of our products are natural products, they are supplied on a total length basis and we cannot give assurances that lengths will be the same across an order.

2.3

The packaging of the products may vary. Some of the products are heavy, and you may need to transport them after delivery manually or otherwise, at your own risk.

2.4

Please note carefully that:
(a) Some of our products are considered bespoke, and are sometimes described as “made to order”, unless otherwise specifically specified. If we have ordered in products specifically for your order then the order will become non-cancellable.
(b) Where a consignment is made to order, we will make efforts to match your requests. It is not always possible to provide an exact match and unless otherwise corrected we will
provide the best match we are able to achieve.
(c) One of our staff may at any stage make the decision that a modification to your order will be necessary in order to deliver a product that will be t for purpose. Although the company will attempt to make any such changes minor, we give no assurances as to how closely the end product will match your specifications.
(d) If you are unsure about any specific detail when placing your order it is your responsibility to confirm and check.
(e) If you do not specify any particular detail when placing you order we will provide the best and/or most cost effective option, at our sole discretion.
(f) We cannot at any stage guarantee that any two doors ordered in the same order will match exactly. For example the painting quality of two items might differ, wood grain and tone will also differ (sometimes substantially) from board to board and other details may also vary from board to board.
(g) Wood is a natural product and we do not attempt to select matching doors within the same species. If you specify a particular timber, we will select doors at random in that timber, unless they are ordered as a pair where we will best match.
(h) Our products are designed to be installed by professionals with training and experience in the products we supply.
(i) If we supply products from a third party manufacturer, such products shall be in accordance with the third party’s manufacturer’s specification.
(j) If you specify Pine, we may supply any species within the Pine family, including mixed sources such as timbers commonly known as Redwood and Whitewood.
(k) Our products are sold only for their common use purpose. Other uses of our products are at your own risk and come without our support, warranty or guarantee in any form.
(l) Where we specify a product is MDF, it may be supplied in either standard MDF or moisture resistant MDF (MR MDF)
(m) If we have not defined a product within these terms and conditions, it is your responsibility to check and confirm their definition with us in writing. This includes items such as Doors, Packing Cases, Pallets, Picture Rail, Dado rail, Window Boards, Door Casings etc.
(n) All products we supply are sensitive to both lack of and excess moisture. It is your responsibility to store and install the products in suitable environmental conditions to preserve their shape and condition.
(o) Wood is a natural product so allow for movement, and treat accordingly. BS5756 allows bowing up to 10mm for lengths over 2 metres. If splits occur as long as they are no longer than 1 metre or 1/4 length of the piece, or at the ends, they are no greater than the width of the board, this is also acceptable following BS5756 guidelines.

11. Your Rights To End The Contract

11.1

Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 14 if you are a consumer and clause 15 if you are a business;
(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 11.2;
(c) If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind
about the product, see clause 11.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see 11.6

11.2

If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.
The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
(c) there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; or
(d) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.

11.3

If you are a consumer then for most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.

21. Other Important Terms

21.1

We may transfer our rights and obligations under a contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these terms.

21.2

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.

21.3

This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the contracts (rights of third parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

21.4

Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

21.5

If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

21.6

Any contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be referred in the first instance to mediation with an independent mediator agreed between the parties. Any mediation or subsequent court action will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

21.7

Save as regards the reference to mediation clause 21.6, we both irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims). 21.4 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representation, warranties or undertakings in relation to the products. Any representation, condition or warranty which might be implied or incorporated into these terms by statute, common law or otherwise is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we will not be responsible for ensuring that the products are suitable for your purposes.

22. Damages

22.1

We request the right to photographic evidence and time to allow us to investigate your claim before we re-dispatch replacement goods.

22.2

We reserve the right to only replace at our discretion the faulty part of the order and will not replace the entire order.
