Goods, Pricing and Availability
5.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Goods available from Us correspond to the actual Goods that you will receive. Please note, however, the following:
5.1.1 Images of Goods are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions and, in the case of Bespoke Goods, variations resulting from your specific requirements;
5.1.2 You accept that samples may vary slightly from the final product owing to the mixing and manufacturing process.
5.1.3 Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only; the actual packaging may vary.
5.2 Please note that sub-Clause 5.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Goods, not to different ones altogether. Please refer to Clause 12 if you receive incorrect Goods.
5.3 Where appropriate, you may be required to select the required size, brand, colour, number, of the Goods that you are purchasing.
5.4 If you order Bespoke Goods from Us, We will mix them to your specifications and requirements, as detailed in the descriptions accompanying such Goods on Our website. When you place an Order for Bespoke Goods, We will provide details of the information required from you.
5.5 When placing an Order for Bespoke Goods, please ensure that all information that you provide to Us is correct, accurate, and complete. We cannot accept the return of any Bespoke Goods if that return is due to incorrect information provided by you. Please note that this does not affect your statutory rights.
5.6 We cannot guarantee that Goods and/or component materials such as paints (where we mix) to make Bespoke Goods will always be available. Stock indications are not provided on Our website.
5.7 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to certain Goods between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and dispatching the Goods, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address particular technical or security issues. Any such changes will not change any main characteristics of the Goods and will not normally affect your use of those Goods. However, if any change is made that would affect your use of the Goods, suitable information will be provided to you.
5.8 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown are correct at the time of going live. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 5.11 regarding VAT, however).
5.9 All prices are checked by Us before We accept your Order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your Order, we will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your Order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Goods at the correct price or to cancel your Order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your Order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within 21 days, We will treat your Order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
5.10 In the event that the price of Goods you have ordered changes between your Order being placed and Us processing that Order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown at the time of placing your Order.

8.1 All Orders made by you will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

8.3 Any charges incurred by us in restocking will be passed onto you, in addition to this we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee to cover our own administration.
8.4 If you wish to make changes to your order under this Clause 8 you must call us to discuss the changes and, if agreed, we will confirm in writing. If this changes the total price then this must be settled before any Order will be dispatched. Refunds will be dealt with as per clause 8.5.
8.5 You may cancel your Order at any time before We despatch the Goods by contacting Us. If you have already paid for the Goods under Clause 9, the payment will be refunded to you within 10 working days. This does not apply to bespoke Goods (unless you are cancelling under sub-Clause 13.2.5 due to an event outside of Our control). We will only accept an Order cancellation for bespoke Goods if We have not yet begun making or altering the Goods. If you request that your Order be cancelled, you must confirm this cancellation in writing.

8.6.1 The Goods are no longer in stock and We are unable to re-stock (if, for example, the Goods are discontinued); or

9.2 All payments for Goods and/or Services ordered on Our website must be made in advance and before we produce for Order for collection or Services commence.
Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Goods
10.1 By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined (unless We have made you aware of any differences). If any Goods you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect (or incorrectly priced) Goods, please contact Us using the contact details in Clause 2 as soon as reasonably possible to inform Us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement. Please note that if Bespoke Goods are incorrect as a result of your provision of incorrect information, rather than them not matching Our description, as explained in sub-Clause 5.5, you will not be able to return those Bespoke Goods. Otherwise, your available remedies will be as follows:
10.1.1 Beginning on the day that you receive the Goods (and ownership of them) you have a 30 calendar day right to reject them and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above.
10.1.2 If you do not wish to reject the Goods, or if the 30 calendar day rejection period has expired, you may request a repair or replacement. We will bear any associated costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In certain circumstances, where a repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may instead offer you the alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund. If you request a repair or replacement during the 30 calendar day rejection period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired Goods. If less than 7 calendar days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 calendar days.
10.1.3 If, after a repair or replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We cannot do so as previously described, or have failed to act within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you), you may have the right either to keep them at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.
10.1.4 If you exercise the final right to reject the Goods more than six months after you have received them (and ownership of them), We may reduce any refund to reflect the use that you have had out of the Goods.
10.1.5 Within a period of six years after you have received the Goods (and ownership of them), if the Goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to a partial refund. Please be aware that after six months have passed since you received the Goods, the burden of proof will be on you to prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.
10.2 Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Clause 10 if We informed you of the fault(s), damage or other problems with the Goods before you purchased them (and it is because of the same issue that you now wish to return them); if you have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return Goods to Us under this Clause 10 merely because you have changed your mind. Please refer to Clause 11 for more details.
10.3 To return Goods to Us for any reason under this Clause 10, please contact Us using the contact details in Clause 2 to arrange to return.
10.4 Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) under this Clause 10 will be issued within 10 working days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.
10.5 Refunds under this Clause 10 will be made using the same payment method that you used when making your Order.
10.6 For further information on your rights as a consumer, please contact your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards Office.
10.7 If you are a trader and have not purchased the Goods for personal use as a consumer, you do not have the same rights and clauses 10.1.1 to 10.1.5 are expressly excluded. You only have the right to Refund or Replacement of faulty Goods.
Returning Goods If You Change Your Mind
11.1 If you are not satisfied with any (non-bespoke) Goods purchased from Us you have the right to return them in exchange for a refund or a replacement, subject to the provisions of this Clause 11. This Clause 11 does not apply to Goods that are not in compliance with your legal rights. For such Goods please refer to Clause 10.
