- General
2.1 These conditions shall apply to all contracts for the sale of Goods by the Seller to the Buyer to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including any terms or conditions which the Buyer may seek to apply under any purchase order, order confirmation conditional sale agreement or similar document.
2.2 All orders for Goods shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods pursuant to these Conditions.
2.3 Acceptance of delivery/fitting of the Goods shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the Buyer’s acceptance of these Conditions.
2.4 Any variation to these Conditions (including any special terms and conditions agreed between the parties including without limitation as to discounts) shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by the Seller.
2.5 Any advice, recommendation or representation given by the Seller or its employees or agents to the Buyer or its employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the Goods or otherwise which is not confirmed in writing by the Seller is followed or acted upon entirely at the Buyer’s own risk, and, accordingly, the Seller shall not be liable for any such advice, recommendation or representation which is not so confirmed.
2.6 Nothing in these Conditions shall affect the statutory rights of any Buyer dealing as a consumer.
- Price and Payment
3.1 The buyer agrees to pay the FULL balance of the goods purchased including the deposit, delivery costs and the total amount of all the weekly payments due. The total weekly amount due multiplied by the total number of weeks specified added to the deposit and the delivery charge is the total amount that is due by the buyer.
3.1.1 The total amount due is stated individually on each product. The amount stated each week is multiplied by the total number of weeks payable. This is then added to the deposit and delivery charge to give a total amount payable. The Buyer agrees to pay the total amount in full (eg £15 per week for 52 weeks would be £780 plus £29.99 deposit plus £40 delivery. Total Due is therefore £849.99. (deposit and delivery may be different and £15 per week is just an example)).
3.2 The Seller reserves the right to grant, refuse, restrict, cancel or alter credit terms at its sole discretion at any time.
3.3 If payment of the Price or any part thereof is not made by the due date, the Seller shall be entitled to:
3.4.1 require payment in advance of delivery/fitting in relation to any Goods not previously delivered;
3.4.2 refuse to make delivery/fitting of any undelivered/fitted Goods whether ordered under the contract or not and without incurring any liability whatsoever to the Buyer for non-delivery/fitting or any delay in delivery/fitting;
3.4.3 appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or Goods supplied under any other contract) as the Seller may think fit;
3.4.4 terminate the contract.
3.5 The buyer agrees to pay the debt in full in the time period stipulated within the agreement and agrees that they are liable for all of the payments due even are receipt of the goods.
3.6 As per clause 9.2, the Buyer allows the Seller to set up a continuous card payment and agrees that payments can be automatically taken from any card associated with their account. Failed payments can be re-applied for at any time.
- Description
4.1 Any description given or applied to the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer hereby affirms that it does not in any way rely on any description when entering into the contract.
- Sample
5.1 Where a sample of the Goods is shown to and inspected by the Buyer, the parties hereto accept that such a sample is so shown and inspected for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to judge for itself the quality and suitability of the product, and not so far as to constitute a sale by sample.
- Delivery
6.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery/fitting of the Goods shall take place at the address specified by the Buyer on the date specified by the Seller. The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery/fitting of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery/fitting.
6.2 The date of delivery/fitting specified by the Seller is an estimate only. Time for delivery/fitting shall not be of the essence of the contract and while every reasonable effort will be made to comply with such dates, compliance is not guaranteed and the Buyer shall have no right to damages or to cancel the order for failure for any cause to meet any delivery/fitting date stated.
6.3 If the Seller is unable to deliver/fit the Goods for reasons beyond its control, then the Seller shall be entitled to place the Goods in storage until such time as delivery may be affected.
6.4 If the Buyer fails to accept delivery/fitting of Goods on the delivery date or fail to notify us that they are unable to accept delivery/fitting of Goods on the delivery date within 24 hours of the delivery/fitting date, the Seller reserves the right to apply a fee to the Buyer and charge them for failed delivery accordingly. (See Fees Table)
6.5 We require a minimum of 8 consecutive weekly payments (some items require more than 8 weeks and this will be detailed on the product page of the item) before the order is passed to the delivery team.
- Acceptance
7.1 The Buyer is required to check Goods upon delivery/fitting and shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods 14 days after delivery/fitting to the Buyer. Accordingly, no claim for defects, damage or quality will be entertained (without prejudice to the Seller’s other rights pursuant to these Conditions) unless written notice together with all supporting evidence is received by the Seller within 14 days of delivery. After acceptance the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject Goods which are not in accordance with the contract.
- Risk and Title
8.1 Risk of damage or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time when the Goods are delivered/fitted at the Buyers premises.
- Payment for the goods
9.1 The buyer accepts and agrees that they owe the full amount for the goods once they are delivered. The full balance as calculated in clause 3.1 is made clear at the outset of the contract.
9.2 The buyer agrees to allow the Seller to take continuous card payments for the balances due on the account. The buyer agrees that payments can be taken from any card associated with the account. Payments will be taken at specified times and if they fail, can be re-applied for at anytime. The buyer allows the Seller to set up continuous card payments and allows the payments to be taken automatically as they fall due. If a payment fails on the specified day, the buyer agrees that the payments can be reattempted at anytime afterwards. The Seller would reattempt a reasonable amount of times over a reasonable period. This would be deemed reasonable over a period of approximately three weeks for any failed payment to continue to be reattempted.
9.3 Failure to pay in full at the times specified within the contract allows the seller to undertake debt recovery processes including taking County Court Action. Any associated debt recovery and/or County Court fees may be added to the total balance due.
- Warranty

10.1.2. the defect being due to faulty design, materials or workmanship;
