A. PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS

 

1. Creating the Contract

1.1 You place an order on the website by selecting an item and following the instructions.

1.2 You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input error in your order up until you click the
Submit Order button.

1.3 After you have submitted your order you will receive an order acknowledgement e-mail from us. Please
note that this e-mail is an acknowledgement and not acceptance of your order.

1.4 If you are paying by credit card, we will authorize your debit or credit card payment. If you are paying by
cheque, we will deposit your cheque on the first working day after we receive it.

1.5 Once payment has been authorised, or your cheque has cleared, and we have determined the availability
of stock we will arrange for the delivery of the goods to you. Acceptance of your order and the creation of
a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you a second e-mail which contains the
details of how your goods will be delivered to you.

1.6 We reserve the right to decline all or part of any order for whatsoever reason and should this occur we
will e-mail you with these details.

1.7 It is recommended that you retain all e-mails relating to your order and contract.

1.8 The details of your specific contract are filed by us. Should you want any information regarding your
order you may contact us. (For details see the contact us page of the Website or Part D of these terms and
conditions.)

2. Payment

2.1 If you have chosen to pay by card, once your order is received we will process the payment for your
order by way of the credit or debit card details you have provided. In the event that there is insufficient
stock to satisfy your order you will be informed as soon as possible. A refund will be processed through your
chosen credit or debit card used for the payment of the order.

2.2 If you have chosen to pay by cheque, please send payment in full to the Online office address. We are
unable to accept deposits via this payment method. Once your order is received we will deposit your cheque.
Once the cheque has been cleared for payment, we will begin processing your order. In the event that there
is insufficient stock to satisfy your order you will be informed as soon as possible. A refund will be made by
cheque from us to you.

2.3 If your order contains any item with a lead time of more than 4 weeks and you have opted to pay a 50%
deposit by card, the balance outstanding must be paid in full on the same card before final delivery is made.
As part of the checkout process, you will be requested to confirm that you agree to this. A receipt for the
balance payment will be posted to your billing address. We do not operate a 'cash on delivery' system.

2.4 We will advise you if your payment details cannot be authorized for any reason or if your cheque has
failed to clear. We may then invite you to pay by another method.

2.5 All prices and charges on this website are quoted in UK pounds. The price you pay for your order is that

price which is displayed on the website. Prices include VAT unless otherwise stated but exclude delivery
charges. Delivery charges are calculated as part of the checkout process, based on the proximity of your
delivery address to our nearest distribution centre. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have
ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you an option of reconfirming your order at the
correct price, or cancelling the order. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled and
you will receive a full refund.


3. Security and Clearing

3.1 All credit and debit card payments that are made on our website are protected by a secure connection.
This secure connection ensures that your credit and debit card is encrypted prior to it being transferred to
the bank for authorization.

3.2 As an additional security means, no credit or debit card details submitted online are stored directly by us
once your order has been processed.

3.3 If you have authorised us to obtain a second or final payment of your order on your chosen card, we
will use the same secure connection to request these monies to be transferred to the bank for authorization.
Your CV2 number is not retained by our Secure Payment Provider (SSP).


4. Delivery of goods to you

4.1 We will deliver the goods you have ordered to the address you give us for delivery at the time you
place your order. We can only deliver to addresses within mainland England and Wales for the price of our
Standard Delivery Service charge. For the Scottish Mainland and other off shore locations, including the Isle
of Wight, additional charges will apply. Prices are available on application. For the Channel Islands, Isle of
Man, Scottish Islands, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland where we are able to obtain quotations,
again additional charges will apply. Customers in these areas may prefer to appoint their own carriers.

4.2 We aim to deliver your furniture within the times quoted on our website when you place your order.
Where multiple items have been ordered, we will endeavour to deliver them all together by the longest lead-
time quoted, unless a split delivery is requested. This additional service will be subject to a further carriage
charge. If the circumstances of your order change, we will contact you. If, however, it is delayed due to
circumstances beyond our control, then we cannot accept any liability for consequential loss.

4.3 The delivery times quoted on the website are for delivery to postcodes which fall within our normal
delivery areas of 40 miles radius from a store or distribution centre. Should your postcode fall outside our
normal delivery area, delivery times may vary. We will inform you of this when confirming acceptance of
your order.

4.4 You will become the owner of the goods (and be liable for the loss or destruction of the goods) at the
time of delivery, provided that we have received payment in full for the goods.

contact number for you to call them and arrange a delivery at a future date. Please note that there may be
an additional charge for this.
