MEASUREMENTS. If you are providing your own measurements, ensure they are correct and accurate as we cannot accept the return of made-to-measure goods on the basis that the measurements were incorrectly supplied by you.
INSTALLATION. The price for installation was agreed on the assumptions that; there is going to be one continuous site visit, there is unobstructed access to outside your property for vehicle parking, the area where the goods are to be fitted is unobstructed, surfaces and grounds the goods are to be fixed to are in a good condition allowing us to
easily obtain good fixings and with no objects in the immediate working area, there is no asbestos that we would be likely to come into contact with, and that no items under warranties/guarantees will be invalidated by the installation.
We may make a further reasonable charge for the additional time, costs or materials if these conditions are not met. We are not responsible for any loss or damage to your property that is not foreseeable, unless due to our negligence, or for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults to your property, or for any damage discovered whilst undertaking the installation. We will not be responsible for carrying out any building work, moving any furniture, clearing access or invalidation of any warranties you do not tell us about in writing before you make your order.
ACCESS. If we have agreed to install the goods for you and you do not allow us access to premises without having a good reason for this, we may charge you additional reasonable costs incurred to us as a result of this. If despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to contact you or to re- arrange access to the premises, we may end the
contract and you will be liable to pay us a sum up to
the price due under the contract.
PRICE. The price for goods/services is set out in full in the quote / invoice and includes VAT. Payments are to be paid as indicated in the quote / invoice. Fitting is charged separately and is indicated on the quote / invoice

FURTHER CHARGES. If you ordered installation services from us, further charges may apply in case additional and unforeseen circumstances arise. These will always be notified to you in writing.
DELIVERY.

The goods will not leave the premises until payment has been received in full. If you do not collect the goods from us within a reasonable time, we may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If despite our reasonable efforts we are unable to contact you to re-deliver or arrange collection within a reasonable time, we may end the contract and you will still be liable to pay us up to the price due under the contract.
DELAY OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL. If delivery/ installation is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible and take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for any delays caused by the event, as long as the goods are still supplied within a reasonable length of time.
YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL.
a) You may cancel a contract if we have told you about a pricing error/error with a description of the goods and you do not wish to proceed.
OUR RIGHT TO CANCEL.
a) We may end the contract at any time in writing to you (including email) if payment due to us was still not made within 7 days of us reminding you it is due, or if you do not, within a reasonable time; allow us to deliver the goods to you, collect the goods from us, or allow us to install the goods (if this was agreed). You will then be in the breach of the contract and still liable to pay us the price due under the contract.
b) If your order is accepted and processed and a pricing error that is obvious, unmistakable and could have been recognised by you as being so occurs, we reserve the right to terminate the contract and refund any sum of money you have paid to us.
LIABILITY. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking the contract or of our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable, unless due to our negligence. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you placed the order, both we and you knew it might happen, e.g. if you discussed it with us before placing your order.
THIRD PARTIES. The contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
COMPLAINTS. You should inspect the goods and any installation work as soon as conveniently possible and contact us if you believe there is a problem.

to resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you may refer the complaint to the British Blind and Shutter Association’s Mediation Service if you are seeking rectification only, or alternatively pursue through Alternative Dispute Resolution provider the BBSA or through Small Claims Court.
OWNERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR GOODS. The goods supplied/installed by us will become your property once we have received payment for them in full. The goods become your responsibility from the time; they were delivered to the address you gave us, you collected the goods from us, or the time we pass the goods to any third party organised by you.
LEGALITY. English law governs the contract although you can bring proceedings in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland if you live in those countries.
