It is your responsibility to check yourself (where you are fitting the kitchen) or with your kitchen fitter (where you are having it professionally installed) that the design is appropriate to be fitted in the space before placing your order and before any Product installation. We will amend the design as requested (2 tweaks and 1 major) where you inform us that amendments to the design are required.

  • We will provide you with the technical drawings which accompany your design to enable the kitchen fitting to take place. The technical drawings will be in accordance with the Specification and based on the layout shown in the kitchen design provided.

  • Incorrect pricing – It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the Contract, refund you any sums you have paid, and require the return of any Products provided to you.

  • We accept payment by way of:

    • bank transfer to a nominated bank account, the details of which are set out in our invoice requesting payment; or

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

  • If you think our pricing is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly priced sums from the original due date

 

Section 10: Your rights to change your mind and end the Contract

 

  • Your rights to end the Contract will depend on whether there is anything wrong with the Products, how we are performing the Contract and when you decide to end the Contract.

  • Your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013) – You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the Products set out in our Order Confirmation to change your mind and cancel your order, unless the Products are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery of the Products set out in our Order Confirmation to change your mind about the Products. If you install or damage any of the Products at any time within this 14 day period, you will lose this right to change your mind and cancel your order.

In these circumstances, if you want to end a Contract before it is completed, just contact us to let us know. The Contract will end immediately, and we will discuss and agree with you the amount of compensation you may have to pay us.

Summary of your key legal rights

 

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods (Products in the content of these Terms) must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your Products your legal rights entitle you to the following:

a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.

b) Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

  • When the contract is ended, any ancillary contract (such as a warranty or credit agreement) is automatically cancelled

We will pay the costs of collection and return and we aim to collect cancelled or rejected Products within 14 days.

  • Refunds and deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind – If you are exercising your right to change your mind we may reduce your refund of the price to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Products and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.

  • If you change your mind after 14 days, we can still take returns but there will be a small handling charge to you. It’s a fee that comes from our suppliers, not us, when that 2 week return period has passed.

  • Please note that ‘special’ orders (also known as ‘Made To Order’ products) cannot be returned and therefore refunds will not be available. These Products are considered Bespoke goods under Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 and as such are exempt from the usual cancellation rights.
