5.  Description of Goods

5.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, all sizes, measurements, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications, illustrations and advertising issued by Us on the Website are an approximation and are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described.

5.2.  The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown in images on Our Website.

5.3.  Marketing materials and images on Our Website or emailed to You may not be a true reflection of Our Product(s), Certain parts of Goods (such as elasticated securing shock cord, or clips) may vary from that shown in images on Our Website.

 

6.  Description relating Specifically to Custom Covers and Custom Goods

6.1.  You should follow Our instructions about how to measure Your item – This means following any instructions shown on Our Website, or where We may communicate (oral or in writing) to You. As standard (and unless We state otherwise) We expect You to measure Your items Exact measurements and We will ‘Allow for Fit’. If You do not follow Our instructions or if Your item differs in any way to Your Confirmation Paperwork then it is expected that Our ‘Allow for Fit’ or any tolerances made within the manufacture of the Custom Cover will likely result in a bad fit or not the desirable fit.

6.2.  A person’s version of ‘Good fit’ can be subjective. To avoid doubt, Our version of ‘Good fit’ is where a Cover is slightly bigger than the item (in both length and width) and the cover should not be too tight or too baggy, and there should be a gap at the ground.

6.3.  If the item being covered has various different heights and protruding parts, You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee a ‘Good fit’. In some circumstances We may advise knocking an amount from the height to allow for extra fall which will occur around the item.

 

7.  Tolerances and measurements relating to Custom Covers

7.1.  For most Custom covers Our ‘Allow for Fit’ means we would aim for the cover to finish in size between approximately 2cm-3cm bigger on the length and depth (also referred to as width), and we would aim for the height of the cover to be approximately 2cm less than Your item’s height. We make the covers height less because in most cases naturally a cover will drop further around all sides of the item (as it is good to have certain seams landing over the edge of an item) , and it is best to have a slight gap at the ground. We aim for the gap at the ground to be between 5mm-30mm (unless we state otherwise).

7.2.  For most Custom covers Our ‘Make to Size’ means we would aim for the cover to finish in size to within 25mm of Your specified measurements.

7.3.  If there is a contradiction within Your measurements supplied to Us then We would either: Ask You to double check measurements and remeasure Or We would ignore the contradicting measurement (assuming other measurements add up).

7.4.  We do not work from any angle measurements (of degrees) supplied.

7.5.  We strongly advise You never rely on manufacturer or third party measurements or schematics (as we have seen instances where manufacturers or companies have had inaccurate measurements for Your item being covered, and they will not take any liability if You use them). If You are unsure on how or where to measure then please get in touch with Us.

7.6.  You are responsible for ensuring measurements that You supply are correct and accurate. We are not liable for incorrect measurements being supplied to Us whether they are supplied by You or an appointed third party on behalf of You.

7.7.  Measurements of a Cover should be taken from the physical stitch seam to the opposite stitch seam, or when measuring height it is from the top stitch seam in a straight line down to the very bottom of the cover. The cover must be held taught when measuring.

 

8.  Confirmation Process

8.1.  All Custom Goods Orders are subject to a Confirmation Process. It is Your responsibility to ensure that You have supplied us with the correct contact details to send any communication from Us to You. We are not responsible for any IT or technical errors causing a delay in the Confirmation Process.
8.2.  If there is a delay during the Confirmation Process then it is reasonable to expect that a delay will be put on Your Order. If We send You communication such as requesting measurements We do expect a response from You within a reasonable time frame (within 5 working days from the date of our communication unless we state otherwise). In the event that there is a lack of communication or delay caused by You or caused inadvertently by You then We reserve the right to either or both of the following to happen:
8.2.1  We will change Your estimated delivery due date, and in some instances such as where we have had to change the delivery due date multiple times due to lack of communication back from You or where You are unable to supply Us with the information necessary within the correct time frame then We may move Your allocated manufacture slot to the back of the queue.

8.2.1  We will Write to You (by email and post) to inform You that We require communication from You and there is risk of a breach of contract which would result in the Order being cancelled. In accordance with Our Conditions and in line with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 You will not be entitled to a refund if the Order is Cancelled due to a breach of the Contract.

8.3.  We are only able to give an accurate Lead time or delivery ‘due by’ date at the time of You placing an Order and making payment or deposit for an Order. Any lead time given within a Quotation can only be a guide, this is because we manage our lead times based upon the orders being booked into our workshop.

8.4.  When an Order is placed (and payment or deposit is made from You to Us) then We allocate a slot for Your Order being manufactured in Our workshop (and it is possible for this slot to move forwards or backwards depending on factors such as Condition 8.2 and Condition 10.2).

8.5.  When an Order is placed We will supply You with a ‘due by’ date which is an estimate of the latest date for delivery of your Custom Order. It is possible (and in most cases likely) that We will complete or/and deliver Your Order to You before this date. It is also possible for the ‘due by’ date to not be met or to be changed, as per in accordance with Condition 8.2 and Condition 10.2.

8.6.  If during the Confirmation Process there is an issue to do with measurements being supplied such as a contradiction in measurements or where We deem it important to cross reference or double check something then in some circumstances this may cause a delay on Your Order. This is why we aim to have Confirmation paperwork complete early. Please note there are some custom covers and Custom Goods whereby We will only spot a contradiction in measurements or issue with confirmation during the physical manufacture of the Goods – If this is the case then We will contact You immediately to resolve the issue, However it is reasonable to expect this may result in a delay of Your Order.

13.4.  If You qualify for a refund then You will not receive a refund in full or refund of the delivery if the following applies: If the Goods were part of a special offer involving other Goods or if You received any discount due to exceeding a certain spending limit or due to buying multiple Goods, in which case We would require the full Order and all Goods (which contribute towards the discount or special offer) in order to issue the full refund. If You return only part of an order then We would not refund the delivery cost, and if the Goods were part of a special offer or included any discount then We reserve the right to issue the refund after recalculating the new cost which should have been charged without the returned Goods.

13.5.  If You return Goods which show signs of use, or where packaging is not intact, or where improper storage (or folding) of the Goods has resulted in diminishing the Goods value, then We reserve the right to deduct monies from your refund up to the total price of the Goods.

13.6.  If the Goods You are returning are either damaged by You or damaged during transport back to us then upon inspection of the Goods We reserve the right to reject the return and You will incur the cost of re-delivery to Your address and no refund will be processed.

 

14.  The Process of returning faulty or defective Goods (within it’s warranty period)

14.1.  Please refer to Condition 12 regarding possible warranty. Subject to all other conditions, You will not be entitled to claim on a warranty if You report any defect or fault outside of the set warranty period.

14.2.  If You believe Your Goods have a fault or defect then You must notify Us immediately in Writing (or within 7 days of when You discover or ought to have discovered) and please read through the Conditions outlined within Condition 12. Please note if the fault or defect is caused by You or if the warranty does not apply for any reason, then please make this known to Us and We would still help You if We can. As standard where possible We do expect that You should remove the Goods (or cover) from use, and safely store it (indoors); This is to avoid further damage being caused.

14.3.  Assuming there is no breach of contract and subject to Condition 12.5, if there is a valid claim on warranty, then the following will apply : We shall as our sole option repair or replace any Goods and/or re-perform the Services, or any parts thereof, which We accept as being incomplete or defective. In addition to this: Where Goods are repaired or replaced and/or Services re-performed, such Goods and/or Services will be considered as having been delivered at the same time as the original Goods/Services (as the case may be). This means that any possible warranty is not applicable on an altered, repaired, or replacement product.

14.4.  After You have given Us Written notice of the fault or defect, We will require further information from You and We will put in Writing to You what we require.

14.5.  If You have a defect or fault with a Custom cover then we will request the following things from You:

14.5.1.  Photographic evidence of the fault or defect (including close-up)

14.5.2.  A photo showing the Custom cover in use (on your item) and this photo must be taken standing back so we can see all of the cover and around the cover. In some instances we may require more than one photo.

14.5.3.  A photo showing the item which is beneath the Custom cover.

14.5.4.  We may request that You measure Your item, and that You also measure Your Cover (seam-to-seam).

14.5.5.  Proof of purchase (this can include an invoice or Your Final Confirmation Paperwork).

14.5.6.  Information about the fault or defect.

14.6.  If You have a defect or fault with a Custom Cover then You must allow us a reasonable amount of time to investigate the issue, and You must reply to our communications with You. We aim to sort any issue within a reasonable period of time, and We will try to make the process easy for You, However when dealing with a Custom Cover it is very important to investigate the cause of the issue as We would not want a repeat of the issue.

14.7.  Assuming all conditions and after all conditions relating to Condition 14.5 are met, then We shall advise whether We require the Goods to be sent back to Us for further inspection. If We require the Goods to be sent back to Us for further inspection or for an alteration or repair then You are responsible for adequately packaging the Goods appropriately (and as per our instructions).

14.8.  If we request the cover back to us You must ensure that it is very clean (clean enough to be in your living room). This is because our workshop is a very clean environment and We can not have items within which could contaminate our workshop or risk contamination or damage of machinery. If You do not send a cover back clean then either :

14.8.1.  We reserve the right to return the cover back to You without inspecting it, in which case You will incur the cost of delivery of the cover back to You, and You will be liable for any cost already incurred by Us. We would not be able to move forward with any investigations,repair-work, or Your return until You properly clean and resend Your cover back to Us. Alternatively,

14.8.2.  Please expect a delay (up to 14 working days added to the nominated time period given to you for the investigation/and/or repair work) and You will incur a cost of between £35-£95+VAT for Us to clean the cover before we may carry out any investigation or/and alteration/repair.

14.9.  Please note if we ask for a product(s) to be returned to us for inspection, repair or replacement then this cost must be covered by yourself.

14.10.  If after investigations it is found that either: there is no fault or defect: or if the defect or fault is not to do with a manufacturing issue: or if the Goods have been misused or not fit for purpose: or if it is found the warranty does not apply (see Condition 12): or if there has been a breach of contract then:

14.10.1.  You will incur a cost from Us to cover the cost we incurred for delivery, and You may incur a cost from Us for the labour and time spent during investigations. You will also incur a cost from Us to cover the cost of packaging and redelivery of the Goods back to You.

14.10.2.  We may be able to help You, this is dependant upon the circumstances and resolution manner, but it is reasonable to expect that We would need to charge You appropriately (and in line with our prices and reflection on labour rates and downtime within the workshop) for any type of alteration, modification or repair work. In some circumstances we may find it not feasible to carry out an alteration. We do reserve the right to refuse to offer a repair, and in some circumstances it may not be feasible or practical to carry out an alteration in which case please see Condition 14.10.1

14.11.  In the event of a valid claim, We will endeavour to sort the issue within a sensible time frame, but if there is a lack of communication or delay (not caused by Us) that lasts for longer than 3 months from the date of the report then We shall assume that you no longer wish to proceed with the claim, and the cover will be void from warranty.

 

15.  Ownership and Responsibility For the Goods

15.1.  You own the goods once We have received payment in full (if there is also service carried out alongside the supply of the Goods, then this is also expected to be paid in full for You to own the Goods).

15.2.  The Goods will be Your responsibility from the time we deliver the Goods to Your Delivery Address or You collect from Us.

15.3.  If Goods have been paid for and made, and in the event that delivery or collection has not happened (due to no fault of ours) and if there is a lack of communication for a period of longer than 6 months, and subject to our warnings to You, then the Goods will be deemed as no longer Yours. We may offer to hold onto the Goods (in which case a storage fee may apply) or We may take ownership of the Goods (which may result in disposal, as often Custom Goods are not resaleable).

 

16.  Price and Payment

16.1.  The price of the Goods will be the price indicated on Our Website, or within the Instant Computerised Quotation or Quotation when You placed Your Order. We use Our best efforts to ensure that the price of goods advised to You is correct. However, please see condition 16.2 For what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Goods in Your Order.

16.2.  It is always a possibility that, despite Our best efforts some of the Goods We sell may be incorrectly priced. As standard we will usually check price before accepting Your order, but if there is a pricing error we will contact You for Your instructions before We accept and Process Your Order. If We accept and process Your Order where a pricing error is obvious 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 Goods provided to You.

16.3.  All prices, fees, charges, disbursements, expenses and other sums payable are in pounds sterling (£) and are inclusive of Value Added Tax unless stated otherwise.

16.4.  No warranty or any issues relating to a breach of contract can be valid if there are any payments outstanding.

16.5.  You undertake that all details You provide to Us for the purpose of purchasing any Goods or Services are correct, and that the debit or credit card You use is Your own, and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of the Goods, and that You are over the age of 18 years. We reserve the right to request and obtain validation and verification of the authenticity of Your credit or debit card details before processing Your Order.

16.6.  It is reasonable to expect that Our Prices for Custom Goods can and will change over time and can be dependent and influenced by many factors.

16.7.  Instant Computerised Quotations which are converted into Instant Orders require payment in full at the time of placing Your Order. Due to the nature of the Custom Order and Our obligation to try to ensure we are providing You with Goods fit for purpose please see Condition 4.3

 

17.  Sizes, Samples and Specification of Good(s)

17.1.  Any samples sent to You from Us should be Used by You for reference purposes only. If Your sample does not have a label or name written on it then You should not assume what it is, and if there is any confusion then please contact us. We update Our samples regularly, but it is possible that a sample may not necessarily be from the same batch of textile Your cover would be made from (this is not usually significant as the specified textile would still be as specified and You should take note to Condition 17.2).

17.2.  Whilst We endeavour and make reasonable efforts to ensure We keep our textiles consistent in colour and quality, due to the nature of manufacturing Custom goods there is a risk that when we buy in a certain specific textile (even when bought from the same supplier) there may be a possibility of inconsistency on the next batch of textile. We make precautions to try to alleviate this risk, and when this risk can happen it is usually not massively noticeable to the human eye.

17.3.  Any name or physical description of colour is and can be subjective. Some of the imagery showing our covers and colours on our website should not be used as a true reflection of our physical textiles. Therefore if You wish to see the approximate true colour or look of a textile then we advise You request to see a sample of that specific textile and colour.

17.4.  We aim to keep our choice of PVC-ST colours consistent (this is still subject to condition 17.2) But this means if we label a colour as for example ‘light grey’ this is purely the label for the colour so could be subjective (Hence see condition 17.3), and if we were to add another shade of light grey then we would label the new one differently. If there is doubt about a colour of textile or if You are trying to match a historic order then we strongly suggest contacting Us about it so we may check Your records or/and send You a sample of Our current up-to-date colours.

17.5.  Certain textiles such as Polyester is very limited in its colour choices, we do advise that the colour label is a physical description of the type of shade of colour.

17.6.  If You wish to match a specific shade of colour this should be discussed prior to Order.

17.7.  If You require Us to copy or make something based upon a pre-existing cover, then please note We are limited to the materials, textiles and manufacturing methods we have available to us. Therefore we are unable to guarantee to copy anything completely.

17.8.  Due to the nature of manufacturing it is possible for our methods or processes of manufacture to change over time. Therefore We cannot guarantee that all Goods (including Standard Goods) manufactured by us will be identical or completely consistent.

17.9.  All sizes and measurements we give are subject to a tolerance of within 30mm.

17.10.  Due to the nature of the Goods, We shall not under any circumstances be liable to You for any inherent tendency of all fabrics to shade under the effect of sunlight or to lose colour by soiling.

17.11.  Whilst all reasonable efforts are made to use materials and textiles best suited to Your requirements, We shall not be liable to You for the life of the materials and textiles supplied, the colour fastness of the fabrics, or for any biological or atmospheric degradation of the Goods.
