If we have to do this, we will let you know as soon as possible and will refund you, as soon as we can, any amounts paid by you.
4. THE GOODS
4.1 The true colour of our Goods may not exactly match that shown on our website, in our catalogues and other marketing, and packaging may be slightly different. In respect of Goods that are handmade, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our website/ catalogues can be out by 2%.

4.5 We may, for whatever, withdraw Goods for sale which are included in your Order. If we do this, we will let you know and you will not be required to pay for such Goods (and we will refund you for any Goods we withdraw which you have already paid for).
5. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION
5.1 If you wish to make a change to the Goods in your Order, please contact us and we will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price and the timing of supply, or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. Any agreed change will only be valid if agreed in writing.
5.2 If you wishes to cancel or change your Order and the Goods are already loaded on to our delivery vehicle, we reserve to charge you a “restocking fee” being an amount equal to 20% of the value of your Order. If the restocking fee is to apply, we will tell you this:
5.2.1 if you are just changing your Order, when telling you of any changes to the price of your Order under clause 5.1; or
5.2.2 if you are cancelling your Order, at the point at which you tell us you wish to cancel your Order.

We well refund you the price paid for the Goods you return.

5.6 Note that if you return any Goods under clause 5.3, you will not be due a refund of any delivery charges (the refund under clause 5.5 being in respect of the price of the returned Goods only).
6. PRICE AND PAYMENT
6.1 The price payable by you to us for the Goods ordered will (depending on how you placed your order) be as:
6.1.1 told to you over the phone;
6.1.2 confirmed in email correspondence;
6.1.3 displayed at our premises; or
6.1.4 as shown on our website.
6.2 We take reasonable care to ensure that the price of Goods, as indicated, is correct. It is always possible that, despite our efforts, some of the Goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. If we discover the price of the Goods you have ordered is incorrect we will:
6.2.1 if the actual price is lower than the price stated, charge you only the lower price (and if you have already paid, refund you the difference); or
6.2.2 if the actual price is higher, contact you to tell you and you can either pay the difference, or cancel your Order (in which case we’ll refund you any amounts you have already paid).
6.3 All prices are inclusive of VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date on which the Contract comes into existence and the date we supply the Goods, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for your Goods (including delivery costs) in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
6.4 If you hold a Credit Account, we will invoice you the price of your Goods as soon as possible following delivery of your Goods. Payment of our invoices is due by the end of the month following the month in which delivery was completed. For example, if we deliver the Goods on 20 June, payment of our invoice will be due by 31 July.
6.5 If you do not make payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 5% a year above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the date due until the actual date of payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
6.6 If you do not make payment to us by the due date, in addition to charge you interest, we may also suspend the supply of Goods under any order you have placed with us until such time as you have made all payments due to us.
6.7 If you think an invoice 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 invoiced sums from the original due date.
7. DELIVERY
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed with you in writing, we will deliver the Goods do the Delivery Location during the delivery window as told to you when you placed your order, or as shown on our website at the time you placed your order. If we become aware that we will not be able to meet that delivery window, we will contact you and let you know.
7.2 Sometimes we will refer to delivery periods in terms of “working days”. For these purposes a working day is a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
7.3 Other than as set out in clause 7.3, we will deliver your Goods to the kerbside only at the Delivery Location. We will not move the Goods to any other location.
7.4 We may, at our discretion, agree to deliver your Goods to a particular area at the Delivery Location (i.e., to somewhere other than kerbside). We will only do this if we agree this with you before we deliver the Goods. Further, as we are not experts in assessing whether a particular area is suitable for delivery of the Goods, you are responsible for ensuring that, access to and, the area to which we deliver the Goods is suitable for such delivery. We will not be liable to you (other than for death or personal injury) for any damage we cause in delivering your Goods to a location other than kerbside. Such damage could include damage caused by our delivery vehicles:
7.4.1 to surfaces not built for vehicles such weight (e.g., drive ways) and pipework/ drainage located under them;
7.4.2 to plants (e.g., if we have to drive down a narrow access lane); or
7.4.3 at the area of unloading (e.g., to patios, pavements, turfed surfaces etc.).
7.5 There must be a suitable place for us to deliver the Goods. We may refuse to deliver the Goods if we believe that the off-loading of the Goods could cause damage to any member of the public or public/ third party property, or would result in a highway or pavement being illegally obstructed. In this respect, we rely on our drivers to make an appropriate decision.
7.6 If we are unable to complete delivery because you are at fault (e.g., not available at the Delivery Location to take delivery), we will contact you to re-arrange delivery. We will charge you £10 for such re-delivery.
7.7 If we are unable to complete delivery because you are at fault (e.g., because the Delivery Location is not suitable or because you are unwilling to accept delivery of the Goods) then the contract will be treated as cancelled and we will refund you the price of the Goods, but we shall deduct from that refund a failed delivery surcharge of £10.

12. CHANGING YOUR MIND
12.1 If you have the right to change your mind under clause 11.2, you have 14 Calendar Days from the date of delivery of the Goods to tell us you have changed your mind.

13. REFUNDS
13.1 We can reduce the amount of any refund to account for any use, or handling by you, of the Goods. For example, we will reduce your refund if the Goods’ condition is not “as new”, is damaged or parts/accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the Goods, no refund may be due.
13.2 We will refund you (if any refund is due) within 14 Calendar Days of collecting the Goods. We will refund you by the method you used for payment and we do not charge a fee for the refund.

(B) We are responsible for losses you suffer caused by us breaking the Contract, unless the loss is:
(a) unexpected, i.e., it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted your Order meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was unforeseeable);
(b) caused by a delaying event outside our control, as long as we have taken the steps set out in the clause 9.1;
(c) avoidable. i.e., something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action (e.g., by following our instructions in connection with the use of the Goods); or
(d) a business loss, i.e., a loss you suffer in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession.

16.3 The Contract is between you and us and no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

16.5 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under the Contract, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking the Contract, that will not meant that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
