All Sales

We reserve the right to change the price by giving you notice at any time before delivery to reflect any increase in the cost to us such as foreign exchange fluctuations, alteration of duties, increase of the costs of materials and such like. If we change the price and you are not happy with it, you will be able to cancel your order.

Payment

Payment is required on placement of your order. Please note that we will not arrange delivery until we are in receipt of cleared funds.

Delivery

We shall endeavour to have the goods delivered to the delivery address on the delivery date, but time for delivery is not of the essence of this agreement. We use an independent delivery company for which we are not responsible so we cannot guarantee delivery times.
The goods will be offloaded at the nearest accessible point to the delivery address at the discretion of the driver, which may be the kerbside. The driver will not handle the goods further. The lorry has a tail lift off load so please be aware the pallet truck, will not be able to travel over gravel or any rough uneven ground.

However, if your goods have been a special order then your order may not have a tail lift lorry and would need to be taken from the curtain side of the lorry ether by hand or by fork lift. You must make us aware of any access restrictions or difficulties for a large lorry and you must ensure a responsible person is at the delivery address at the time of delivery to supervise the offload and sign for the goods.
When delivery is charged, the cost of delivery is in addition to the price and subject to VAT.
If we are not able to deliver the goods as a result of you not complying with your obligations under these terms, the goods will be retained by the driver and you will be responsible for any re-delivery or storage charges.
Although every effort will be made to honour the delivery date arranged with yourselves, we cannot be held responsible for any delays caused due to reasons beyond our control ( broken down vehicle, delays with imports, punctures, acts of God etc.)

Applicable terms, conditions and representations

These terms are the express terms and conditions governing the agreement.
There cannot be a variation or change to anything in this agreement unless it is agreed in writing and signed by both of us.
It is your responsibility to check that all the details relating to your order are correct and to provide us with all relevant information relating to the environment in which the goods are intended to be used and for their delivery.
It is important that you check your measurements carefully. An order should always include an additional 10% to allow for wastage to cover cutting, minor imperfections, as could be expected with the type of stone and finish ordered, and breakage. If you do not order enough, subsequent goods (as they are a naturally occurring product) may not be exactly the same as the original goods.
We can provide estimates of quantities of goods but this will be based on general guidelines and the measurements which you have supplied. It is your responsibility to provide accurate measurements to ensure that the correct quantities of goods are ordered. You should therefore seek professional advice as variations in surfaces and angles may affect the quantities required. We will not be responsible for any shortfalls or surpluses.
Where you are acting other than as a consumer, you confirm that you are not entering into this Agreement on the basis of, or relying on, any representation made to you by us that is not expressly incorporated into this Agreement in writing and signed by both of us.
As we have not carried out a survey or inspection of the installation site of the goods, we cannot give any warranty as to the suitability of the goods for that, or any other given environment. If you are acting other than as a consumer, you cannot rely on any implied or express representation, advice or information given to you by us that is not incorporated into the Agreement and signed by both of us.
We cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond our reasonable control. This may include (without limitation) shortfalls at source, natural disasters and restraints or delays affecting suppliers or transportation to us. We will endeavour to notify you as soon as possible should these problems occur.
In the case of Business Sales, you confirm that these are the only terms of the agreement between us and any provisions upon which you purport to purchase including those on any of your purchase order, or confirmation of order or similar documents or forms do not apply to this agreement between us.

It is your responsibility to ensure a professional fitter is carrying out your installation. We strongly recommend that you take up independent references.
We cannot therefore be responsible for the manner of installation of the Goods or for damage caused during or arising out of installation.
