Our Products
-
All blind types will be supplied and fitted with the appropriate child safety devices to comply with EN13120 as of 2014. By law, we must install these in your property and customer refusal of this will result in our installation team halting works. You will still be supplied with your products, however at the same cost and on a supply only basis. This does not affect your statutory rights. You can find instructions on how to fit your child safety device on our ‘Guides’ section.
-
We have a manufacturing tolerance of +/- 5mm across all blind types and components. If your item falls within these parameters, we will not be held responsible for a damaged, faulty or an inaccurately described product.
-
Due to differences in device screens, we cannot guarantee an exact match to the swatch on screen and the actual product material. We therefore always recommend you request a free sample in advance of ordering made-to-measure products. If you are placing a repeat order, we still advise ordering a sample as fabric colours may vary from batch to batch. You are entitled to order as many samples as you desire, within reason.
-
Our made to measure blinds will be supplied to you with all of the required components and fixings except for screws. This is due to our manufacturing team being unaware of what surface you are installing your blind to. If you would like any advice on which screw type is most suited to your blind, please contact us. The response given by our team acts as advice only, we will not be held responsible for any damage caused to your blind or surrounding areas.
-
Your Rights to Amend or Cancel Your Order
-
If you have made a mistake in your order or would like to amend it, contact us at your earliest convenience and we can do our best to rectify this for you. Please note that once manufacturing has begun, we cannot guarantee that we can correct your mistake at all or without incurring costs.
-
Once your order has been manufactured, you are unable to make any changes to made-to-measure products or cancel. This does not affect your consumer rights.
-
If you have ordered before manufacturing has begun and would like to end your contract with us, please make contact and we will arrange a full refund within 30 days.
-
Our Rights to Amend or Cancel Your Order
-
In the unlikely event that we cannot accept your order, we will notify you immediately and make arrangements accordingly. This may be because:
- 6.1.1 An item is out of stock.
