3              Variations

3.1          Either party may from time to time submit a written request for a Variation to the other party in accordance with this clause 3.

If the Client requests a Variation: (a) the Client will submit a written request to the Supplier containing as much information as is necessary to enable the Supplier to prepare a Variation Order; and (b) within three Working Days of receipt of a request, the Supplier will acknowledge receipt of the request and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter the Supplier will either, send to the Client a Variation Order or notify the Client of its decision to decline the Variation.

If the Supplier requests a Variation, it will send to the Client a Variation Order and the Client shall within three Working Days of receipt of the Variation Order either accept or decline the Variation.

No Variation shall be binding unless a Variation Order has been signed by the authorised representatives of both parties. For this purpose, the authorised representatives are the individuals identified in the Contract Details. If no individuals are identified in the Contract Details the Supplier shall be entitled to accept and act upon, and the Client shall be bound by, a Variation Order signed by any person who the Supplier reasonably considers to be an authorised representative of the Client for this purpose. A Variation Order signed by the Client and by the Supplier shall constitute an amendment to the Contract.

Any Variation to the Installation Schedule shall take account of the timescales required to change any deliveries as set out in clause 4.3.

Where the Variation is requested by the Client, the Variation to the Price shall also take into account any direct loss and/or expense incurred by the Supplier due to the regular progress of the installation of the Goods being affected by any compliance with the Variation Order.

3.4          Where the parties agree to defer the Anticipated Installation Start Date, the Client shall be liable for any related costs, including warehousing and insurance costs, beyond the first 28 days of deferment.

3.5          Where, at the Client's request, the parties agree a deferment of the Anticipated Installation Start Date, the Anticipated Installation End Date or the Installation Schedule by more than three months, the Supplier shall be entitled to payment as if delivery and installation of the Goods had been completed in accordance with the original Installation Schedule and the Supplier shall issue a vesting certificate substantially in the form set out in Schedule C.

4              Delivery of Goods

4.1          The Supplier shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods in accordance with the Installation Schedule, provided that the Installation Schedule allows for the Lead Times, but time for delivery shall not be of the essence in the Contract. Delivery shall be completed when the Goods are unloaded at the Site.

4.2          Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Supplier, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Site during Site Hours and during the Supplier’s standard business hours (Monday to Friday 09:00 to 18:00).

4.3          The Supplier will notify the Client’s Site Manager of all the Supplier’s deliveries that are being booked in to arrive at the Site. The Client must give the Supplier a minimum of three Working Days’ notice to cancel, change or book in a delivery at the Site. If the notice is not given before 1pm on a Working Day, it will be deemed to have been given on the following Working Day. If, exceptionally, the Supplier agrees to accept less than three Working Days’ notice, additional charges may apply.

4.4          Each delivery of the Goods will be accompanied by a delivery note which shows relevant Customer and Supplier references, and the type and quantity of the Goods.

4.5          The Client shall ensure that the set down and unloading area at the Site is within 40m of the access point to the building in which the Goods are to be installed.

4.6          The Client shall ensure that an authorised individual is available on Site to accept delivery of the Goods and to provide instructions, directions and access relating to the building and location at which they are to be installed.

4.7          If any Goods listed on the delivery note are missing, the Client's representative shall inform the Supplier by noon on the day following delivery, by providing a copy of the delivery note to the Supplier with the missing items marked. The Client acknowledges that by not informing the Supplier of any missing goods in this way within the said timescale, the Goods specified on the delivery note shall be deemed to have been delivered, unless the Client can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.

4.8          If for any reason the Client fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery in accordance with the Contract, or the Supplier is unable to deliver or install the Goods on time because the Client has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Contract (including, but not limited to, those in this condition or condition 8 (Client’s Obligations)) or if delivery and/or installation is otherwise hindered or delayed or cannot be made as a result of any reason not attributable to the Supplier (including where the Client has requested a Variation but failed to sign the Variation Order):

(a)           the Supplier may store the Goods until delivery; the Client shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, warehousing costs and insurance), save that the Supplier will bear the costs of storage and insurance for the first 28 days from the original agreed delivery date. For the avoidance of doubt, where the delivery date has been extended by a Variation Order, the Client shall be liable for all costs of storage and insurance for any period beyond the first 28 days from the original (pre-Variation Order) delivery date;

(b)           the Client may also become liable for the Supplier's reasonable costs incurred in relation to any further attempt to deliver and/or install (including, without limitation, out of hours charges); and

(c)           the Supplier shall be entitled to receive payment of any outstanding balance of the Price as if delivery and installation of the Goods had been completed at the time of attempted delivery.

(d)           if the resulting delay to the Anticipated Installation Start Date, the Anticipated Installation End Date or the Installation Schedule is more than three months, the Supplier shall be entitled to payment as if delivery and installation of the Goods had been completed in accordance with the original Installation Schedule and the Supplier shall issue a vesting certificate substantially in the form set out in Schedule C.

4.9          The Supplier shall ensure that all packaging and other materials brought to the Site by the Supplier in respect of the supply of Goods shall be removed from the Site in a timely manner upon completion of installation of the Goods.

4.10        The Supplier shall ensure that, while at the Site in connection with the supply, delivery, assembly or installation of Goods under a Contract, the Supplier's employees and subcontractors shall adhere to the Site health and safety policies as notified to the Supplier or otherwise brought to the notice of the Supplier or such persons.

4.11        The Client shall, within 7 days of the delivery of the Goods, notify the Supplier of any defect by reason of which the Client alleges that the Goods delivered are not in accordance with the Specification and which should be apparent on reasonable inspection, and/or that the delivery has resulted in damage to the Goods and, if required, shall provide the Supplier with a reasonable opportunity to inspect such Goods and the Supplier shall, at its option, either repair the Goods or deliver to the Client goods of equivalent or better quality than the Goods which in all material respects correspond with the Specification of the Goods in terms of design, colour and material used. If the Supplier complies with this condition 4.11, it shall be deemed to have delivered the Goods in accordance with the Contract and shall have no further liability in relation to such Goods, save for any liability under condition 6.4. In any event, the Supplier shall not be liable for any defects in or damage to the Goods unless it has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect and make good such defects or damage.

4.12        If the Client fails to give notice under condition 4.11 then, except in respect of any defect that is not one which should be apparent on reasonable inspection, the Goods shall be deemed conclusively to be in all respects compliant with the Specification and accepted by the Client.

4.13        The Client shall, within 7 days of the delivery or removal of the Goods, notify the Supplier of any damage to possessions or premises which has allegedly been caused in the delivery, assembly, installation or removal of the Goods, including a description of such damage and shall provide the Supplier with photographs of the alleged damage upon request and/or a reasonable opportunity to inspect such alleged damage and give the Supplier opportunity to repair the damage. If the Client fails to give the Supplier notice under condition 4.13, the Supplier shall not be responsible for any damage to possessions or premises allegedly caused in the delivery, assembly, installation or removal of the Goods. In any event, the Supplier shall not be liable for any minor damage such as scratches or scuffs or for any unavoidable damage such as holes drilled in walls to attach furniture or accessories, caused to possessions or premises during delivery, assembly, installation or removal of the Goods, nor shall the Supplier be liable for any damage unless it has been provided with satisfactory photographic evidence (where requested) of the alleged damage and/or had a reasonable opportunity to inspect and make good such damage. The Supplier shall not be liable for any damage caused where the installation or removal of the Goods has been carried out by the Client or its other contractors.

4.14        The Supplier may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.

4.15        Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and failure by the Supplier to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with the Contract, or any claim by the Client relating to an instalment, shall not entitle the Client to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.

4.16        Without prejudice to condition 4.7, if any expected delivery of Goods is not made on the agreed delivery date, the Client shall give written notice to the Supplier of the non-delivery within 2 Working Days of the expected delivery date and any liability of the Supplier for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods, within a reasonable time, with goods of equivalent or better quality than the Goods which in all material respects correspond with the description of the Goods in terms of design, colour and material used. If the Supplier complies with this clause 4.16, it shall be deemed to have delivered the Goods in accordance with the Contract and shall have no further liability in relation to such Goods other than under clause 6.4.

16.2        If the dispute is not resolved by the meeting between senior executives detailed at condition 16.1, either party may (at such meeting or within 14 calendar days of its conclusion) refer the dispute to a mediator to be appointed by agreement between the parties.

For online purchases, you will have an opportunity to check and change items in your Order up until the point at which you submit your Order by confirming the transaction at the checkout.

2.2          Please ensure that you read these Terms carefully, and check that the details on the Order are complete and accurate, before you submit the Order. If you think that there is a mistake or require any changes or if you have any questions arising out of these Terms, please contact Us to discuss. We will confirm any changes in writing to avoid any confusion between you and Us.

2.3          When you submit the Order to Us, this does not mean We have accepted your order for Goods and/or Services. Our acceptance of the Order will take place as described in Condition 2.4. If We are unable to supply you with the Goods and/or Services, We will inform you of this in writing and We will not process the Order.

2.4          These Terms will become binding on you and Us when We confirm that We are able to provide you with the Goods and/or Services and have accepted your Order, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and Us and we will be obliged to supply Goods that are in conformity with the contract.

2.5          If any of these Terms conflicts with any term of the Order, the Order (as confirmed by Us under condition 2.4) will take priority.

2.6          We shall assign an order number to the Order and inform you of it when We confirm the Order. Please quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence with Us relating to the Order.

2.7          Our website, catalogue and brochure are solely for the promotion of Our Goods in the UK. Unfortunately, We will only deliver to addresses outside the UK by express agreement.

2.8          We cannot guarantee that the appearance and/or colours of products shown on Our website, in Our catalogues or in Our brochures exactly reproduce the appearance and/or colours of the physical products themselves. Natural products may show some colour variations. All sizes quoted are approximate. Where we agree to provide a specifically designed plan, you agree to check the accuracy and suitability of the plan.

3              Changes to Terms

3.1          We may revise these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect:

(a)           changes in how We accept payment from you; or

(b)           changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.

3.4          If, after you have placed your Order, there is a change to these Terms which affects your Order, We will notify you of such change and you will have the opportunity to cancel your Order and receive a refund or confirm your Order under the amended Terms.

4              Delivery of Goods

4.1          Please note that timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of the Goods and your address.

4.2          We will contact you with an estimated delivery date (which will be within 30 days after the date We accept your Order, unless We agree a later date for delivery with you). Occasionally Our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. Please see Condition 12 for Our responsibilities when this happens.

4.3          We shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the product code of the Goods, where applicable), and special storage instructions (if any).

4.4          Please make a visual inspection of the Goods upon delivery to check for any obvious defects or missing Goods, and make a note on the delivery note if you discover any obvious defects or missing Goods. Failure to do so may prevent you from making a successful claim for any wrong delivery or defective Goods.

4.5          If you have asked to collect the Goods from Our premises, you can collect the Goods from Us at any time during Our opening hours by arrangement with Us.

4.6          Please bring to our attention, prior to the delivery date, any special requirements relating to access to the delivery address (including any instructions to leave the Goods with a neighbour if you are unavailable to take delivery). We may charge you for Our additional costs in the event that:

(a)           delays occur that result from your failure to provide us with any relevant information relating to access to the delivery address or providing Us with inaccurate information about your chosen delivery address; or

(b)           We are unable to make delivery as a result of there being nobody available to accept delivery of the Goods; or

(c)           We incur parking charges or fines as a result of your failure to inform Us of any applicable parking restrictions at the delivery address.

4.7          If no one is available at your address to take delivery:

(a)           We will either:

(i)            leave you a note that the Goods have been returned to Our premises, in which case, please contact us to rearrange delivery; or

(ii)           leave the Goods with a neighbour where you have provided instructions for us to do so only, in which case We will leave you a note to let you know where the Goods have been left, and We will not be responsible for any loss or theft of the Goods or damage to the Goods provided that We have left them with a neighbour in accordance with your instructions; and

(b)           We shall be under no obligation to assemble or install the Goods, although We may agree to do so at a later time or date by specific arrangement with you in which case We may charge you for any additional costs incurred by Us.

4.8          If We are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, We will deliver the Order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask Us to deliver the Order in instalments, We may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If We are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

4.9          The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery or from when you collect the Goods from Us. If the Goods are delivered to you, delivery will be completed when the Goods come into your physical possession or the physical possession of a neighbour nominated by you to accept delivery on your behalf.

4.10        You own the Goods once We have received payment in full.

5              Our Guarantee of Goods

5.1          We guarantee that on delivery and for a period of 7 days from the date of delivery, the Goods shall be free from material defects.

5.2          The guarantee in Condition 5.1 does not apply to any defect in the Goods arising from:

(a)           fair wear and tear;

(b)           wilful damage, abnormal storage or environmental conditions, accident, negligence by you or by any third party;

(c)           your failure to operate or use the Goods in accordance with the user instructions;

(d)           any alteration or repair by you or by a third party who is not one of Our authorised repairers; and

(e)           any specification provided by you.

5.3          This guarantee is in addition to your legal rights in relation to the Goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

6              Cancellation and Return of Goods

6.1          Please keep your invoice or receipt for anything you buy from Us. It will ensure We can help you, if you need to bring something back.

6.2          Except where goods are faulty, or you have a right to return them under Condition 6.4, or any other cancellation rights under these Terms apply (including under Condition 12.4), cancellation of an Order or return of unwanted Goods will only be accepted at Our discretion and may be subject to payment of any reasonable costs incurred by Us in connection with your Order. If We agree to allow you to cancel an Order or return Goods under this Condition 6.2, We will refund you any amounts paid for the Goods, less the delivery charges and any other reasonable costs incurred by Us in connection with your Order.

6.3          If the Goods you purchase are faulty, We may offer a repair, exchange or refund as appropriate in accordance with your consumer rights.

6.4          Where you are a consumer based in the EU and you have bought Goods via Our website, over the telephone, via email or by fax, you have the right, within the cancellation period described in Condition 6.6, to cancel your Order without giving any reason and to obtain a refund in accordance with Conditions 6.6 to 6.9. This right does not apply to certain types of Goods, including items personalised or made to your specification or made-to-measure Goods.

6.5          Please make sure your measurements are correct and accurate. Unfortunately, We cannot accept the return of made-to-measure Goods if the reason for the return is because you provided Us with incorrect measurements. However, this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-measure Goods that are faulty or not as described.

6.6          The period in which you may cancel your Order under Condition 6.4 will start on the date that We accept your Order and will expire after 14 days from:

(a)           in the case of Orders for Goods delivered in one instalment, the day on which you acquire, or a neighbour nominated by you to accept delivery on your behalf acquires, physical possession of the Goods; or

(b)           in the case of Orders for Goods delivered in instalments, the day on which you acquire, or a neighbour nominated by you to accept delivery on your behalf acquires, physical possession of the last instalment of the Goods.

6.7          To exercise your right to cancel under Condition 6.4, you must inform Us by a clear statement that you wish to cancel your Order. You can email Customer Services atinfo@loft-interiors.co.uk, call Us on 0161 826 5129 or write to Us at Venture House, 227 Ayres Road, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0NL or fax Us on 0800 157 7323  quoting your Order number or invoice number. You may use the model cancellation form available at here, but it is not obligatory. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your desire to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

6.8          You must take reasonable care of the Goods until you return them or We collect them. If you cancel your Order under Condition 6.4 after having received the Goods, then:

(a)           You shall return the Goods to Us at Unit 6 Maple Industrial Estate, Ardwick, Manchester M12 5AQ without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate the cancellation of your Order to Us, unless we have agree to collect them (in which case Condition 6.7(b) shall apply). The deadline is met if you return the Goods to Us before the 14 day period has expired. You will be responsible for the direct cost of returning the Goods. We may withhold reimbursement of any sums due to you in respect of the cancellation of your Order until We have received the Goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the Goods, whichever is the earliest.

(b)           If We agree to collect the Goods, We will charge you a reasonable sum for the direct cost of collecting any Goods from the address to which they were delivered following your cancellation.

6.9          If you cancel your Order under Condition 6.4 and return the Goods in accordance with Condition 6.8, We will reimburse all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery. We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for any loss in value of the Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of handling by you beyond that which is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

(a)           14 days after the day we receive back from you the Goods supplied; or

(b)           (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the Goods; or

(c)           if you have not yet received the Goods or We have agreed to collect them from you, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel your Order.

6.10        We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. In any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

6.11        Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

6.12        Goods identified as requiring to be returned should not be used after identifying the reason for the return.

7.1          We will make every effort to provide and complete the Services within the timescales agreed between Us.

7.2          We may need certain information from you that is necessary for Us to provide the Services. If you do not, after being asked by Us, provide Us with this information, or you provide Us with incomplete or incorrect information, We may suspend the Services by giving you written notice. We will not be liable for any delay or non-performance where you have not provided this information to Us after We have asked for it. If we suspend the Services under this Condition 7.2, you do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended, but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices We have already sent you or for further invoices which We send to you for other goods and/or services provided.

7.3          We may have to suspend the Services if We have to deal with technical problems, or to make improvements agreed between you and Us in writing to the Services. We will contact you to let you know in advance where this occurs, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You do not have to pay for the Services while they are suspended under this Condition 7.3 but this does not affect your obligation to pay for any invoices We have already sent you or for further invoices which We send to you for other goods and/or services provided.

7.4          If you do not pay Us for the Services when you are supposed to as set out in Condition 10.9, We may suspend the Services with immediate effect until you have paid Us the outstanding amounts (except where you dispute an invoice under Condition 10.11). We will contact you to tell you this. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest under Condition 10.10.

7.5          If We design any products for you, We will own the copyright, design right and all other intellectual property rights in the products and any drafts, drawings, designs or illustrations We make in connection with the products for you.

8.1          In the unlikely event that there is any defect with the Services:

(a)           please contact Us and tell Us as soon as reasonably possible;

(b)           please give Us a reasonable opportunity to repair or fix any defect; and

8.2          As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Services not carried out with reasonable skill and care, or if the materials We use are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

9              Cancellation of Services

9.1          Where you are a consumer in the EU and you have contracted with Us for the supply of Services via Our website, over the telephone, via email and/or by fax, you have the right to cancel the contract for Services without giving any reason and to obtain a refund by contacting Us in accordance with Condition 6.7. The period in which you may cancel your contract for Services will expire after 14 days from the day the contract between you and Us was concluded.  Refunds will be payable in accordance with Condition 6.10 and subject to Condition 9.2. We will pay the refund within 14 days after the date on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the contract.

9.2          We will contact you to agree the date on which We will provide the Services to you. If you request us to provide the Services within the cancellation period set out in Condition 9.1 then you acknowledge and agree that:

(a)           If you cancel your contract for the Services during the cancellation period after We have started to provide the Services, you shall pay us a proportion of the costs payable in total for the Services which reflects the Services performed up to the time We are informed of your decision to cancel your contract;

(b)           If the Services are fully performed within the cancellation period, you will lose the right to cancel your contract for the Services under Condition 9.1.

9.3          You may cancel the contract for Services with immediate effect by giving Us written notice at any time if:

(a)           We break this contract in any material way and We do not correct or fix the situation within a reasonable number of days of you asking Us to in writing; or

(b)           We go into liquidation or a receiver or an administrator is appointed over Our assets.

9.4          If the rights under Condition 9.1 do not apply, then unless any of your other cancellation rights apply under these Terms (including your rights under Condition 12.4), cancellation of the Services will only be accepted at Our discretion. If We agree to allow you to cancel an Order for Services, We will refund you any amount already paid for the Services, less any reasonable costs which are incurred by Us in connection with your Order.

9.5          Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

10           Price and Payment

10.1        The price of the Goods and/or the Services will be the price set out on Our website, displayed in our retail stores or as otherwise notified to you at the time We confirm your Order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that We have confirmed with you. 

10.2        On occasion, the prices payable in respect of goods advertised on Our website may differ from those prices payable at the retail stores. We are under no obligation to honour any in-store prices in the event that they differ from those on Our website. Similarly, We are under no obligation to honour any prices on Our website in the event that they differ from those in-store.

10.3        Prices that are reduced for sales and promotions are only valid for the specified period.

10.4        These prices include VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of the Order and the date of delivery or performance, We will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods and/or Services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

10.5        The prices for the Goods exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due in accordance with Condition 4.1.

10.6        It is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the Goods We sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of Our despatch procedures. If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated on Our website, We will contact you to tell you and for your instructions. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, We do not have to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

10.7        Where We are providing Goods to you, you must make payment for Goods in advance by credit or debit card. We accept payment with most credit and debit cards. You confirm by accepting these Terms that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your card refuses to authorise payment We will not accept your Order and We will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery and We are not obliged to inform you of the reason for the refusal.

10.8        We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of Our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your Order.

10.9        Where We are providing Services to you, We may ask you to make an advance payment towards the Services. Unless otherwise agreed, We may invoice you for the balance of the price of the Services weekly until the Services are completed. Each invoice will quote the Order number. You must pay each invoice in cleared monies within 7 calendar days of the date of invoice by credit card or debit card or other payment methods that We agree to accept.

10.10      If you do not make any payment due to Us by the due date for payment, We may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of The Bank Of England from time to time. 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.

10.11      However, if you dispute an invoice in good faith and contact Us to let Us know promptly after you have received an invoice that you dispute it, Condition 10.10 will not apply for the period of the dispute.

11           Our Liability to You

11.1        If We fail to comply with these Terms, We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of Our breach of the Terms or Our negligence, but We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of Our breach or if they were contemplated by you and Us at the time we entered into this contract.

11.2        We shall not be liable for:

(a)           any property damage sustained during delivery, assembly or installation of the Goods unless you notify Us of such damage at the time of delivery or within a period of 7 days following delivery and provide satisfactory evidence that such damage was caused by Our negligence, and give Us a reasonable opportunity to inspect such damage;

(b)           any damage to possessions resulting from your failure to move them to allow sufficient access for Us to deliver, assemble and install the Goods; or

(c)           the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that We discover in the course of installation and/or performance by Us.

11.3        We shall not be liable to you for any delays or inability to deliver, assemble or install the Goods and/or to provide the Services that result from inadequate access or facilities at the delivery address.

11.4        We only supply the Goods and/or Services to you for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Goods and/or Services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and We have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

11.5        We do not exclude or limit in any way Our liability for:

(a)           death or personal injury caused by Our negligence or the negligence of Our employees, agents or subcontractors;

(b)           fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

(c)           breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and by section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (title and quiet possession);

(d)           breach of the terms implied by sections 13, 14 and 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (description, satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose and samples); and

(e)           defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

12           Events Outside Our Control

12.1        We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of Our obligations under these Terms that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control.

12.2        An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond Our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks.

12.3        If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of Our obligations under these Terms:

(a)           We will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you;

(b)           Our obligations under these Terms will be suspended and the time for performance of Our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control;

(c)           where the Event Outside Our Control affects Our delivery of Goods to you, We will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over;

(d)           where the Event Outside Our Control affects Our performance of Services to you, We will restart the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

12.4        You may cancel the contract by giving Us written notice if an Event Outside Our Control takes place and you no longer wish Us to provide the Goods and/or Services. If you do so, you will be entitled to a refund of any payments already made, but you will be required to pay Us for any reasonable costs incurred in connection with your Order.

13           Our Rights to Cancel

13.1        If We have to cancel an Order for Goods (including made-to-measure Goods) and/or Services before the Services start or the Goods are delivered, for example, due to an Event Outside Our Control or the unavailability of stock  then:

(a)           We will promptly contact you;

(b)           if you have made any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to you, or Goods that have not been delivered to you, We will refund these amounts to you. Where We have already started work on your Order for Services or made-to-measure Goods by the time We have to cancel, We will not charge you anything and you will not have to make any payment to Us.

13.2        Once We have begun to provide the Services to you, We may cancel the contract for the Services at any time by providing you with at least 15 calendar days' notice in writing. If you have made any payment in advance for Services that have not been provided to you, We will refund these amounts to you.

13.3        We may cancel the contract for Services at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice if:

(a)           you do not pay Us when you are supposed to as set out in Condition 10.9. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest under Condition 10.10; or

(b)           you break the contract in any other material way and you do not correct or fix the situation within 7 days of Us asking you to in writing.

14            Personal information

14.1        We will use the personal information you provide to Us in accordance with Our privacy policy.

15           Other Important Terms

15.1        If you have any complaints or wish to contact us for any reason other than as already set out in these Terms, you can contact us by telephone on 0800 157 7322, by e-mail at enquities@loft-interiors.co.uk or by pre-paid post at 227 Ayres Road, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0NL.

15.2        If we have to contact you or give you notice in writing, we will do so by e-mail, telephone or by pre-paid post to the address or using the telephone number you provide to us in your Order.

15.3        We may transfer Our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, and We will always notify you in writing if this happens, but this will not affect your rights or Our obligations under these Terms.

15.4        You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if We agree in writing.

15.5        This contract is between you and Us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

15.6        Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.7        If We fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if We do not enforce Our rights against you, or if We delay in doing so, that will not mean that We have waived Our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If We do waive a default by you, We will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that We will automatically waive any later default by you.

15.8        These Terms are governed by English law. You and We both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

15.9        If you are not satisfied with how we have handled any complaint, you may wish to request that the complaint be referred for alternative dispute resolution (where an independent body considers the facts of the dispute and seeks to resolve it without you having to go to court). Disputes may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform, which can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/dr).
