Terms & Conditions of Sale
These conditions apply to the sale of goods by The Chaise Longue Company ("the Company") and can be varied only in writing signed by a Director of the Company. The Laws of England shall apply to this Agreement.
1. Payment Terms
Goods must be paid for in full prior to Delivery or collection in a form and at a time acceptable to the Chaise Longue Company. A minimum deposit of 50% of the total order value is payable on order. The balance plus storage fees (if any) will be payable on notification by the Company that the goods are ready for Delivery or collection. Cheques require a minimum of five working days for clearance prior to the release of goods for Delivery or collection.
2. Specification
Every effort will be made to supply goods to sample size and colour. Due to our products being 'hand-made', the photographs on our web-site are for illustrative purposes only and may not exactly match the product itself or its colour or the colour of any materials. Photographs or illustrations do not comprise any contractual warranty on our part and you should not rely on them as an exact representation of the products. All measurements shown on our website are approximate. The Company cannot be held responsible for slight variations which may occur. Should any fabric or product not be available the Company will notify the customer and permit the customer to choose an alternative from its then current range of fabrics and products. In the event that the fabric or product ordered differs in price from the replacement, an adjustment upwards or downwards of the price will be made and any adjustment will be payable or allowable (as the case may be) in the final payment. In the event that no fabric satisfactory to the customer is available the customer has the right to cancel the contract within seven days of being notified by the Company that the fabric of the customer's original choice is not available and the deposit placed on order shall be refunded.
Choosing a different fabric or altering sizes will change the appearance of the design and the feel of the design’s seating area and therefore cannot be compared to the showroom or website display design.
3. Completion Dates
These are approximate only and do not form any term or condition of this Agreement. Every effort will be made to adhere to these estimates but the Company accepts no liability for any direct or indirect loss arising from delay.
4. Delivery
All Deliveries are subject to the provisions of this clause. The Chaise Longue Company will undertake the cost of the insurance of the goods in transit of the customer. Customers must ensure that the goods ordered will fit through all doors and that Delivery is otherwise unobstructed and that all valuables are safeguarded from accidental damage. Appointment times are approximate only. In the event of exceptionally difficult Deliveries customers or their agents are required to sign a damage disclaimer. Failure to sign such disclaimer will result in the goods being returned to the Company's warehouse where they will be made available for collection by the customer during normal business hours.
