PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - ORDERS

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions of Products shown on the Website include approximate measurements. Colours shown on screen are reproduced as accurately as electronic processes allow. We try to ensure that our Website is as accurate as possible. However, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies or errors which may arise.

All our prices are shown in pounds sterling and include VAT, at the prevailing rate.

Delivery charges are additional to the cost of your Products.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - CONTRACT CREATION
The technical steps required to create the contract between you and us are as follows:

• You place the order for your Products on the Website by completing the checkout process. You will be guided through the process of placing an order by a series of simple instructions on the Website.
• We will send you an order acknowledgement e-mail detailing the Products you have ordered. This is not an order confirmation or order acceptance.
• When your order is despatched from our workshop we will send you a despatch confirmation e-mail.
• Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place only on the despatch to you of the Products.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER
We do not have to accept your order and reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order once it has been placed. This may be done, for example, if:

• your payment is not authorised or has been marked as fraudulent, or potentially fraudulent, by the payment system;
• payment has been made using a card not issued in a country we dispatch to, or not where the billing address is;
• there is an error on the website regarding the price or description of a product;
• the items ordered are no longer in stock or in production;
• we have tried contacting you about your order and have not heard back within a reasonable period of time; or
• if the items you have ordered are unavailable for any other reason, you will be notified as soon as possible.

By placing an order with us you are confirming that any information you have given is true and accurate and that you are authorised to use the card on which payment was made.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - FORCE MAJEURE
We are not liable for any breach of agreement, for delay or failure to perform if the delay or failure is due to acts of God, civil commotion, riots, floods, drought, fire, legislation or other cause beyond our reasonable control. This does not affect your statutory rights.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - REFUND POLICY
We hope you'll be pleased with your purchase. Should you wish to return anything bought from us, we'll be happy to refund or exchange a product provided it's returned in its original packaging and in fully resaleable condition. Returns should be made within a reasonable time (which shall be no later than 3 months). Please check your order thoroughly upon receipt as any issues can only be resolved if reported to us within the 3 month return period. Please see below for exceptions to this policy.

If the product returned is not in fully resaleable condition, or is damaged in any way, we reserve the right to refuse a refund on the item, or to deduct an amount from the original selling price which we believe in our reasonable opinion amounts to the level of damage caused. This does not affect your statutory rights. 

Refunds can only be made to the original card of purchase. Refunds to a card other than the original can only be processed under the following circumstances:

• the original account no longer exists
• the original account details have expired
• the order has been placed exclusively with gift vouchers
• the recipient requires a credit

We’re unable to offer a refund or exchange on bespoke or made-to-measure goods unless they’re faulty. Unfortunately cut fabric is non-returnable unless the fabric is faulty.

We are unable to offer a refund or exchange on goods purchased from the sale room within our showroom at The Ironworks, Lady Lane, Hadleigh, Suffolk, IP7 6BQ.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - DELIVERY CHARGES
If you wish to return any goods, you will be liable for the cost of return delivery. We will, however, refund any delivery charge you've paid when a product is found to have been damaged, faulty or incorrect due to our fault, but not otherwise.*

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - REFUND OR EXCHANGE
We'll refund the price of the Product (and delivery charges, where applicable) or exchange the Product only once it's been received by us.*

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - OUR GUARANTEE
We guarantee that if the Product fails within 24 months (12 months for shades)  of the date of delivery due to manufacturing defects then we shall repair them free of charge. If we cannot (or it is not economically viable to) repair the faulty Product, we will provide you with a Product of equivalent specification as a replacement. If no equivalent Product is available we will discuss an alternative settlement with you, and we will always do our best to make sure that you are fully satisfied with the outcome.

The Guarantee does not cover any faults or damage caused by:  

• failure to follow our assembly/installation instructions
• improper installation or operation
• misuse
• abuse
• neglect
• cleaning or accident
• failure to follow instructions regarding the usage of the correct bulb
• disassembling or tampering with the product
• loss of finish or patina
• items you have changed or repaired yourself.
• consumables, such a light bulbs
• natural changes in character and texture; variations are inherent in materials and finishes over time and should be expected
• items sold through our clearance area
• installation/removal costs

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - CANCELLATION OF MADE-TO-MEASURE PRODUCTS
After placing an Order with us we will email you a confirmation of the Order details in writing. You must notify us of any errors in the Order within 48 hours of receiving confirmation of the Order from us. If you do not receive your order confirmation within 48 hours, please contact us immediately by phone. If you fail to do so, we shall be entitled to assume that you are satisfied with the Order as detailed in the confirmation. If you fail to check the Order confirmation properly and need to make changes to the order subsequently, we reserve the right to charge for the changes as necessary.





Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000
The Distance Selling Regulations (which allow consumers a seven day “cooling off” period after purchasing and a right to cancel an order during this period) do not apply to “personalised goods or goods made to a consumer's specification” thereby excluding Jim Lawrence made-to-measure products. A cancellation during this period needs to be agreed between the customer and Jim Lawrence Ltd on a case by case basis.

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - CONTRACT CANCELLATION UNDER THE DISTANCE SELLING REGULATIONS ('DSR')
You are entitled to cancel this contract under the DSR (now governed by The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013) if you wish, provided that you exercise your right and notify us in writing or other durable medium (eg fax or e-mail) no longer than 14 days after the day on which you receive the Products. If you have exercised your right in accordance with these Conditions and your order has already been despatched, we will refund the original purchase price and delivery charge.

Please note that you do not have a right to cancel an order under the DSR if you are contracting as a business, or if you have previously inspected the Products. Furthermore, your right to return Products does NOT apply to goods made to your specification (bespoke or made-to-measure).

PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS - DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS
