Terms & conditions

1) Terms & Conditions

2) The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 and The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

1. Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions of Trading apply to all consumer contracts between Chesterfields Direct UK Limited and our subcontractors ('us/we/our') and the Customer ('you/your') in relation to all sales of goods and services. Additional terms and conditions apply to sales made through our Internet/Web Site, as set out below.

Product Specifications

We have a policy of continuous product development and reserve the right to amend the specification of products without prior notice in relation to future sales.

Goods supplied may differ as a consequence from those on display or advertised. Unless agreed with you, the goods supplied will be of equivalent value, functionality and appearance.

The furniture supplied by us is hand made using natural materials. As such the leather goods will have natural marks such as healed scars and barbed wire nicks, which signify genuine leather. Leather goods are made from natural leather and accordingly they may not be uniform in colour or texture. Only the finest hides are selected but they will show natural marks and scars on the hide which is normal and common place and part of the authenticity of real leather.

Our furniture will not have the even and consistent finish and appearance found in machine goods made with artificial materials. There will be minor variations in colour and appearance between goods provided and goods displayed in our showroom, leather samples and images on our website.

You acknowledge that such characteristics and variations are not go be regarded as defects for the purpose of assessing whether or not the goods are of satisfactory quality. Some leathers will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight and heat.

We will endeavour to match the colour and texture of the fabric of your sofa to the samples chosen as accurately as possible, but variations in both the colour and texture may occur from batch to batch.

Measurements

The measurements of all furniture and furnishings made by us will be as accurate as possible, but are nevertheless approximate.

Payments

We require payment in full before despatch of goods and all goods remain the property of Chesterfields Direct UK LTD until paid for in full.

We will contact you to advise you of your delivery date and at this time the balance of any monies due will be payable. Only once we have received the balance of any monies due in cleared funds will we be able to deliver.

Delivery

If you are unable, for whatever reason, to take delivery of your goods on the confirmed delivery date we will strive to find a suitable date as soon as possible.

If we accidentally damage goods in the course of delivery, then our liability for that damage is limited to the repair, refund or replacement of the goods or the value thereof.

Time of delivery is not of the essence in these Terms and Conditions of Trading. We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage suffered by you through any reasonable delay or delay due to unforeseen circumstances outside of the reasonable control of Chesterfields Direct UK Limited or delay due to any reasonable rescheduling of delivery.

Our dedicated delivery team strive to deliver all our furniture to the room of your choice.

However before you buy, please check that your chosen furniture will fit through hallways and doorways into your home and into the desired room. It is your responsibility to ensure that any furniture ordered will fit into your property and the room of your choice. We cannot be held responsible for any items that will not fit into your property.

If you need help with this please get in touch.

If for any reason the furniture cannot be delivered into your property due to size restrictions we will deliver the furniture for you into outbuildings/garage at your request.

We will not be held liable for any damage caused whilst trying to get furniture into your property if there are access issues.

IMPORTANT: Please note that if a delivery time is booked in and there is nobody to meet the driver, we will make a charge for redelivery. Our overseas couriers reserve the right to sometimes deliver your order to the kerbside only, so please make sure you have any help you need to carry the furniture into your house.

Damages and Defects

If the Goods are delivered damaged or faulty or are otherwise incorrect, you must notify us within 24 hours of delivery and we will arrange to inspect the Goods and if they are found to be damaged, faulty or incorrect we will repair or replace them as appropriate and arrange for the repaired or replaced Goods to be delivered to you at no additional charge. Your notification under this clause should be put in writing and sent by email to [email protected] or by letter delivered to our showroom.

Returns and Refunds

All our furniture is made especially for you: it is not held in stock. Products that are made especially for you may not be cancelled by you, either before or after delivery. All our furniture with the exception of our sale or clearance items are made to your exact specifications and therefore cannot be cancelled once we have accepted your order. These orders fall outside the Distance selling Regulations (2000) which states that personalised goods or goods made to a consumer's specification are exempt.

All sale items are non returnable/refundable and you will be charged the delivery and collection costs for any non faulty return along with an admin charge at the managements discretion.

Any cancellations made before your furniture has been manufactured or delivered will carry a minimum £25 admin fee.

Guarantees

Claims Under Guarantee
