OUR RETURNS POLICY

For defective products we will examine the returned product. Products returned by you because of a defect not caused by you or your servant or agent (including plumber or other installer) will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us. If after examination, we find the returned product to be defective due to a defect not caused by you or your servant or agent (including plumber or other installer) we will notify you in relation to your refund via email within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process any refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days from the date we confirmed to you via email that you were entitled to a refund for the defective product. We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. If upon return, the damaged products have been modified or have undergone any attempted installation, you may be responsible/liable for any costs of return or redelivered product that is not in the condition previously stated. Where it is deemed necessary for us to collect an item on your behalf we may charge a collection fee up to the maximum value of £149.95, which we would advise prior to collection of the item. We will refund your money on orders within 14 days of cancellation less any delivery cost as detailed.

REPLACEMENT OF PRODUCTS & PARTS

Should you require a replacement item or part(s), we will require a photograph of the damaged/faulty item highlighting the problem where possible to be forwarded to our Aftersales department via the following email address creativedesign1@btinternet.com. A response will normally be issued to you within 48 working hours. When a replacement item is removed and an additional cost is incurred by your professional fitter, we may ask for comparison quotations before work commences and we consider reimbursements of any costs. Any replacement products/part(s) that are despatched to destinations outside of mainland UK may incur additional delivery charges.
From time to time we may require additional photographs as our manufacturers may change designs/specifications of our products to ensure that we despatch the correct replacement part(s). Also from time to time we may not be able to provide a replacement part, in these circumstances we may need to replace your item with the nearest equivalent item from our then current range. To enable us to consider issuing a replacement item/part(s) we expect the item to have been properly maintained, cleaned and cared for. We do reserve the right to refuse replacement items/part(s) should we discover this is not the case. Any item which is found not to have been installed correctly under the terms of our warranty we reserve the right to refuse a replacement item to be issued free of charge.

  1. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY
    6.1 Availability of delivery of our Products is as specified on our site from time to time. We currently offer delivery of all our Products to all mainland UK. The availability of delivery of Products to your destination will be confirmed to you in the Dispatch Confirmation.
    6.2 Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 30 working days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances. All non-mainland UK deliveries may be subject to an additional delivery charge and also may have delivery restrictions.
    If we attempt delivery on an agreed delivery date and you are unavailable to receive the delivery and our couriers have not been informed of alternative arrangements, you may be subject to a further re-delivery charge. For UK orders, a map of the UK which will give you the minimum delivery charge for your postcode (provided at time of placing the order) can be found under the section delivery prices.
    We shall aim to let you know if we expect that we are unable to meet our estimated delivery date, but, to the extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising out of late delivery. We recommend that you do not confirm the start date with your installer until you have received and checked your delivery. If you do not check your delivery is correct before installation starts we will not accept liability for any additional costs that you incur while any product issues are resolved. Before any of our products are loaded onto our delivery vehicles and leave our premises to be delivered to you, we undertake a quality control check which consists of a visual examination of the product. If however, in the unlikely event that you receive a damaged product or the packaging is damaged, it is your responsibility to report this information to us within 7 working days from receipt of the product and before any installation work is undertaken. We will then deal with the product in accordance with our returns policy for defective products. Once you receive your delivery it should be checked immediately for any damage, missing items to enable you to sign for the delivery accordingly. If however, on opening the packaging you discover you have received a damaged product, it is the customer’s responsibility to report this information within 7 working days from receipt of the product. For larger items (normally deliveries on pallets) we aim to deliver the product(s) to you at the kerb-side at the nearest access point for the delivery vehicle. You must arrange for the transport of the product from the kerb-side once it has been unloaded from the delivery vehicle. Alternative delivery options are available on request and may be subject to an additional delivery charge. It is the customer’s responsibility to dispose of the empty wooden pallet and any packaging.
  1. RISK AND TITLE
    7.1 The Products will be your responsibility from the time of delivery.
    7.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

All specifications given to the customer are approximate and intended as a guide only. We always endeavour to ensure all product descriptions are correct, but advise customers to seek technical advice from qualified sources prior to ordering products and any work to be carried out. Whilst we make every effort to reproduce the colours of the products correctly slight variations may occur during the print and photography process.
Please note that certain products such as bathroom furniture may need some alteration to suit specific requirements, such as pipe work, space constraints and designs. Any such alterations are carried out at the customers own risk, and as such the product guarantees may be rendered invalid.

    8.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we may at our discretion make a refund to you of the difference in price when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
    8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.
    8.6 Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card through Paypal. We will charge your credit or debit card via Paypal, upon receipt of your order. In the event that we do not accept your order and are unable to dispatch the Products to you the price will be refunded to the credit or debit card from which payment was taken or if paid through Paypal the price will be refunded to your Paypal account.

In this case, we will refund the price of the Product in full, and any applicable delivery charges. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us.
  4. for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 14 that you do not agree to a change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you consider that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund. We will refund the price of a defective Product in full, any applicable delivery charges and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

9.3 We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

  1. WARRANTY
    We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our site will, on delivery and, except for the bulbs in our LED products, shower hoses, toilet seats, cistern fittings, all cartridges and hinges, for a further period of 10 years from the date of delivery (warranty period) conform in all material respects with its description, be of satisfactory quality, and be reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of that kind are commonly supplied.
  1. OUR LIABILITY 
    11.1 Subject to clause 11.3, if we fail to comply with these terms and conditions, we shall only be liable to you for the purchase price of the Products.

  2. loss of income or revenue;
  3. loss of business;
  4. loss of profits;
  5. loss of anticipated savings;
  6. loss of data; or
  7. waste of management or office time.

However, this clause 11.2 will not prevent claims for loss of or damage to your tangible property that are foreseeable or any other claims for direct loss that are not excluded by categories (a) to (f) inclusive of this clause 11.2.
11.3 Nothing in this agreement excludes or limits our liability for:

  1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
  2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
  3. any breach of the obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979;
  4. defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
  5. any other matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude our liability.

11.4 a) If you intend to install a product you have purchased from us through a plumber or other installer and, prior to the installation, you are aware of a defect as referred to under clause 0.1, or your plumber or installer should reasonably be expected to discover and therefore become aware of any such defect upon inspection, then if planned installation proceeds we will not be responsible for any costs of reinstallation, incurred by you or your or other installer, which you may subsequently claim to have been necessary as a result of the defect.
b) In the event of us agreeing to reimburse you for the costs of reinstallation (for instance, if we determine that the product in question was defective when installed but such defect may not have been clearly apparent to you or your plumber or other installer) then such reimbursement is limited to your plumber or other installer’s reasonable costs, which may be determined with reference to normal industry levels at the time in question.
c) In the unlikely event of damage or injury as a result of our product, such claims for costs will be dealt with by an independent assessor appointed by ourselves. The assessor will investigate the claim and advise all parties concerned accordingly. All instances must be reported within 14 days following the incident.

OUR GUARANTEE

We will replace at our discretion, in part or whole, a product which is defective in operation, materials or workmanship. If the exact model is no longer available, we will endeavour to provide the nearest equivalent from our then current range. To be covered by the guarantee, all products should be installed in accordance with the instructions provided and be for domestic use only. This product guarantee applies to the original purchaser or end user, is non-transferable and takes effect from the date of purchase. The guarantee does not cover damage during fitting, accidental or malicious damage, improper use or negligence, discolouration due to prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV light, general wear and tear (e.g. light bulbs, hinges, cartridges and shower hoses are items that do need to be replaced periodically), damage due to poor installation or servicing or consequential loss. Shower hoses, all cartridges, LED lights, all hinges, toilet seats and cistern fittings are guaranteed for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase. Care should be taken in hard water areas to ensure that cartridges are regularly cleaned. Care should be taken with shower door seals and shower door runners to ensure they are kept clean and well maintained to enable them to function correctly.
Please note we advise use of mild cleaning products (i.e. soap and water) on all our products. Strong and abrasive cleaning solutions are not recommended as failure to follow this may result in the warranty becoming invalid.
Please keep a copy of your original invoice or receipt to refer to in the event of any claim.
Our guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights, and does not affect your statutory rights.
