contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that

2.3 If we have to contact you we will do so by telephone or by writing to you at the email
address or postal address you provided to us in your order.

2.4 When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these terms, this includes emails.

3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

3.1 These terms will apply to your purchase of any goods and/or services from us and may
only be changed with our prior written authorisation. These terms together with your order
once accepted by us will constitute the contract between you and us for our supply and
your purchase of such goods and/or services.

3.2 Any quotation given by us shall not constitute an order, and is only valid for a period of
90 business days from its date of issue. We may extend this period at our discretion.

3.3 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you
for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock or because of unexpected
limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for.

3.4 By entering into a contract with us you warrant to us that you have the right to contract
with us to supply the goods and services at the property where they are to be delivered,
installed and provided.

4. ORDER AND SURVEY

4.1 The order shall be detailed on: (i) if no survey is required, a written order confirmation
summarising the product(s) ordered (the “Order Confirmation”); or (ii) if a survey is
required, an order confirmation form including a detailed specification of the product(s) to
be manufactured (the “Technical Order Confirmation Form”). The order shall be deemed to
have been accepted by us unless we notify you to the contrary within 7 days of you
accepting it in writing (in which case we shall promptly refund any sums paid by you in
respect of the order).

4.2 Some orders are subject to a detailed survey to undertake measurements and
specifications for the products. Should this be required one of our advisors will arrange a
suitable time for this to take place.

4.3 Should the results of the survey identify amendments to the order which would change
the price then we will notify you of such price change whereupon you have the right to
proceed with or cancel the order at your discretion. Should you choose to cancel the order
we shall promptly refund any sums paid by you in respect of the order.

4.4 The survey process will require you to approve the final design of the product(s) you
have ordered. By signing the Technical Order Confirmation Form (electronically and/or on
paper) you are agreeing the specification for the product(s) ordered and authorising us to
manufacture the product(s) to this specification. The order cannot be changed after this
point.

4.5 You agree that whoever you arrange to attend the survey on your behalf and sign the
Technical Order Confirmation Form will be acting as your agent and their authorisation of
the specification of the product(s) ordered will be binding upon you.

4.6 The product(s) supplied by us to you will correspond with the Technical Order
Confirmation Form where a detailed survey has been undertaken or the Order Confirmation
where no survey was required.

5. OUR PRODUCTS

5.1 The images of the products in our brochure, our visualisation application and/or on our
website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display
the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours or the
printed pictures in our brochure accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product
may vary slightly from those images.

5.2 Most of our fabric is made to order. As all our fabric is digitally printed onto natural
fabrics, it is likely it will shrink a small amount during the process of steaming, washing and
drying. The amount of shrinkage can vary between different fabrics. There is a commercial
tolerance of up to 10% on all orders, we absorb this 10% tolerance cost by ordering 10%
extra than is paid for by you, the customer. The shrinkage of natural fabrics can also happen
to a smaller extent in a slightly asymmetric way, unfortunately there is nothing we can do
which would avoid the chances of this. If you order fabric from us, you must accept the
small risk that the movement in the line of the pattern is within the 10% allowable
tolerance. These irregularities are often seen not as a defect but as a positive characteristic
of a natural fibre.

6. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

6.1 If you wish to make a change to the product(s) you have ordered please contact us. We
will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any
changes to the price of the product(s), the timing of their supply or anything else which
would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether
you wish to go ahead with the change. If a survey has taken place the order cannot be
changed.

7. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES

7.1 We may change any of the product(s) you have ordered:

7.1.1 to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and/or

7.1.2 to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements.
These changes will not affect your use of such product(s).

7.2 If for any reason we are required to make more significant changes than those set out
above to any of the product(s) you have ordered, which will affect your use of such
product(s), we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract before the
changes take effect and receive a full refund for any product(s) you have paid for but not
received.

8. DELIVERY

8.1 We will deliver the goods and supply the services to the place noted in the Order
Confirmation or the Technical Order Confirmation Form (as the case may be) as the delivery
address.

8.2 You will supply us with such information, rights of access and mains electricity that we
may reasonably require in order to deliver the goods and perform the services and/or to
check the goods and their installation where you notify us about a problem with the same.

8.3 Any delivery or supply date or time specified by us in the Order Confirmation, the
Technical Order Confirmation Form or during the order confirmation process (as the case
may be) is an estimate only, and we will not be liable to you for any loss sustained by you if
we fail to meet that time scale because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control
(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, any loss of income or revenue,
loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data or any waste of time related to a
cancelled installation appointment). All of our products are made-to-measure and may have
extended manufacturing and/or delivery periods. Some products, including shutters, will
have a delivery period in excess of 30 days. The estimated delivery date will be agreed with
you at the time of the order or, where a survey is required, the time of the survey.

8.4 In order to ensure safe working practices it is a condition of these terms that the area in
which the works are to be carried out is cleared of, without limitation.

8.5 For larger orders it may be necessary for the products ordered to be delivered to your
property prior to the installation date. We will inform you where this is necessary and you
will be responsible for accepting such a delivery in accordance with these terms.

8.6 To Ensure the safety of your pet we advise not to have buttons, studs on some items
dispayed please state No to these extras if your unsure your pet will chew. For the
avoidance of doubt, we consider this clause 8.6 to be reasonable in all circumstances given
the current legal, legislative and regulatory requirements. This will not affect your legal
rights as a consumer in relation to any products that are faulty.

8.7 If our supply of the product(s) you have ordered is delayed by an event outside our
control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps
to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays
caused by the event but, if there is a risk of substantial delay, you may contact us to end the
contract and receive a refund of any sums you have paid in advance for products which will
not be provided.

8.8 If you do not allow courier access to your property to deliver the goods or supply the
services as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this), we may charge you for
the additional costs incurred by us as a result.

8.9 The product(s) you have ordered will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the
product(s) to the address you gave us.

8.10 You will own the product(s) you have ordered once we have received payment in full
for the product(s).

8.11 We may have to suspend the supply of any product(s) you have ordered to:

8.11.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

8.11.2 update the product(s) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory
requirements; or

8.11.3 make changes to the product(s) as requested by you or notified by us to you.

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

9.1 The price for the goods and services to be supplied is stated on the Order Confirmation.

9.2 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the
product(s) you have ordered, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have
already paid for the product(s) in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

9.3 A deposit (which depending upon order value may be up to 100% of the agreed price)
shall be payable by you upon signing the Order Confirmation or on confirming your
acceptance of the order. In the event that cleared funds are not received for the deposit
payment (for example, if your debit or credit card declines or your cheque is declined by
your bank), we may request full payment by alternative payment method before the
installation of any of the product(s) you have ordered takes place.

9.4 Where the order is purchased on credit terms, we will supply you with the relevant
contractual documentation. The credit terms shall be regulated by the Consumer Credit Act
1995 and you will have certain rights to cancel under that Act. Please see the credit
agreement documents for further details.

9.5 By placing an order on credit terms, you authorise us, at our discretion, to carry out
credit references or other enquiries of your financial status through our credit partner and
you shall provide, upon request, any written authorisation which may be required for the
purpose of such enquiries.

9.6 Unless credit terms have been agreed with us in writing or payment in full has been
made by you on placing the order, payment in full of the purchase price for the product(s)
you have ordered, net of any deposit already paid, is due from you on delivery and
completion of the installation of the product(s) or, in the event of your cancellation of the
order or ending of the contract under clause 14.3 below prior to completion of the
installation of the product(s) or your refusal to accept delivery of the product(s), upon such
cancellation, ending or refusal as the case may be.

9.6.1 payment is in advance of the item being made. Should payment not be received, the
item will be postponed until the point at which the remaining balance has been settled.

9.7 Where you do not make any payment to us under the contract by its due date, we may,
in addition to any other rights which we have under the contract and in law, withhold
further deliveries or supplies or suspend performance of the contract until arrangements as
to payment or credit have been established on terms which are satisfactory to us.

9.8 In the event that your final balance payment is not received by us (for example, if your
debit or credit card declines or your cheque is declined by your bank) or if you otherwise fail
to make your final balance payment to us upon completion of the installation of the
product(s) ordered, we may instruct internal or external debt collectors to collect the
monies due from you under the contract. Where we instruct any debt collector we reserve
the right to charge you, in addition to the overdue amount and accrued interest and any
other remedies or rights that we may have, for any charges reasonably incurred by us in
instructing a debt collector. Orders that remain unpaid after the due date shall be subject to
an interest charge of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time.

Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of
the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You must pay us this interest
together with the overdue amount.

9.9 If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not
have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will
charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

every respect any samples shown or description given to you, any minor or immaterial

warranty.

property. It is your responsibility to ensure that the installation of the products does not
breach any leasehold, planning regulations or warranties that you may hold.

money you have paid in advance for such product(s) and we may also be entitled to further

the contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not
prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and
we do not chase you but we continue to supply the product(s) you have ordered, we can
still require you to make the payment at a later date.
