We make every reasonable effort to ensure that Goods conform to the photographs, descriptions and samples provided on our Website. However, please note that certain colours may look different to the actual colour of the Goods, when displayed to you on an electronic device.

4.Price & Payment
4.1 All prices we provide are expressed exclusive of delivery costs, VAT, and any other relevant taxes. There is no minimum order value unless otherwise stated.

4.4 For account orders, we will send you an invoice when we receive your order. Account orders are payable by the agreed terms as per the invoice.
4.5 If we have agreed a credit limit with you, invoices up to this limit will be payable in full, without set-off withholding or deduction, within the agreed terms as per the invoice. Invoices over this limit will be payable in full immediately.
4.6 We reserve the right to request payment up front if you exceed your credit limit, if, for any reason, we are not satisfied of your creditworthiness, or if we so decide at our sole discretion. In this event, no Goods will be produced or dispatched until such time as any pro-forma invoice issued by us has been paid in full.
4.7 We accept payment by BACS, Bank Transfer, PayPal, credit or debit card. Payment must be made on the due date regardless of whether delivery has taken place or not.
4.8 The time for payment is of the essence of the Contract.

Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment.
5. Delivery
5.1 For Orders we receive on a business day (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays), we aim to dispatch the Goods within 3-5 days of order acceptance, however, we cannot guarantee this.

In any event, Goods will be delivered within 30 calendar days after the date of our Order Confirmation unless otherwise agreed or specified during the Order process (subject to delays caused by events outside of our control - see clause 13). Please allow five working days from order confirmation for the delivery of Goods.
5.3 Estimated delivery dates may vary according to the availability of the Goods, your location, and circumstances beyond our control. Time for delivery is not of the essence of the Contract.

5.5 Delivery will be deemed to have taken place when the Goods have been delivered to the delivery address set out in your Order and you (or someone identified by you) have taken physical possession of the Goods.
5.6 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery will constitute a separate Contract. Failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms and Conditions will not entitle you to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
5.7 If for any reason we are unable to deliver the Goods at your chosen delivery address, the courier will leave a note informing you that the Goods have been returned to our premises or a local depot and requesting that you contact the courier to arrange re-delivery. We will pass on any costs incurred by us for re-delivery, storage, restocking and/or administration costs.

6.2 Until payment has been made to us in accordance with clause 4, and title in the Goods has passed to you, you will be in possession of the Goods as bailee for us and in the event that you sell or transfer the Goods to a third party before legal and beneficial title has passed to you under these Terms and Conditions, the proceeds of the sub-sale or transfer (or such proportion as may be due to us) must be held by you on our behalf and must be identified as such.
6.3 We will be entitled at any time to require you to deliver up to us any Goods in which we retain title and, if you fail to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of yours or any third party’s during normal business hours where the Goods are stored to repossess them.
