8.2          The packaging of the goods may be different from that shown on the site.

8.3          While we try to make sure that:

8.3.1       any size, measurements or output ranges set out on the site are as accurate as possible, some variance can be expected as these are handmade products.

8.4          Any descriptions, images or advertising on the site are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods.  They shall not form part of the contract.

8.6          If we cannot supply certain goods we may need to substitute them with alternative goods of equal or better standard and value. In this case we will let you know if we intend to do this and you can refuse to accept such substitutes in which case we will offer you a refund.

8.7          We warrant that for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery, the goods shall conform in all material respects with their description, be free from material defects in design and material and workmanship, be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979) and be fit for the purpose held out by us. 

8.8          Subject to clause 8.9, if during the warranty period  the goods do not comply with the warranty set out at clause 8.7 above, then please contact us as soon as possible using the contact details on our contact page . 

8.9          We will not be liable for the goods’ failure to comply with the warranty at clause 8.7 above if the defect has arisen out of:

8.9.1       your installation or failure to reasonably maintain the goods;

8.9.2       specifications or requirements supplied by you if the goods are bespoke goods;

8.9.3       you have altered or repaired the goods without our written consent;

8.11        If we agree that the goods do not comply with the warranty, then we may either repair or replace the defective goods, or refund the price of the defective goods in full.  We will also refund your reasonable costs of return postage.  These terms and conditions will apply to any repaired or replacement goods supplied to you.      

8.12        Nothing in this contract affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You may also have other rights in law.
