Issues to consider We will be delighted to answer any questions you may have before you place any order online or by telephone, but here are some things you might like to consider: • Do I want to order any extra items such as a matching footstool or a chair at a later date or carpet for another room? If so, please note that there might be slight colour shade variations and it is therefore best to order all the furniture or flooring you require at the same time. • Can access be gained easily for the furniture to be delivered? Are the doors wide enough; are there any awkward stairs, lifts or passageways? • Will the furniture fit into the room? When browsing online remember: • The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer or device's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images. • Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because some of our Products are handmade, sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site have a 2% tolerance. • The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown on images on our site. 2.2. Telephone Sales 2.2.1. How to place an order The information about the Products on our site constitutes an “invitation to treat” and is not a contractual offer from us which you may accept. This means that we reserve the right to correct any errors in that information without liability to you. It also means that in no circumstances will we be contractually bound to supply you with Products on the basis of any incorrect information, even if that information is repeated in your order. You may order Products with an internet Sofa and Carpet Specialist over the telephone by calling us on 0800 7310048 or by completing the call back enquiry form on our site.

Acknowledgement and acceptance of your order and Contract duration Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acknowledgement by us, and we will confirm that acknowledgement to you by sending you order confirmation paperwork which will include a copy of sections 2 and 3 of these terms and conditions and other information (Order Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Order Confirmation or, if you choose one of our easy payment options, when we receive your signed finance documents and sales contract. The paperwork will usually be sent to you by email and will arrive within 5 working days of the day you place your order. The Contract will end when both of us have performed all our obligations, including under any guarantee. The Contract will relate only to those Products confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until we have confirmed the order of those Products in a separate Order Confirmation. Surveyor visits You may want a surveyor to visit and check measurements for an order of carpet/vinyl flooring Products. The surveyor can calculate the final (rather than estimated) price of an order. You may ask the surveyor to give you a further quote, for example to add another room. Any further quote you receive from a surveyor is subject to confirmation from us. If you want to proceed with the quote, the surveyor will add that to your order under the same Contract. That means you will only pay one delivery charge and that you ensure a colour match if the flooring can all be cut from the same roll. If you prefer to place another order, that will be a new Contract. The surveyor's quote is not capable of forming the basis of an offer for a new Contract, since prices and availability of flooring Products may change. You will need to place your new order by telephone, online or by visiting a store. 2.3. Online Sales 2.3.1. The information on our site The information about the Products on our site constitutes an “invitation to treat” and is not a contractual offer from us which you may accept.
