12 FLOOR COVERING COLOURS/PATTERN MATCHING/INSTALLATION

12.1 Although we endeavour to supply Goods in accordance with the colour charts shown on the Website, we cannot guarantee the products supplied will be an exact colour match to those shown. It is therefore possible that minor differences may occur which are inherent in all naturally produced products. These differences do not occur due to a default in the manufacture of Goods. We would bring your attention to the following matters that are characteristic to carpets and other floor coverings.
12.2 We will endeavour to colour match different carpet widths but cannot guarantee identical matches. Side-by-side pattern matching or consistent room to room linear design directions cannot be guaranteed.
12.3 Pile carpets, especially those with plain grounds, are liable to shading, where light and dark patches arise due to uneven surface pressure. Shading is a natural occurrence in carpets and is not a manufacturing fault and will not affect its durability.
12.4 We would point out that light and delicately shaded carpets are prone to becoming soiled in everyday wear. This may give the carpet an appearance of losing its colour.
12.5 All cut pile fabrics of any fibre type will flatten due to use, particularly in areas of heavy footfall. Regular vacuuming will help to allay this. Pile flattening is a normal reaction to localized traffic and is not a manufacturing defect.
12.6 Carpet seams will be present if the room or area exceeds the width of the carpet selected.
12.7 For when fitting, all laying surfaces provided will be assumed to be level, smooth and sufficiently dry to accept this type of flooring. We cannot accept any liability for the suitability of the product and its installation if these conditions are not suitable.
12.8 All Laminate and Hardwood installations will allow for the recommended manufacturers expansion tolerances and include a beading strip at all perimeter edges to cover the required expansion gap. The only exception to this will be if the skirting boards are removed by the customer prior to installation and refitted by the customer following completion of the installation.

13 DISCLAIMERS

13.1 We do not warrant that use of our Web Site is entirely free from the risk of viruses or other damaging components.
13.2 Where individual products are subject to additional warranties or guarantees given by their manufacturers, you are responsible for applying for the warranty in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Such warranties are not enforceable against us, but only enforceable against the manufacturer.
13.3 All Goods ordered will be ordered to the exact sizes as provided on the Enquiry Form. We cannot accept any liability should any product ordered not fit due to any errors in the measurements provided.
13.4 All quotes are given on the presumption that the room is clear and prepared for fitting unless specified in writing – if uplift and disposal is required there will be an additional charge.
If you are based in a restricted parking zone it is your responsability to ensure adequate parking arrangements are made for delivery.
All carpet off cuts will be picked up and left in bags on site. Should you wish for them to be removed please ask the fitter to do so. A charge may apply depending on local authority regulations in your area.
You are responsible for supplying your own measurements – we recommend allowing an allowance of 10%.
13.5 This does not affect your statutory rights with respect to Goods purchased from us.

14 DELAY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM

14.1 We shall not be liable to you if we are prevented or delayed in the performing of any of our obligations to you if this is due to any cause beyond our reasonable control including (without limitation): an act of God, explosion, flood, fire or accident; war or civil disturbance; strike, industrial action or stoppages of work; any form of government intervention; a third party act or omission; failure by you to give us a correct delivery address or notify us of any change of address.
