7.10.2 We will not be liable for any consequential loss of any description, financial or otherwise that may result from any Goods not being delivered or installed on time.

7.11.1 If We refuse to deliver the Goods, you may treat the Contract as being at an end and We will reimburse you without undue delay.
7.12 If the event in sub-Clause 7.11 occurs you may, instead of treating the Contract as being at an end, specify a new delivery time or time period. If We continue to fail to deliver the Goods, you may treat the Contract as being at an end and We will reimburse you without undue delay.
7.14 If, despite the events in sub-Clause 7.11 and 7.12, you choose not to treat the Contract as being at an end, your right to cancel your Order or to reject the Goods will be unaffected. If you do so, We will reimburse you without undue delay.
7.15 If the Goods form a Commercial Unit, you may only reject or cancel all of the Goods, not a portion of them.
8.1 By law, We must provide goods that are of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described at the time of purchase, in accordance with any pre-contract information We have provided, and that match any samples or models that you have seen or examined. (Where we are unable to provide a particular model number of appliance we reserve the right to supply a similarly priced product, in quality and specification). If any Goods you have purchased do not comply and, for example, have faults or are damaged when you receive them, or if you receive incorrect Goods, please contact Us as soon as reasonably possible to inform us of the fault, damage or error, and to arrange for a refund, repair or replacement. Please note that if the Goods are incorrect as a result of your provision of incorrect information, rather than them not matching Our description, as explained in sub-Clause 4.6, you will not be able to return those Goods.
8.2 Beginning on the day that you receive the Goods (and ownership of them) you have a 30 Calendar Day right to reject the Goods and to receive a full refund if they do not conform as stated above. If you do not wish to reject the Goods, or if the 30 Calendar Day period has expired, you may request that the Goods are repaired or replaced. Within the first six months after you have received the Goods, you are entitled to a repair or replacement unless We can prove that the defect was not present at the time you bought the Goods. After the first six months, you must prove to Us that the defect was present at the time of purchase in order to qualify for a repair or replacement. We will bear any associated costs and will carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you. In some cases, if repair or replacement is impossible or otherwise disproportionate, We may instead offer you the alternative (i.e. a replacement instead of a repair or vice versa) or a full refund.
If you request a repair or replacement during the first 30 Calendar Day period, that period will be suspended while We carry out the repair or replacement and will resume on the day that you receive the replacement or repaired Goods. If less than 7 Calendar Days remain out of the original period, it will be extended to 7 Calendar Days.
If, after a repair or replacement, the Goods still do not conform (or if We cannot repair or replace them, as described above, or have failed to act within a reasonable time and/or without causing you significant inconvenience), you may have the right either to keep the Goods at a reduced price, or to reject them in exchange for a refund.
If you exercise this final right to reject the Goods more than six months after you receive them (and ownership of them), we may reduce any refund to reflect the use you have had out of the Goods.
Within a period of six years after you receive the Goods (and ownership of them), if the Goods do not last a reasonable length of time (depending upon their nature), you may be entitled to a partial refund. Please be remember that after six months
have passed since you received the Goods, the burden of proof will be on you to prove that the defect or non-conformity existed at the time of delivery.
8.3 Please note that you will not be eligible to claim under this Clause 8 if We informed you of any faults, damage or other problems with the Goods before your purchase of the them; if you have purchased the Goods for an unsuitable purpose that is neither obvious nor made known to Us and the problem has resulted from your use of the Goods for that purpose; or if the problem is the result of normal wear and tear, misuse or intentional or careless damage. Please also note that you may not return Goods to Us under this Clause 8 merely because you have changed your mind. Please refer to Clause 9 for details of what to do if you change your mind.
8.4 To return Goods to Us for any reason under this Clause 8, you may do so in person during Our business hours of 8:30am to 4:30pm or you may return them to Us by post or another suitable delivery choice. [You may alternatively request that We collect the Goods from you. Please ensure that the Goods are ready for collection at the agreed time and location. We are solely responsible for collecting the Goods in this case, however We may appoint a third party carrier to collect them in which case We will provide you with all relevant details.] We will be fully responsible for the costs of returning Goods under this Clause 8 and will reimburse you where appropriate.
8.5 Refunds (whether full or partial, including reductions in price) under this Clause 8 will be issued within 14 Calendar Days of the day on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund.

Any such refunds will be issued without undue delay (and in any event within 14 calendar days starting on the date on which We agree that You are entitled to the refund) and made via the same payment method originally used by You unless You request an alternative method. In addition to your legal rights relating directly to the Services, You also have remedies if We use materials that are faulty or incorrectly described.

We have included the information itself either in the Agreement or Quotation for You to see now, or We will make it available to You before We and You sign the Agreement and accept the Quotation.

The following additional Terms and Conditions apply where We provide You with any Design Services
We will talk to You about Your requirements at an initial consultation. (If You wish to factor any critical aspect into the design of the Kitchen, You should identify this to Us at that consultation. If you have a preference for the position and/or style of your sink and/or cooker and/or hob and/or fridge or any other items, You should also identify this to Us at the same time.) If You describe Your Kitchen space and/or give Us any rough measurements at that consultation, We will give You a general assessment of that space at the consultation.
We will then carry out a site survey and take measurements of Your Kitchen but We will not carry out any structural survey or offer or provide opinions or advice structural or other building related matters. We will then give You a report of the survey and measurements. We will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that report except as follows. Where building or other works by Your builders / contractors are yet to be started or completed but You nevertheless require Us to carry out Our survey, take measurements, and provide a survey report before completion of those works, You agree that the following shall apply:
You will be responsible to ensure that your builders / contractors adhere to the measurements and other material features covered by Our survey report.
If We have correctly and accurately both carried out the survey and taken measurements of the Kitchen, and Your builders / contractors then complete their works but they have not adhered to the measurements and other material features covered by Our survey report, there might as a result be material differences between the finished Kitchen space and the details set out in Our survey report, in particular because walls / surfaces / floors / ceilings / doors / windows may have been unknown / not completed when We carried out the survey or took the measurements.
If there are any such material differences, You agree that You will bear any additional costs and expenses arising from them.
Those additional costs and expenses might include Our additional charges for altering the design of/redesigning the Kitchen and for any additional necessary Visits, or, where we provide Fitting and/or Supply Services and We order or supply materials or products which,
due to the material differences, are of the wrong size, type, or number, those additional costs and expenses might include any additional price for Our supply of products, Our additional charges for altering, re-making or replacing those materials or products or other error rectification work, and Our additional charges for any additional necessary Visits.
All such additional charges shall be at Our standard hourly rate of £40.
If You do not wish to accept the risk of such material differences occurring or the costs and expenses arising from them, You must allow Us to defer carrying out Our site survey and taking measurements until after Your building and any other works are complete.
OR
The Design Services will not include carrying out a site survey or taking measurements of Your Kitchen or carrying out any structural survey or offering or providing opinions or advice about structural or other building related matters. You therefore agree that the following shall apply:
In addition to giving Us measurements of the Kitchen, You must give Us all relevant information about the Kitchen, including details of room layout, location of doors, windows, any low ceilings, variation in floor level, and any nibs or boxed-in pipework that may affect the area which might be covered by kitchen cabinets or other items to be fitted.
Unless We agree otherwise, We require all of the information and measurements to be shown on a two-dimensional drawn plan provided by You to the extent that it is practicable to provide information and measurements in the form of such a plan.
We will work exclusively from the information about and measurements of the Kitchen that You or Your appointed agent give Us.
You will be solely responsible for the correctness of all such information and measurements.
In providing the Design Services and any other Services, We will not check, and will not be responsible for checking, that information or those measurements and We will accept no liability for material errors in such information or measurements.
Where such information or measurements is/are materially incorrect and as a result Our design is inappropriate for the Kitchen space in any material respect, or, where we provide Fitting and/or Supply Services, We order or supply materials or products whose size, type, or number is wrong as a result of Us using that materially incorrect information or measurements, You agree that You will bear any resulting additional costs and expenses.
Those additional costs and expenses might include Our additional charges for altering the design of/redesigning the Kitchen, or, where we provide Fitting and/or Supply Services and We order or supply materials or products of the wrong size, type, or number, those additional costs and expenses might include any additional price for Our supply of products, Our additional charges for altering, re-making or replacing those materials or products or other error rectification work, and Our additional charges for any additional necessary Visits.
All such additional charges shall be at Our standard hourly rate of £40.
If You are having relevant building or other works carried out to the Kitchen and those works are only to be completed after You give Us information about or measurements of the Kitchen, there will be a risk that that information or measurements will be materially incorrect (in particular because walls / surfaces / floors / ceilings / doors / windows may be unknown / unfinished at that time so that You cannot compile accurate measurements or complete and accurate information). You should therefore instead defer giving Us that information or measurements until after all relevant building or other work is complete, and if You do not defer doing so, You accept the risk that You may incur additional costs and expenses as
outlined above.
After We have the measurements of Your Kitchen and given You a survey report, We will produce a Provisional Design in writing for the Kitchen and send it to you. The Provisional Design may include alternative suggestions between which you may choose. The Provisional Design will include the following elements:
Description and details of the Design
Floor plan for the re-design of the room
Elevations
Worktop Plan
List of types of parts required for the Design (cabinets, appliances, parts etc.)
Photo-realistic 3D visuals
The Provisional Design will also include an approximate budget for its implementation by Us but it will only be indicative because an exact budget cannot be produced until You have approved a Final Design and We have given You figures for a Quoted Price for the necessary Fitting and/or Supply Services. If You instead intend to engage any third party/ies to implement the Final Design (or an version of a Provisional Design), You should not treat the approximate budget as even indicative of possible costs of implementation.
The Provisional Design will only be Our interpretation of Your requirements based on initial information. It will be Our initial suggestions for design of the Kitchen, and it is intended to form the basis for further discussion with You and to be subject to subsequent changes to meet Your requirements. The initial and any subsequent versions of Provisional Design will not be final or suitable for use for the purpose of providing any Fitting and/or Supply Services or for You to carry out (or arrange to carry out) any similar works.
Once You have considered the Provisional Design We will then develop it through further discussions with You and receipt of any further information or requirements from You. We may, as part of that process, provide You with further suggestions, information and/or materials.
Only when We have confirmed in writing to You that a particular version of the Provisional Design that we have issued to You is final and You have also signed it to indicate Your approval of it, will it become the Final Design which can be implemented.
All versions of Our Provisional Design and all designs, illustrations, descriptions or other items contained in either any sales literature or other material or on our website are only intended to be for general illustrative purposes and We do not represent, warrant or undertake that the Final Design will include or match anything in any such items.
When You to sign off a Provisional Design as the Final Design, it will supersede and replace all versions of Our Provisional Design and all information, materials and requirements which You or We have previously communicated to each other.
Once You have signed-off a final Provisional Design as the Final Design, We will not be responsible if the Final Design does not fully and correctly reflect Your requirements. Therefore, if You are unsure of any aspect of the design, measurements or any technical or other aspect of the design contained in the final Provisional Design, You should raise any query with Us to enable Us to have an opportunity to clarify any Matter and/or amend that final Provisional Design if it is necessary to do so. When You sign the final Provisional Design, that will be Your approval of it and Your confirmation that it meets Your requirements. The Final Design as approved by You will form the basis of any Fitting and/or Supply Services that We provide to You. When You sign the Final Design that will be completion by Us of the Design Services.
Any intellectual property rights in any and all parts of any draft or final Provisional Design, Final Design or any other items or information which We give to You in hard copy or electronic form at any time shall at all times remain Our exclusive property. You or someone on Your behalf may use any such items or information for the sole purpose of implementing Our design for Your Kitchen but You may not copy, reproduce or communicate to any third party any such item or information or use it for any other purpose without Our prior written consent.
The following additional Terms and Conditions apply where We provide You with any Fitting Services
If You order Fitting Services and We produce a final Provisional Design which You then approve as the Final Design by signing a copy of it, We will then carry out the Fitting Services provided that you comply with your obligations under the Terms and Conditions.
If You (or a third party on Your behalf) produces a design for Your Kitchen, We will only provide Fitting Services for You based on it if We specifically agree in writing to do so. If You ask Us to implement any such design, You will need to provide Us with a detailed plan of it with Your Order and We will then confirm in Our discretion whether We are prepared to implement it. (We may decide that We are not able to do so or that Your plan lacks the necessary detail or is unsuitable.) If and when We are prepared to implement it, We will issue a Quotation for Fitting Services based on Your detailed plan and will treat it for the purposes of the Agreement as a Final Design (i.e. a design approved by You).
We undertake that We will fit the Products which We supply to You, if any, together with items (whether appliances or other items) supplied by You, if any, which We have agreed are to be covered by the Fitting Services.

All Products that We use in the Fitting Services will match the Final Design, but We do not represent, warrant or undertake that any such Products will match anything in any designs, illustrations, descriptions or other items contained in either any of Our sales literature or in other material or on our website. All of those designs illustrations, descriptions and other items are only intended to be for general illustrative purposes.

We will take all reasonable steps to protect Your furniture, furnishings and wall and floor coverings in the Property (and that will include Our placing covers over them if and as reasonably practicable) but We cannot take responsibility for any damage which is caused to those items if We have taken such steps. We will not take responsibility for any damage occurring to any items that You leave in place after We begin work where We have previously advised You that they are at risk and/or an obstacle to our work and We have reasonably asked You to move them.
We will not take responsibility for any damage occurring to any property that You leave in the Kitchen after We begin work in it.
We will not be responsible for any damage that We cause to plastering, tiling, decoration, floor, ceiling, door or window in the Kitchen resulting from Our removal of existing fitted cabinets, appliances, lighting, fixtures, fittings or decorations in the Kitchen except where it is due to Our negligence. Unless We have included under “Scope” above any work comprising plastering, painting, papering, tiling, decoration, or ceiling, flooring, window or door removal or installation or other work, We will not be responsible to carry out any such installation or work in the Kitchen.
We will make good at Our own expense any damage that We cause in the course of carrying out the Fitting Services to the plaster, floor, ceiling, walls, rendering or brickwork immediately surrounding any area of the Kitchen, but We do not undertake to replace specialised finishes, such as artex, or surrounding wallpaper or paintwork.
You will be responsible for any cleaning and redecorating and the supply of a suitable waste skip (but not removal of waste into the skip) which is necessary to the Kitchen after We have completed the Fitting Services.
Except as set out above:
We will ensure that the carrying out of the Fitting Services does not cause any damage to items at the Property, to the Property itself or to any items You provide for Us to fit; and
