- PROVIDING THE GOODS
7.1 The costs of delivery (and assembly if applicable) will be as displayed to you on our website.
7.2 During the order process we will let you know the approximate time of delivery, or collection availability. Any times given by us, or set out on the website, are estimates only. Time is not of the essence. We will give you at least 7 days’ notice of when the goods are to be delivered or are ready for collection.
7.3 If we are not able to deliver all of the goods you have ordered at the same time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the goods in installments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask us to deliver your order in installments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each installment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these terms. If we are late delivering an instalment, or one of the items ordered is delivered faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel the whole of your order.
7.4 If our supply of the goods is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.
7.5 If you have asked to collect the goods from us, we will, in the order confirmation, state the specific store from which collection should take place, and collection can be made at any time during our working hours (as set out in Clause 2.7)
7.6 It is your responsibility to ensure that we can deliver the goods to you:
- You must, before the date of delivery, inform us of any matter that could restrict or affect delivery including, but not limited to, narrow lanes, parking restrictions, steps, narrow corridors or obstructions.
- We will deliver the goods to the front of your property or, if there are any parking or delivery restrictions and you have not informed us of this, as near to the property as possible. As some goods are heavy, you should have suitable arrangements in place to take the goods inside of your property.
- We will only deliver the goods to the inside of your property where (i) we have agreed in writing; or (ii) we have agreed to assemble the goods, and you have paid the additional assembly charge. You should arrange a clear, unobstructed access route to where the goods are to be placed, and in the case of assembly, the area should be clear and there should be sufficient space for us to assemble the goods. You should make sure that all and any goods will be of a size that will enter your property and be taken to the place of assembly with ease. Where we agree to assemble the goods we will not be liable for any damage caused due to nature of the goods being assembled (for example, moving a bed into position once assembled could mark carpets or wooden flooring).
- If we cannot gain access to your property due to one of the reasons set out in this clause 7.6, we will leave the goods at the nearest point possible to your property. If we are requested not to leave the goods, then we shall arrange another delivery date with you however, we will charge you further delivery costs;
- If we are uplifting any items from your property, they must be fully dismantled by you.
- If, on the day of delivery, you request us to assembly the items (where we have not agreed in advance), we may do so at our absolute discretion and upon payment of an additional assembly charge.
7.7 If you are not at home when the goods are delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the goods, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the goods from us or from a local depot. We reserve the right to charge additional delivery costs.
7.8 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the goods from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and Clause 10.2 will apply.
7.9 The goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the goods to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.
7.10 You own the goods once we have received payment in full.
- YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
8.1 Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
(a) If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the goods repaired or replaced), see Clause 12 if you are a consumer and Clause 13 if you are a business;
(b) If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see Clause 8.2;
(c) If you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the goods, see Clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;
(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see Clause 8.6.
8.2 Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any goods which have not been provided. The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the goods or these terms which you do not agree to (see Clause 6.2);
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the goods you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
(c) there is a risk that delivery of the goods may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
(d) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
8.3 Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most goods bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
8.4 Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
(a) any goods that we make specifically to your requirements (bespoke goods); and
(b) goods sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them (for example, mattresses and pillows).
8.5 How long do consumers have to change their minds. You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery unless you have specifically requested us to deliver in instalments, in which case you will have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives received each instalment to change your mind (see Clause 7.3.).
8.6 Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see Clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the goods are delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for goods not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract.
- HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US (INCLUDING IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER WHO HAS CHANGED THEIR MIND)

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
9.5 What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the goods from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.

9.6 If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the goods including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
9.7 When we may make deduction from refunds if you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
(a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop, for example, the goods returns must be in a brand new condition, packed in its original packaging for transport, not used, worn or slept on. Mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows should not be opened until you are completely certain that you want to keep the goods. If you wish to test a mattress, mattress topper or pillow, please keep the goods wrapped until you are completely satisfied with the feel of the goods. Once you have opened the goods they are exempt to any return as they are sealed for hygienic reasons. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;
(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a goods within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the goods delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
9.8 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:
(a) If we have not offered to collect the goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the goods back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the goods back to us.

If the good’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
