Delivery

Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Customer. Once goods have been delivered to the Customer they will be held at the Customer’s risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.

 

If the Customer is not in to receive their delivery on a prior agreed date, they will incur another delivery charge.

 

We shall use our best endeavours to secure delivery within our advertised timescales but shall not be liable for loss occasioned by delay in delivery arising out of any cause beyond our control, such as the availability of goods from third parties.

 

If the Customer orders items with different availability dates, we will hold all the items until the last item is delivered. The Customer may however choose to have each item delivered separately and we reserve the right to charge the Customer for each separate delivery.

 

Once you receive your items, please do not store them away for later inspection, as if any goods received are damaged, faulty or incomplete, you must notify us within 24 hours of delivery via email or telephone, quoting your order number for reference. Please open each box and check thoroughly for damages. The Customer should not arrange for installation of the Goods until they have been delivered and checked for correctness, damage and shortages by the Customer.

 

The Customer agrees to accept delivery within 1 month of the order being fully available. In the event of the Buyer not accepting the goods within this period, the Company reserves the right to charge for the storage and insurance of the goods.

 

Upon delivery of a Product the Customer should carefully inspect the Goods for damages or shortages and advise the company of the same within 24 hours. If any of the Goods are damaged or lost the Customer must not accept delivery of the damaged items. The Customer must make a note on the delivery driver’s notes and inform of us of the damage as soon as possible so that a claim can be made against the courier company. Please do not fit any damaged goods, as we will be unable to replace or refund damaged items which have been installed. If you find your goods are damaged, please get in touch with us and we'll do our best to help.

Upon signing, responsibility for these products passes on to the Customer, and any risk of damage or loss is assumed by the Customer. We are not responsible for any goods received or unpacked by anyone other than the Customer, so please ensure that person is present to check and sign for the goods at the supplied delivery address.

 

For palletised deliveries, the goods will be delivered as close as possible to your front door. If this location is unreachable for any reason, such as being located on a narrow street, up a flight of stairs (such as flats), or due to any other obstruction, delivery will be made to as near to your property as possible. Also for palletised deliveries, the driver is NOT insured to take the goods inside the Customer’s property. It is strongly recommended that at least 2 able bodied persons are available to receive the delivery and carry the goods inside.

 

Returns

Non-Faulty goods will only be accepted for return if you requested to return them in writing within 14 days of the goods being delivered.

 

If for any reason you wish to return your purchase, with the exception of erring, we will offer a refund or an exchange as long as this is requested within 14 days of receiving your order. As the customer you have a duty to care for the product while it is in your possession. We cannot refund Products that have been damaged while in your possession. Your legal rights are not affected. Products must be returned unused and in their original packaging and accompanied by the order confirmation. Hyde Parks Bathrooms Limited is not liable for postage, shipping or taxes due on returned goods. Please take into account postage and shipping times when returning goods.

Any time or date stated on a quotation or order, or given verbally, is given as an estimate only by the Company. Buyers are advised to only commit to an installation schedule once the goods have been received and checked. The Company shall not be liable for any costs or other losses incurred by the Buyer, their agents or any other third party due to an installation schedule committed to by the Buyer prior to the goods being received and checked.

The Company shall be entitled to make partial deliveries or deliveries by instalments. Each instalment shall be a separate agreement to which all the provisions of these conditions shall apply. Signature of any note by an agent, employee or representative of the Buyer shall be conclusive proof of delivery. The Buyer or their agent will inspect the goods upon delivery and immediately advise the Company of any discrepancies or damage for investigation. No claims for shortages or damages will be entertained once the driver or carrier has left. The Company will not accept back any ceramics or baths after delivery. Quantities of goods supplied should be confirmed at point of delivery; subsequent claims for shortages will not be accepted. Risk of loss or damage to the Goods passes to the Buyer when the Goods are accepted by the Buyer, the Buyer’s representative or agent.

 

Risk and Title

All Goods remain the property of the Company until such time as they are paid for in full. The Goods shall be the responsibility of the Buyer and at the Buyer’s risk from delivery.

 

For the purposes of these Terms, “delivery” is completed on the completion of unloading the Goods at the delivery location specified on the order acceptance form.

 

From the time of delivery until property in the Goods passes to the Buyer in accordance with these Terms the Buyer shall insure for their full value with a reputable insurance office. Upon request, the Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to have the Company’s interest in the Goods noted on the insurance policy. Until property in the Goods passes to the Buyer the Buyer shall hold the proceeds of any claim on the insurance policy on trust for the Company and shall immediately account to the Company with the proceeds. Until property in the Goods has passed, the Buyer is in possession of the Goods in a fiduciary capacity and shall not part with possession of the Goods; take proper care of the Goods and take all reasonable steps to prevent any damage or deterioration of them; and keep the Goods free from any charge, lien or other encumbrance and store the Goods in such a way as to show clearly that they belong to the Company. The Company reserves the right to repossess and resell any of the Goods to which it has retained title. The Company’s consent to the Buyer’s possession of the Goods and any right the Buyer may have to possession of the Goods shall in any event cease upon the Buyer becoming insolvent.

 

Warranty and Liability

The Buyer agrees to check the goods on receipt and inform the Company of any defects within 48 hours of delivery.

 

Any goods that are incorrectly delivered by the Company to the Buyer have to be returned in resaleable condition, unused and in original packaging.

 

If there are any obvious defects to the goods at the time of delivery The Buyer agrees to note this on the Proof of Delivery slip at the time of delivery. If, after the goods have been fitted, The Buyer finds a fault, the Company reserves the right to request the manufacturer or a registered engineer to contact The Buyer or make a house visit to confirm the fault.

 

If the goods are faulty the Buyer may return the goods free of charge by calling the Company’s sales office. On no account must the goods be returned directly to the Company’s delivery depot without the Company instructions. If the Buyer returns any goods directly to the Company’s warehouse, no refund will be given.

 

The Company shall endeavor to transfer to the Buyer the benefit of any manufacturer’s guarantee given to the Company.

 

If the Company arranges for any goods to be repaired, the Buyer also has to provide a copy of the invoice which relates to the goods. Failure to show that the Buyer has purchased the goods from the Company may result in the repair becoming chargeable. (If a repair is chargeable, the Company will tell you in advance.) Repair turnaround time is dependent on the relevant manufacturer’s current workload. The Company will not accept any claims for losses the Buyer suffers during this time.

 

If a fault is caused to the goods by accident, misuse or negligence, or it occurs outside the warranty period, it will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Service estimates for an item not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty will be chargeable. An estimate will be emailed (or sent to the Buyer by post if the Company do not have an email address for the Buyer) and confirmation of acceptance is required within 10 days. Where such acceptance is not received the goods will be returned not repaired and a charge may be payable.

The liability of the Company is also subject to compliance by the Buyer with all the terms contained in this contract.

 

The Company shall, in relation to the Goods and Services, have no obligation to the Buyer, other than the express obligations contained in these conditions or in any other document expressly incorporated in writing into the Contract. Accordingly, it shall be for the Buyer to insure against any liability arising from the performance of the Services and from its use of the Goods.

 

Although the Company offers comprehensive advice on the goods supplied, the Company shall not be held liable for the suitability of goods, as full installation details cannot be determined at point of sale. All goods purchased for installation should be confirmed to be suitable by the Buyer and/or the Buyer’s installer or agent.

 

Ceramic tiles and natural stone colours can vary considerably over a period of time. Samples are therefore for general guidance and are not necessarily identical to current stock. If the Company supplies the Buyer with samples or illustrations, whether physically, in a catalogue or electronically please note these are meant only as examples and are limited to media reprinting of true colour or electronic media capabilities.

 

Colour shades of the same tile can vary from size to size and from batch to batch due to the manufacturing process. The Company are therefore not liable for any of these variations. Repeat or subsequent orders can therefore not be guaranteed to be the same size, calibration or colour shade.

 

It is the Buyer’s responsibility to inspect all tiles once on site for suitability and colour representation in comparison to any samples they may have seen in the Company’s showroom or warehouse.

 

If the Buyer believes that the Company has delivered goods, which are incorrect or defective in material or workmanship, the Buyer must:-

1.    not use the tiles in any way: and

2.    inform the Company (in writing), with full details, as soon as possible; and

3.    allow the Company to investigate (the Company may need access to your premises and product samples).

 

If tiles have been adhered to walls or floors in any way the Company will not be in a position to enter into discussions with you regarding any of the above and use of a batch of tiles deems your acceptance of those tiles.

 

Cancellations by the Buyer

 

Cancellations will only be considered if reported within 30 days of the delivery date.

 

There are two groups of products supplied by the Company. Stock products, defined as: – all products currently held in stock. Non stock products, defined as ‘Specials': any product that is not held in stock. Special products cannot be cancelled or returned and will be charged for in full.
