As a user of this website (referred to as “you/ your”) you acknowledge that any use of this website including any transactions you make is subject to our Terms and Conditions below.

1. General

 

1.1 We reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time. It is your responsibility to read the Terms and Conditions on each occasion that you use this website, and your continued use of the website shall signify your acceptance to be bound by the latest Terms and Conditions.

1.2 If you are not a consumer, you confirm that you have the authority to bind any business on whose behalf you use this website.

1.3 Certain website services will require registration and subsequent access to those services will be subject to an approved login name and password (“Password Details”). Information that you provide on this website must be accurate and complete. All Passwords Details are accepted and may be withdrawn at our sole discretion. They are exclusive to you, non-transferable and must be treated as strictly confidential at all times. In the event that you have any concerns regarding your Password Details or become aware of any misuse, you must inform us immediately.

2. Order Process

2.1 All orders that you place with Carpet Shop Online will be subject to acceptance in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

2.2 The ‘confirmation/Payment’ stage sets out the final details of your order. Following this, we will send to you an order acknowledgement email/call detailing the products you have ordered & delivery day/times. Once we have received your order we will check the necessary information such as stock levels and pricing.

 

3. Delivery

3.1 Our ‘Free Delivery’ service on this website is only for delivery of products to customers with mainland UK addresses that are not located in Grampian or Highland or off-shore areas. Orders made for delivery to Highland or Grampian areas will be required to pay an additional surcharge. We can deliver to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Orkney, Shetland and the Scottish Islands but a delivery surcharge will be required for these areas. All goods must be signed for by an adult aged 18 years or over upon delivery. We do not deliver to Ireland or Northern Ireland.

3.2 Delivery charges and estimated timescales are specified in the Delivery Information section. We make every effort to deliver goods within the estimated timescales, however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors, and deliveries of multiple items may arrive on separate days or on different deliveries. We are under no liability for any delay or failure to deliver the products within the estimated timescales.

3.3 Risk of loss and damage of products passes to you on the date when the products are delivered or the date that the first delivery is attempted by us.

3.4 Delivery is to the nearest kerbside of your address. Some drivers are happy to take items to your front door or into the property upon request, but this is at their discretion and we cannot guarantee that they will do this. We cannot be held liable if any damage occurs as a result of items being taken into the property.

3.5 Please note that Carpet Shop Online strongly advises that you do not book your fitter or landscaper until you have received and checked your order, as we are not liable for any installation costs or lost wages.

3.6 Please note that in some circumstances an item being delivered may be heavier than the driver is able to lift. In these cases it is a customer’s responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient equipment and personnel available at the point of delivery to assist with unloading of the vehicle or, alternatively, be able to provide smaller cut down sizes for the product ordered that can be delivered to the kerbside and unloaded without assistance.

4. Payment

4.1 We take payment from your card or PayPal account at the time that we receive your order, once we have checked your order value, card or PayPal details. Goods are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply the goods ordered, we will inform you of this as soon as possible. Should you wish to cancel at this point a full refund will be given where you have already paid for the goods. Additional Terms and Conditions for payments made by PayPal can be found at www.paypal.co.uk

4.2 To ensure that your credit, debit, charge card or PayPal account is not being used without your consent, we will validate your name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these Terms and Conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, and that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

4.3a The price you pay is the price displayed on the product page of this website for your specified size(s) at the time we receive your order. While we try to ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.

4.3b The price of flooring is determined by the unit price or square metre price stated on the website at the time an order is placed. In the event that an incorrect price is calculated and paid we reserve the right to cancel the order and/or to contact the buyer for any additional payment that is required as a result of the error.

4.4 Payment can be made by PayPal or debit/ credit cards.

4.5 Ownership to any products you order with Carpet Shop Online shall pass to you on delivery of the products provided that we have processed and received payment in full for the products.

4.6 All prices are shown in £ sterling and include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates and include the standard delivery charges, unless expressly stated otherwise.

5. Returns, Cancellations and Substitutions

5.1 When ordering from Carpet Shop Online via the website or over the phone you have a right to cancel and/or return your order up to 30 days after receiving your order. Some products are excluded from this policy for example items which are cut to your bespoke size or ordered in such as Karndean/Quick Step/Lifestyle (please inquire for the list). Please note you will be responsible for the organisation and cost of returning the item(s) to us- if the goods have been delivered. All items must be returned in the same packaging and condition in which they were received by you. You will also be responsible for restocking & cutting charges (around 30% of the order value – subject to order type/value). The restocking fee is applicable even when goods are in transit or left our supplier before you have received the goods. Goods in transit will still have the restocking fee applicable.

5.2 In the unlikely event that you receive faulty or damaged goods, please contact us prior to cutting and/or fitting the item(s) and we will arrange for the faulty or damaged goods to be collected and replaced. Unfortunately if any ordered item is removed from its original condition (for example cut and fitted) we will be unable to replace or give a full refund for the item(s).

5.3 Sometimes the product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will do our best to offer you a similar alternative. We may experience problems with the supply of certain products and may therefore supply a substitute of the same or better quality at the same price. If you are not happy with the replacement or substitute you can return it in accordance with our 30-day money back guarantee. Where applicable, you may cancel your order in accordance with your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations. 5.4 For collections we do require that the item is well wrapped ready for transit, if packaging is needed we can send this out to you. The collection is from the nearest kerbside of the property and the driver may need help loading if the collection item is heavy. If the item is not wrapped or you are unable to bring it out to the kerbside at the time of collection the collection may not be completed.

9. Carpet & Flooring Specific Conditions of Sale

9.1 When you receive your order, please remove all packaging and thoroughly check the ordered item(s) before booking your flooring fitter to ensure it is the correct quality, size, pattern and colour as you expected, and free from damage and/or defects. Once you have cut into and/or fitted the item, you are the owner and carpetshoponline.co.uk cannot be held responsible for any exchanges or fitting costs.

(a) Packaging and the product itself can include staples or sharp objects. Please ensure that you or your fitter have checked the product thoroughly for such items and removed all such packaging with care before securing the item(s) for everyday usage. Carpet Shop Online cannot be held liable for any injuries incurred by anyone where item(s) purchased have been installed without being thoroughly checked for sharp objects prior to or during the installation process.

9.2 Please note, we are unable to guarantee an exact colour match on different rolls. If an exact colour match is required please contact us at the time of ordering and we will do all that we can to help. An exact colour match is especially hard to achieve when different widths have been used, or the flooring has been ordered on different dates.

9.3 All pile carpets, especially plain grounds, are liable (after they have been in use for some time) to shading, i.e. to show light and dark patched areas. This is due to uneven pressing of the surface by treading. Light and delicately shaded carpets are liable to become soiled with wear and it may appear that the colours have faded. Both tendencies are inherent in all pile fabrics and therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for complaints arising from either of these causes.

9.4 All dimensions are in accordance with British Standards 3655 (1974) +/- 1.25% in width and/or length.

9.5 Whilst every effort is made to deliver goods on the day specified, this service is not guaranteed. We cannot offer compensation as a consequence for late or early delivery. Any information given regarding anticipated delivery times or dates are given in good faith.

10. Please note we have a cap in place for the number of free samples posted. We will cancel free sample orders if we feel this is being abused with repeated orders.
