1. Products
  • 1.1 All images, product descriptions and product advertising are for illustrative purposes only. Although we make every effort to accurately reflect the products in those materials we cannot guarantee that they are error free or, in the case of images, that the colour, size, finish or scale of the products will be accurately reflected as this is dependent on factors outside our control (including your web browser settings and screen settings). We recommend ordering a sample or tester to ensure that you are happy with the colour and finish of the product before ordering the required quantity for your project. These terms also apply to any order for samples or testers that you place on us.
  • 1.2 You should satisfy yourself that the products are suitable for your particular purposes by checking the technical information given with the product description on this website and on the product packaging. If you have any doubts we recommend that you seek specialist advice or contact our customer service team.
    1.3 The technical information will give you an indication of the amount of product required to cover a certain area but this may vary depending on factors outside our control including the surface to which you apply the product. We recommend adding a margin of 10% to your calculation. You are responsible for and should check any calculation that you make for the amount of product required. Please note that, if you have any product left over at the end of your project, we can only accept returns if they are in accordance with our returns policy.
  • 1.4 We have an ongoing product development programme, therefore our products and product ranges may change. Please check that the product specification meets your requirements before placing an order for products.
  • 1.5 The packaging of the products may vary from the images shown on our website.
    All products shown on our website are subject to availability.
  • 1.6 All products are supplied for domestic and private use only.
2. Order Process
  • 2.1 Your Order Confirmation / Acknowledgement will set out all the details of your order. Please take the time to check that all the details of your order (including quantities and delivery address) are correct before you proceed to payment.
  • 2.2 If we accept your order we will send you an e-mail confirmation; a legally binding contract will not come into existence until we send such confirmation. The contract terms will include these terms and the terms included in each of the website pages expressly referred to in these terms (in each case a link to the relevant page has been included).
  • 2.3 If we are unable to supply you with any products, for example because they are not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our website we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process that part of your order. If you have already paid for the products we will refund you for the full amount paid and, if the only products in your order, any delivery charges as soon as possible. If there has been an error in price and you decide that you want to buy the products at the correct price then (if the products are still available) you may place a new order in accordance with these terms.
3. Prices and Payment
  • 3.1 The price you pay for the products is the price displayed on our website from time to time. All prices include VAT at the applicable current rate but exclude delivery charges.

  • 4.2 Delivery will be completed when we deliver the products to the address you gave us and from that time the products will be your responsibility.
  • 4.3 The contents of your order and your delivery postcode area will determine which delivery services will be offered. We will select the most appropriate carrier for the products you order. This means your delivery may arrive in more than one batch to ensure that the products you order are transported by the most appropriate means.
  • 4.4 If delivery of the products 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.
