3. SELECTING YOUR PRODUCTS AND PLACING AN ORDER

• 3.1 Pictures and Packaging. Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on the Website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your chosen device will display colours accurately which reflect the colour of the products. Your product and its packaging may vary from that shown in images on the Website.

• 3.2 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the Website and as summarised in your shopping basket when you place your order.

• 3.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, and this is noticed before fulfilment of your order, we will try and contact you for your instructions. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any products provided to you.

• 3.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. You must pay for the products before we dispatch them. Please note that payment for your entire order is taken immediately when your order is confirmed (unless the order is confirmed on a weekend or an English or Scottish bank holiday, in which case payment will be taken the next working day). You will be able to pay for your order either directly using your card details on the Website or via third-party payment provider, PayPal.

• 3.5 What to do if you think an amount or invoice is wrong. If you think you have paid an incorrect amount for your order, please contact us promptly to let us know.

• 3.6 Before you place an order:

  • 3.6.1 Registration option - We will ask you whether you want to register for a Customer Account with us (to save you entering your personal information each time you place an order with us) or check-out your basket as a guest without registration. Both options will require that you provide us with certain information so that we can fulfill your order(s); for example: (1) your contact details; (2) delivery details; and (3) up-to-date payment information. This will be stated on the Website when you place your order with us.

  • 3.6.2 Shopping basket summary - Please check your shopping basket summary carefully to ensure that it contains full and accurate information for the products that you are ordering, and for all price, payment and delivery information. This includes (without limitation) checking that the ordered products have the correct description. You are responsible for checking that the ordered products meet your particular needs and you should check measurements carefully. There are many factors you should consider, including without limitation grout joints breakages and wastage, aborted and inaccurate cuts and tiles for spares.

• 3.7 Incorrect Personal Information. If the information you have provided is found to be inaccurate or insufficient for any reason, we will contact you to ask for additional or revised information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us further incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 8 will apply) and/or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information, we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

• 3.8 Check before fixing or installing - Some products that we supply have variations of shading, size, and finish. Depending on the nature of the products supplied, a degree of variation of shading is acceptable and may have natural imperfections. These are not faults. In any event, you are responsible for checking the satisfactory degree of shading variation and satisfactory nature of the products (including, without limitation, any damage) before any of the products are installed or fixed and if you are not satisfied with the shading, size or finish, you must inform us in writing before proceeding with installation or fixing. To the extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible for any losses incurred if you do not adhere to this. In addition, to ensure that you do not waste any money, you should book an installation or fixing by your selected professional service after you are happy that the products have been delivered in full and to the standard expected.
