Unless otherwise expressly agreed, time for Delivery of Goods shall not be of the essence; Buyer shall not be entitled to cancel the order for late Delivery or non-Delivery, unless at the date of the order for Goods Buyer had given Company notice in writing of Buyer’s intention so to cancel in the event that Goods were not delivered within the period proposed by Company for Delivery.

  6. Company shall have no liability to Buyer for any failure or delay in Delivery where such failure is caused by Buyer’s own failure/delay or if Buyer has failed to provide Company with a correct or accurate address for Delivery.

  7. If Buyer fails or delays to take Delivery of the Goods (or fails or delays to collect them if collection has been arranged), save where the failure or delay has been wholly caused by Company’s own failure to comply with its obligations under the relevant Agreement, Delivery shall be deemed to have taken place at 0900 on the agreed Delivery date and risk and responsibility for the Goods shall pass to Buyer at that time on such deemed date. Until Delivery takes place, Company shall store the Goods at the cost and expense (including but limited to storage charges and insurance) of Buyer.

  10. The type and quantity of Goods recorded by Company for despatch to Buyer shall be conclusive of the type and quantity of Goods delivered to Buyer save that Buyer is solely responsible that the Goods are correctly as ordered before laying installing them.

  11. Company in its sole discretion may allow Buyer to return the Goods after Delivery on condition (a) that the Goods have not been removed from their packaging or have been in any way modified, altered, installed or otherwise reduced to a condition whereby they are not saleable in the reasonable opinion of Company; (b) the Goods are not Bespoke Goods as defined in clause 9; (c) the Goods are returned at Buyer’s cost and expense within 30 days of the date of Delivery; and (d) Buyer pays to Company a re-stocking fee, of 20% of the total price of the Goods returned.

  13. Delivery in the UK shall be made as follows:-i) Delivery is “kerbside”, thus Buyer (or end–customer of Goods or other third party as appropriate) is responsible for moving Goods from the “kerbside” into the end–customer’s property where the Goods will be installed.ii) For the avoidance of doubt, the responsibility of Buyer extends also to arranging to have Goods brought up any stairs, whether leading to and / or inside the end-customer’s property; Company may be able to provide assistance in this regard, but Company is not obliged so to do and the risk assessment in each case is at the sole and ultimate discretion of Company’s driver or courier.iii) As deliveries are made by a single driver; such driver will often require assistance to unload large and/or heavy items of Goods; therefore, in the event that such assistance will not be available, Buyer is required to specify this unavailability at the time of placing the order for Goods, in which event Company may require to levy an additional charge for providing the driver with necessary assistance.iv) In relation to any of the foregoing circumstances, subject to clause 5.8(iii) and for avoidance of doubt, Buyer must ensure that adequate assistance, equipment and personnel are available to unload and move the Goods following Delivery.

MAGNUM & ESSENCE LVT RANGES DELIVERY INFORMATION

  1. Ordering ahead of installation also gives you plenty of time to successfully receive Goods as courier deliveries can never be completely guaranteed.

  3. Your delivery date is confirmed once we have processed your order. Standard UK delivery is anywhere between 09:00 and 17:00 hrs, although delivery may be attempted outside of these hours in busy periods.

DELIVERIES

To avoid unnecessary charges, and ensure a smooth delivery process, please adhere to the below:

  • Deliveries can be made on trucks up to 18 tonne and it is assumed that the delivery address will be accessible. Customers must inform the company of any access issues at the time of placing the order. Such issues can include road size, parking, vehicle access issues and other off-loading restrictions but please note this list is not exhaustive.

  • Delivery of flooring is to kerbside so the customer must provide labour to move it into the premises. For larger orders, where an on-site forklift is not available, labour is also required for offloading.

  • If the customer’s order arrives as arranged but the delivery fails because the goods are refused, nobody is at home, or there is inadequate help to unload, then the customer will be held liable for the additional haulage costs.

  • The goods will not be left without signature by the customer, or a responsible/nominated adult selected by the customer. The customer must take care opening the product so as not to damage the goods with sharp instruments.

  • On delivery the customer must check that all delivered goods are as expected. Goods sent incorrectly will be collected at no extra cost to the customer if they are packaged in the original packaging and in good saleable condition.

  • Deliveries can be made anytime between 09:00 and 17:00 so there must be someone to accept Goods else this will result in a failed delivery.

    DAMAGES & DELAYS

    Although all our deliveries are made by reputable companies all delivery firms experience occasional problems which may result in a delay to your order. We recommend that you take delivery and check your flooring prior to finalising fitting arrangements. Please note that we are not responsible for any consequential loss or damages caused by any delays.

    To re-iterate it is always best to order your floor ahead of scheduled fitting in case of delivery problems.

    Delivery charges for delayed deliveries are non-refundable unless we failed to despatch your order on time in which case, we may partially refund your delivery charges at our sole discretion.

    • The Company shall not be held liable for any short delivery of Goods unless written notice is given to the Company within 2 Working Days from the delivery of the remaining Goods. Missing items should be clearly marked on the relevant POD and handed back to the driver.

    • If the delivery note is signed by, or on behalf of the Buyer, Goods shall be presumed to be accepted.

    • If the delivery note is signed, damages and missing goods should be clearly marked on the POD and handed back to the driver

      at the time of delivery.

    • If you are unfortunate enough to receive a damaged or missing item, do make sure it is noted on the courier’s paperwork. No

      claims for damaged or missing items can be claimed once the courier has left the delivery address unless signed as such.

    • Company recommends that the customer follows all health and safety guidelines on the packaging and any other instructions

      relating to the installation of goods. If the customer is unsure about how to install or use the goods, then they should seek advice from a professional floor fitter or appropriate professional.

    • Company will NOT accept claims for faulty, mis-described, or faulty products once the flooring has been installed.

    • Where the Buyer or Fitter / Flooring Contractor has used or installed the floor such use or installation shall be taken as

      conclusive evidence that the buyer has accepted that the goods are in perfect condition.

    • Company will not accept responsibility for any claims that are the result of incorrect use or fitting of any goods supplied.

      You must accept full responsibility for the suitability of the goods ordered and that they are fit for purpose
