Delivery

7.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Product shall take place at the address specified by the Buyer on the date specified by the Seller. The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Products.
7.3 Because our Products are made to order our manufacturing and delivery lead times vary throughout the year depending on demand. The lead times range mainly between 4 to 6 weeks from the point of order,
7.4 The date of the delivery specified by the Seller when placing the order is an estimation only. Time of the delivery shall not be the essence of the contract and while every reasonable effort will be made to comply with such date, compliance is not guaranteed, and the Buyer shall have no rights to damages or to cancel the order for failure for any cause to meet any delivery date stated.
7.5 Severe weather conditions. From time to time, severe weather conditions (heavy snow, strong winds, storms) may occur which may mean that we are unable to deliver and if applicable begin work to install your Product. We will act as quickly as we are able to, to inform you and to reschedule the delivery and installation of the Product as soon as is reasonably practicable.
7.6 We require the Buyer to be present when we arrive to install the Product (not applicable to supply only). Once the installation team is settled the Buyer may choose to leave. However, we require the person whose name appears on the invoice to be present on completion of the installation as part of our sign-off procedure.
7.7 If no one is available at your address to take delivery we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery. This will be subject to additional costs.
7.8 If after a failed delivery, you do not re-arrange delivery we will contact you for further instructions. Any additional costs incurred by us to make a return visit will be payable by the Buyer. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery we may end the contract.
Delivery Criteria
7.9 The base for delivery of the Product must be solid and on a flat surface. Access must be clear with a walkable route for two members of the Seller’s installation team to comfortably carry larger items.
