2 Information we give you
By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract between you and us is made (see the summary box below). We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Typically, we will do this in store before you buy the goods from us. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in this contract and specifically in clause 18.
Information we will give you
We will give you information on:
the main characteristics of the goods you want to buy;
who we are, where we are based and how you can contact us;
the total price of the goods including any taxes (or where this cannot reasonably be worked out in advance, the manner inwhich we will work out the price);
2.1 The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here).
2.2 If we have to change any key information once a legally binding contract between you and us is made, we can only do this if you agree to it.

4.3 When you decide to place an order for goods with us, this is when you offer to buy such goods from us.
4.4 When you place your order with us, we will acknowledge it in store or by email. This acknowledgement does not, however, mean that your order has been accepted.
4.5 We may contact you to say that we do not accept your order. If we do this, we will try to tell you promptly why we do not accept your order. This might be because the goods are out of stock, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
4.6 We will only accept your order when we confirm this in store or we will email you to confirm this (Confirmation Email). At this point:
4.6.1 a legally binding contract will be in place between you and us; and
4.6.2 we will dispatch the goods to you.
4.7 If you are under the age of 18 you may buy goods from us.
5 Delivery of goods
5.1 If we need to deliver goods to you or you ask that we do so, we use different delivery service providers depending on your location and the nature of the goods. If you want information on your delivery options and costs, speak with us in store before you place your order.

Your goods may vary slightly from those images.
8.4 The measurements of all goods are as accurate as possible but some variation may apply. Please ensure you are aware of the natural characteristics of the materials in the construction of your products, how to care for your products and the normal ageing process. Showroom models may vary in age and therefore your goods may vary in appearance from an older model on the shop floor.

Whilst we make every effort to ensure your product is manufactured from the same fabric batch we cannot guarantee any subsequent orders placed at a later date will match your original order.
