RETURNS AND REFUNDS
We hope you are happy with your purchase, however if you are not, please note the following terms.
If you discover any product fault due to poor manufacture we will repair or replace the furniture at no cost to you. We will only replace items as “like for like,” which means you cannot change size, fillings or fabric. This guarantee does not include normal wear and tear. Changes may be made at an additional cost, please request a quote from one of our sales representatives.
We reserve the right of discretion to accept/refuse the return of any Products supplied.
If returned, Products must be returned to us in an acceptable saleable condition at the buyer’s cost, and we reserve the right to reasonable deductions from the refund amount to you if there are signs of wear and/or damage to the Products. It is not possible to cancel any order of Bespoke Products either prior to or after delivery.
Any agreed refunds will be made as a credit to the HL DALE Customer Account via the original payment method. Any variation to this is strictly at the discretion of the Management.
In the event that you order Products and arrange for them to be shipped to a location outside the UK Mainland. You still have the right to return the Products, however, it is your responsibility to arrange for the Products to be shipped back to the UK Mainland. We can collect the Products from any address on the UK Mainland (e.g. a relative’s house or a storage and shipping facility at your cost) However we cannot collect Products directly from a vessel at a port.
BESPOKE ORDERS
Bespoke designs must be accepted and confirmed by you in writing before production can begin, this is to avoid any misunderstandings between the parties.
We will provide you with an estimate of the time it takes to complete a particular job depending on the complexity of the design and the materials to be used.
If you provide us with an image, we cannot guarantee an exact match unless it is accompanied with complete technical drawings. Client drawings produced by us for signing off will be charged at £50 per hour for any drawing revisions after three standard free revisions. We reserve the right to modify dimensions to ensure the functionality, look and comfort of the final design.
There may occur slight differences in dimensions due to the materials within the build. If the furniture is designed to fit a specific space, please let us know when placing the order.
Once you have confirmed an order any changes are charged at £50, and changes may affect both the delivery schedule and the cost. You are completely liable for any costs due to your requested changes; HLD DALE is not responsible for any costs associated with these changes.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
In no event will we be liable to you for any third-party claim or for any consequential, direct, incidental or special damages, including without limitation, any lost profits or lost savings, regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict product liability or otherwise, even if it was foreseeable or the possibility of such damages was brought to attention.
