Your use of any information or materials on this website is entirely at your own risk, for which we shall not be liable. It is your own responsibility to ensure that any products, services or information available through this website meet your specific needs and requirements.

The contract between us

We must receive payment of the whole of the price for the goods that you order before your order can be accepted. Your payment of the price for the goods represents an offer on your part to purchase the goods, which will be accepted by us when we send to you an email that the goods have been sent to you. Our acceptance of your order brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.

Price

The prices payable for goods that you order are as set out in our website. They are subject to alterations without notice.
You may be required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our delivery charges are set out in our website.

Colour reproduction

We make every effort to display accurately on our website the colours of our products. However we cannot guarantee that the colour you see on your monitor’s display accurately reflect the colour of the product on delivery. This is because we are limited by the technology we use to deliver our website pages to you, and by the specifications of your own monitor and computer.
Please note that the colours of the products delivered to you are the best possible matches using our tinting machines and there may be slight variations in colour between the colour represented on our website (or the colour you request directly with us) and the colour of the product delivered to you. Our colours are tinted specifically to your request, this means that some colours may result in a nominal finished volume to the pack size ordered.

Proper use of products

We can provide technical data sheets and health and safety sheets for all products supplied by the Group. You must contact us to obtain the most recent version of these sheets.
You must always refer to the most recent technical data sheets for products purchased for the correct application methods and coverage rates.

We supply all products to you on the condition that we cannot be held responsible in the event they are used for any other purpose than that specified by the manufacturer.

If we give any recommendations and advice, such recommendations and advice are given without legal responsibility. We shall not be liable to you in the event of damage to goods or injury to persons resulting from your negligent or improper use or handling of goods, your employees or your agents or members of the general public, or any loss of profit or contracts or other consequential losses of any kind however caused.

The Owner disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of the information contained in any of the materials on this website to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The Owner shall not be liable to any person for any loss or damage which may arise from advice given or from the use of any of the information contained in any of the materials offered on this website.

Complaints

You must submit your Complaint in writing to our offices which we will acknowledge within 7 working days of receipt of your complaint. The Group agrees to provide a likely timescale to resolve the dispute and will keep you informed about the progress of your complaint.

Cancellation of order

Once an official order has been accepted cancellation of the contract will be at our discretion. A cancellation will not be accepted in any circumstances where a product has been specially made to fulfil the order.

Cancellation by us

We reserve the right to cancel the contract between us if:
(a) we have insufficient stock to deliver the goods you have ordered;
(b) we do not deliver to your area; or
(c) one or more of the goods you have ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error on our website, or an error in the pricing information received by us from our suppliers.
(d) we are not fully satisfied that your intention to use the product is for safe and/or legal purposes. Our decision in this regard is entirely at our discretion and such decision is final.
(e) you either order solvents on their own or order solvents disproportionately to any paint ordered.

If we cancel your contract, we will notify you by email and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

Return of goods

It is our policy not to accept the return of goods. In exceptional circumstances standard products may be returned to us within 14 days of date of delivery provided that the customer has written agreement from the Owner to such a return. No claims will be accepted for returns outside this period. Goods are to be returned at the customer’s expense to the original source of supply as specified by the Owner and a re-stocking charge of 20% of the listed price will be made for goods that are of merchantable quality as determined by the Owner. Any refund will be less the original carriage cost.

Please note:
• If tins and original packaging are opened then we will not be able to offer you a refund.
• We are unable to offer refunds on items that have been especially made to a specific colour.

Return shipment will be at your own cost. We cannot arrange a third party collection on your behalf.
You will be responsible for any loss or damage to the goods during transit. Therefore we suggest that you use a carrier who offers shipment tracking and that you insure the package for its full value.

Delivery

We will deliver the goods ordered by you to the address you give us for delivery at the time you make the order.
Delivery will be made as soon as possible after your order is accepted and in any event within 30 days of your order.

You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.

If we provide you with a time or date for delivery, it is intended as an estimate only and the Owner shall not be liable to make good any damage or loss whether arising directly or indirectly out of the delay in delivery.

If we give you a period for delivery and such period is not extended by mutual consent in writing or under the provisions mentioned below, you shall take delivery within that period.

Any date or period for delivery stated is given as an estimate only and is not binding on the Owner.

Deliveries may be wholly or partially suspended and the time of such suspension added to the original contract in the event of a stoppage, delay or interruption of work in the establishment of either the Owner or the customer during the delivery period as a result of strikes, lock-outs, trade disputes, breakdown, accident or any cause whatsoever beyond the control of the Owner or the customer respectively.

In the event of an outbreak of hostilities (whether war is declared or not) in which the United Kingdom is involved (or any country that any of the Group companies are located in), or in the event of National Emergency, or if the Owner should become either directly or indirectly so engaged on Government orders or orders under priority directions as to prevent or delay work on other orders, the Owner shall be entitled at any time, on notice to the customer, to make partial deliveries only or to determine the contract, without prejudice in any case to rights accrued in respect of deliveries already made.

All goods supplied by the Owner are on an ex-works basis unless otherwise agreed in writing between you and us.

We will not entertain any claim for damage in transit, shortage of delivery, or loss of goods will be unless in the case of damage in transit or shortage of delivery, a separate notice in writing is given to the carrier concerned and to the Owner at the time of delivery and the Owner receives a complete claim in writing at its head office within three days of delivery, and in the case of loss of goods, the Owner and the carrier concerned receive, in the case of the Owner at its head office, a complete claim in writing made within fifteen days from date of despatch.

Defective goods

On delivery please inspect your goods immediately and advise us within 24 hours of receipt if the goods are damaged. Our carriers do not accept responsibility for damaged goods beyond this 24 hour period.
Goods represented by the customer to be defective shall not form the subject of any claim for work done by the customer or for any loss, damage or expense whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from such defects, but such goods, if returned to the Owner and accepted by them as defective, will at the request of the customer and if practicable be replaced as originally ordered. Defects in quality or dimensions in any delivery shall not be a ground for cancellation of the remainder of the order or contract.
Risk and title

When the Owner provides the products to the carrier for delivery to the customer, or where applicable when the customer or its nominated carrier collect the products from the Owner premises, the risk in the products supplied shall pass to the customer.
The Owner will ensure that the products are insured to their replacement value against loss or damage while in transit with the the Owner carrier except where the products are collected by the customer or its nominated carrier.
