Please read these terms and conditions carefully before ordering any Products from our Website. You should understand that by ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
You will be asked to confirm that you have read and accept these terms and conditions before you can purchase through our Website. Please understand that if you refuse to accept these terms and conditions, you will not be able to order any Products from our Website.

2. How the contract is formed between you and us
Please visit our Ordering page for an explanation of how to place an order with us via this Website.
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. You may also receive an e-mail from our payment service provider confirming that your payment has been processed. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an e-mail that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the “Dispatch Confirmation”). The contract between us (the “Contract”) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.
The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
The Contract between us will consist of (a) your order, (b) our Dispatch Confirmation and (3) these terms and conditions. We will not file the concluded contract between us online and you should therefore print out and retain copies of each element of the Contract. We can only conclude the Contract with you in English and not in any other language.
If we (in our absolute discretion) decline to accept all or part of your order we will notify you as soon as possible and refund to you the price paid by you for the Products in question.
3. Minimum Order Quantities
The following Products listed on this Website are subject to minimum order quantities:
- fabric must be ordered by the linear metre subject to a minimum order of two (2) linear metres in relation to each fabric design ordered; and
- wallpaper must be ordered by the roll subject to a minimum quantity of two (2) rolls in relation to each wallpaper design ordered.
From time to time other Products may be subject to minimum order quantities, which (where applicable) will be indicated alongside the relevant product information posted on this Website.
4. Delivery
Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 7 days of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless exceptional circumstances apply.
Delivery will be via our own transport, Royal Mail or private carrier. The delivery cost is per manufacturer if despatched directly from the manufacturer to you or per parcel if despatched from our own warehouse. Currently the cost is £8.95 per parcel.
5. Risk and Title
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when on dispatch provided we have received full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

The price of any Products will be as quoted on our Website from time to time, (except in cases of obvious error). Unless otherwise stated, prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs. For delivery costs please see above.
Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation.
Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. Where a Product is incorrectly priced, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection. We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at an incorrect price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card through PayPal. We accept payment with Master Card, Maestro, Visa, Amex, Switch, Solo, Visa Electron, Visa Delta and or through your own PayPal account.
