              6.2.3 If your method of payment is declined.


7. OUR RIGHT TO VARY THESE TERMS

7.1         We reserve the right to amend these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, changes in market conditions affecting our business and changes in technology, including our internal systems and/or preferred payment methods.

 

7.2         Every time you order Products from us, the Terms in force at the time of your order will apply to the contract between us, unless we notify you of any changes to the Terms before sending you an Order Confirmation. In these circumstances, we will reserve the right to assume that you have accepted any such changes to the Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you must notify us, within 7 days of receiving the amended terms.

 

7.3         If we have to revise these Terms as they apply to your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the contract if you are not happy with the changes. You may cancel either in respect of all the affected Products or just the Products you have yet to receive. If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any delivery/return postal charges.


Your Contract End of the cancellation period
Your Contract is for a single Product (which is not delivered in instalments on separate days).


The end date is the end of 14 days after the day on which you receive the Product.

Example: if we provide you with an Order Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 24 January.


Your Contract is for either of the following:

8. YOUR CONSUMER RIGHT OF RETURN AND REFUND

8.1         If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 during the cancellation periods set out below in clause 8.3. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you must notify us in writing of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund.

 

8.2         However, this cancellation right does not apply to Products which, due to use or damage by you during the cancellation period, cannot be re-sold at full price, or at all. In particular:

             

8.2.1    Mattresses or pillows are exempt from Consumer Contracts Regulations if they have been taken out of sealed packaging in which they were delivered. In the event, once unwrapped, a mattress/divan is discovered to be faulty, we reserve the right to refuse a cancellation/refund if a Mattress protector has not been used and the product is excessively marked or soiled.

 

               8.2.2 Products which are self-assembled will not be accepted for  return once assembly is partly or wholly carried out, unless the  Product is defective; and

               8.2.3 Products of a bespoke nature which have been ordered specifically to your requirements, cannot be cancelled or exchanged (unless defective) without the discretion of management, and may incur a 30% cancellation fee. Any costs incurred in respect of the collection of such goods will be subject to an additional charge over and above the cancellation fee.

 

8.3         Your legal right to cancel a contract starts from the date of the Order Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the contract between us is formed. Your deadline for cancelling the contract then depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered, as set out in the table below:


8.4      To cancel a contract in accordance with your legal right to do so you just need to let us know in writing that you have decided to cancel. We will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation. You can also contact us at Webenquires@cookesfurniture.co.uk or by post to Cookes Furniture, 28 Goosemoor Lane, Erdington, Birmingham, B23 5PN.  If you contact us via written correspondence, please ensure that you include your sales order number so that we can deal with your request as quickly as possible.

8.5     The provisions of clause 8.4 will not apply to any Products which you have bought either online or by telephone which you have previously viewed at one of our stores.

  

            8.5.1 If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.

 

8.6      If you cancel your contract we will:

           8.6.1 Refund the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in one of our stores.

 

           8.6.2 Refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of a Product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.

           8.6.3 make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:

 

          8.6.3.1 If you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 14 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. 

 

         8.6.3.2 If you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.

8.7     If you have returned the Products to us within the relevant cancellation period because they are defective, we will refund the price of the Product in full together with any applicable delivery charge and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.

 

8.8     Refunds will be made to you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If a credit note has been used as a full or part tender for the Product we will issue a new credit note for the original value.

 

8.9      If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your  contract:

 

            8.9.1 Then you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the contract. You can send it back, return it to us in-store or pass it to our authorised carrier. If we have offered to collect the Product from you we will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection;

          8.9.2 Unless the Product is faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Product to us. If the Product is one which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Product to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection. If you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with these Terms. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described, the right to return within 30 days. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this clause 8 or anything else in these Terms.

8.10    Once the relevant cancellation period has expired we shall only accept the return of goods at the discretion of management or in circumstances where the Products are defective.

 

              8.10.1      If you wish to return Products after the expiry of the cancellation period because they are defective, we reserve the right to inspect the Products. Please note that any defective Products must be reported within 3 days of receipt of the Product.

 

8.11 To advise us that you are rejecting faulty Products from our Home Comforts Range please contact us by post or email info@cookesfurniture.co.uk

 

             8.11.1   The initial cost of return postage will be the responsibility of the customer until such time as a confirmation email (this will be sent after the Products have been received back to our premises) in response to the return form request sent by us. Upon receipt of the faulty Products, we will review the original returns request and then take the relevant action.

 

                8.11.2 If upon inspection, we agree that the relevant Product is defective or damaged, we may (i) arrange for the repair of the item in the first instance.

If it is not possible to repair we may (i) arrange for the collection and replacement of the defective Product, or (ii) offer you a full refund (inclusive of delivery charges).

 

               8.11.3 If we do not accept (upon inspection) that we have any legal liability relating to the defects to the Product alleged, we reserve the right to levy a call-out charge, where relevant, for the inspection carried out.

 

8.12      The following product care information forms part of our returns policy:

             8.12.1 Upholstery

             8.12.1.1 Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and only use products recommended by them.

             8.12.1.2 Certain clothing, especially new items and in particular jeans, can transfer dye onto your suite. Please be careful with lighter-coloured fabrics and leather.

             8. 12.1.3 Shading on certain fabrics is considered a characteristic, not a manufacturer's fault.

             8. 12.1.4 Plump and turn cushions daily to ensure longevity in maintaining their volume. It is normal for seat and back cushions to soften with use.

             8. 12.1.5 Suites should be brushed or vacuumed regularly.

             8. 12.1.6 All fabric suites should be professionally cleaned  regularly and will require dressing on a daily basis

             8. 12.1.7 Avoid close contact with direct heat and sunlight. These will cause joints to dry out and fabrics and leathers to fade.

             8. 12.1.8 Do not sit on the arms or allow children/pets to mistreat your furniture.

 

             8.12.1.9 Leather is a natural material so no two hides are ever alike. Any scars and natural markings in the hide are stronger than surrounding areas and are characteristics of genuine leather. Leather also has a tendency to stretch.   Any creases that appear as a result of the leather stretching, especially on cushions, are quite normal. When cleaning always remove surface dust with a soft cloth. If the leather is soiled, use a damp cloth then wipe immediately with a dry soft cloth.

 

             8.12.1.10 Recliners may require some use before the actions will move freely. Some gaps between moving parts are to be expected to allow free movement

             8.12.2 Cabinet

 

            8.13.2.1 Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and only use products recommended by them.

 

            8.13.2.2 Do not use detergents, silicone or spray polishes, they   may leave a residue on the surface affecting the   appearance,

 

            8.13.2.3 Wooden products change colour with exposure to natural and electric light, Leave dining tables fully extended if possible to avoid vast colour differences.

 

            8.13.2.4 Do not rock backwards or stand on dining chairs,

 

            8.13.2.5 We recommend you use good quality table covers /mats to protect your cabinet furniture against water, heat and surface damage.

 

            8.13.2.6 When moving furniture lift carefully, dragging will damage fixings and affect stability.

 

            8.13.2.7 General care/maintenance may be periodically required in the form of tightening removal sections of your cabinet furniture i.e. Bolts on Table legs, door hinges etc. to ensure units are levelled to avoid doors catching or movement caused by daily use.

 

           8.14.3 Beds

 

           8.14.3.1 Always follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and only use products recommended by them.

 

           8.14.3.2 Avoid sitting on the edge of the bed for long periods as this can damage the spring systems.

 

           8.14.3.3 Avoid standing or jumping on your mattress as this can cause the mattress to collapse.

 

           8.14.3.4 Unless otherwise stated, turn your mattress every fortnight for the first six months, and then turn it every four weeks.

 

          8.14.3.5 The average life span of a pillow can be extended by regular plumping; this will also help to maintain the comfort of the pillows.

 

          8.14.3.6. All mattresses are prone to settlement which is deemed a natural characteristic; this will not affect their performance

          8.15    As a retailer we pride ourselves on continually striving to resolve issues for our customers. Unfortunately, this is not always possible and to ensure that our customers are always treated in a fair and just manner we are part of the Alternative, Dispute Resolution Ombudsman. Should you have any issue relating to how we are dealing with your complaint you are able to contact the ombudsman directly. They will review our actions and advise if our proposal is within their guidelines.

 

          8.16 Finance customers have a further right to complain to the Financial Ombudsman directly. If the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved by our finance provider, V12 Retail Finance.

              9.8.1   If you or a nominated adult are not available or the access is not clear and free of any obstruction, then we will not deliver your Products. This will result in a re-delivery of your Products and a further delivery charge will be levied.

9.11      If we miss our estimated delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your order straight away if any of the following apply:

 

              9.11.1    we have refused to deliver the Products, without a good reason;

 

               9.11.2    delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances);

 

              9.11.3    You advised us at the time of placing your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

16.2      An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.

 

16.3      If an Event Outside Our Control takes place that affects the performance of our obligations under a Contract:

 

             (a)        we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and

             (b)        Our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control. Where the Event Outside Our Control affects our delivery of Products to you, we will arrange a new delivery date with you after the Event Outside Our Control is over.

 

16.4      You may cancel a Contract affected by an Event Outside Our Control which has continued for more than 30 days. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form on our website at [ADD LINK] [A link to the website cancellation form will also be included in our Order Confirmation.] If you opt to cancel, you will have to return (at our cost) any relevant Products you have already received and we will refund the price you have paid, including any delivery charges.


17. COMMUNICATIONS

 17.1      When we refer, in these Terms, to "in writing", this will include e-mail

 

 17.2      You may contact us as described in clause 8.4


18. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

18.1      We may transfer our rights and obligations under a Contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.

 

 

18.2      You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these Terms to another person if we agree in writing. However if you are a consumer and you have purchased a Product as a gift, you may transfer the benefit of our warranty in clause 14 to the recipient of the gift without needing to ask our consent. 

 

 

18.3      This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms [However, if you are a consumer, the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our warranty at clause 14, but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.]

 

 

18.4      Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

18.5      If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

 

 

18.6      Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
