Definitions: In these conditions the term ‘Seller’ means AJ & D Chapelhow (Cliburn) Ltd and or any of its subsidiary and or associated companies, and the term ‘Purchaser’ means the Purchaser and or any of its subsidiary and associated companies.

These terms apply to both businesses and consumers. In some areas the Purchaser will have different rights under these terms depending on whether the Purchaser is a business or consumer. The Purchase is a consumer if the Purchaser is an individual or if the Purchaser is buying goods from the Seller wholly or mainly for personal use (not for use in connection with trade, business, craft or profession).

Any terms which apply specifically to businesses, or to consumers only, are made clear in these terms. Terms that are not highlighted as applying to either, are applicable to both.

These terms and conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms the Purchaser seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

All of these conditions shall apply to the supply of both goods and services, except where application to one or the other is specified.

Consumers Only: Please note, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, as the goods are bespoke to the Purchaser, there is no right to return the goods or seek any refund.

Please read these terms carefully before submitting an order. Particular attention should be paid to clause 8 (Liability).

1: Quotation and Contract:

The attached quotation is based on the quantities, designs, sizes, specifications and estimates provided by either the Purchaser, the Seller, the Purchaser’s nominated representative or a combination thereof.

The Purchaser must carefully read all supplied documentation. If amendments are required, the customer sign-off form describes the process by which amendments can be made. Once satisfied that ALL aspects of the quotation, including the detailed product specifications and payment terms are correct, the Purchaser MUST sign and return the completed customer sign-off form. Please note that if the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s nominated representative has supplied ANY information from, which ANY aspect of the quotation has been compiled, it is the Purchasers sole responsibility to ensure this information is accurate and complete.

No instruction (written or otherwise) or order received from the Purchaser shall constitute a contract until the Seller has received the signed and completed customer sign-off form from the Purchaser. The quotation will only become a confirmed order once the customer sign-off form has been received by the Seller. No commencement of manufacturing or ordering of 3rd party components and/or materials will take place before receipt of the signed and completed customer sign-off form from the Purchaser.

Consumer only: In the event that the Seller is supplying the manufacturing dimensions to be detailed in the quotation as part of a supply and install contract, the Seller will be liable for any costs associated with altering or re-making the goods in the event the dimensions are found to be inaccurate at the time of installation. The Seller will NOT be liable for any costs associated with altering or re-making the goods if changes or modifications have been made to the areas designated to receive the goods AFTER the date measurements have been taken and dimensions established. Any such changes should be notified to the Seller and the provisions in section 1.2 shall apply.

Business only: To the extent that the goods are to be manufactured in accordance with a specification supplied by the Purchaser or their nominated representative, the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Seller in connection with any claim made against the Seller for actual or alleged errors in the product specifications.

During this process the Seller reserves the right to temporarily suspend manufacture until the signed and completed order/revision customer sign-off form is received.

If amendments are made after the order has gone into manufacture the reissued order/revision documentation with the accompanying customer sign-off form shall constitute a mutually agreed revision to the terms of the contract.

1.3: Cancellation:

An order can be cancelled without penalty if the order has not gone in manufacture, which will be on submission of the customer sign-off form. Any deposits paid may be refunded after any reasonable administration and/or preparation costs incurred have been deducted.

Timber may on occasion and under certain circumstances move, swell, shrink, crack or react in some other manner to adverse environmental, structural or atmospheric situations, or where an uncommon or extreme design has been employed. If in the Seller’s reasonable opinion a defect in a timber component of a supplied product is a direct result of poor workmanship or a failure in the Seller’s manufacturing process, then the Seller will make good any defect, at no cost to the purchaser, for a period of 10 years, subject to the goods having been correctly maintained in accordance with the Technical Specifications and any installation and maintenance guidelines accompanying the goods. However, if the Seller’s reasonable opinion the defect was caused by an event or issue not associated with poor workmanship or the manufacturing process, then the Seller reserves the right to invalidate the warranty with immediate effect or charge the Purchaser for any labour and materials required to make good any defect.

Details of these 3rd party warranties and guarantees can be provided on request.

The Seller will only replace (at no cost) a defective 3rd party supplied component that is not covered by a 3rd party manufacturer’s warranty if it can be demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Seller, that the failure of the 3rd party component occurred as a direct result of an action carried out by the Seller or their nominated representative.

The manufacturing warranty period will commence from the date the goods are despatched from the Seller’s premises, or the date the installation was completed (in the event that the Seller is installing the goods). The warranty is subject to the goods being properly installed. The Seller reserves the right to invalidate the warranty if in the Seller’s reasonable opinion the goods have been installed (by someone other than the Seller) in an unsatisfactory or negligent manner, or where the Purchaser has installed the goods themselves and in doing so has not, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller, followed the installation guidelines and/or advice given by the Seller.

The goods must be properly and regularly maintained by the Purchaser in accordance with the Seller’s recommendations contained in the attached Technical Specifications which can also be found at www.ajdchapelhow.co.uk. The warranty will be invalidated if, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller, the goods have not been properly maintained, have been damaged, modified, neglected or misused.

The Seller’s installation warranty will commence from the date on which the installation was completed and signed-off by the Purchaser.

If however, in the Seller’s reasonable opinion, the issue was caused by some other event, poor maintenance, damage, neglect or misuse, then the labour and materials required to resolve and make good the issue will be chargeable.

Goods supplied incomplete, partially manufactured, unglazed or without hardware are subject to a restricted warranty. The Seller will only warrant those elements over which the Seller had exclusive responsibility for manufacture.
