This will enable us to contact them in the event of a product recall. This clause 3.6 shall survive termination of the Contract.
Our goods
4.1 The images of the Goods on our site, in our catalogues, brochures and other forms of media are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Goods. The colour of your Goods may vary slightly from those images.
4.2 Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site, in our catalogues, brochures and other forms of media are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
4.3 The packaging of your Goods may vary from that shown on images on our site.
4.4 We reserve the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement.
4.5 Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the product specifications on each listing are correct, specifications may change without notice due to continuous product development.
4.6 You are not permitted to sell the Goods on online marketplaces without our prior written consent.
Return and refund
5.1 You may cancel the Contract and receive a full refund, if you notify us at least 24 hours before the Goods are dispatched as set out in clause 5.3.
5.2 However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
(a) us buying stock specifically for you; and
(b) any Goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
5.3 To cancel the Contract, you must email us at sales@homefeeling.co.uk. Please include details of your order to help us to identify it. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
5.4 If you have returned the Goods to us under this clause 5 because they are faulty or mis-described, subject to clause 5.7, we will refund the price of the Goods and will refund you using the same method that you paid for the Goods (excluding cash).

5.6 You shall not issue any refund or replacement to your end customer on our behalf, without our prior written approval.
5.7 Any credit, refund or contribution provided by us shall be subject to our prior written approval. We may, at our sole discretion: (a) credit you with the applicable trade price of the Goods; and (b) where agreed in writing in advance, make a reasonable contribution towards associated delivery or collection costs.
Delivery, transfer of risk and title
6.1 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 14 for our responsibilities when this happens.
6.2 Delivery is complete once the Goods have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order or collected by you or a carrier organised by you to collect them from us (as applicable) and the Goods will be at your risk from that time.
6.3 You own the Goods once we have received payment in full, including of all applicable delivery charges.
6.4 If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability is limited to the cost of the Goods. However, we will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.
6.5 If you fail to take delivery within 14 days after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for delivery, we may resell part of, or all the Goods. We shall repay you the price you paid for the Goods after deducting reasonable storage, insurance and selling costs and any shortfall between the resale price and the price you paid for the Goods.
6.6 Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall:
(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
(b) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
(c) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
(d) notify us immediately if you take any step or action in connection with entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with your creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), obtaining a moratorium, being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of your assets or ceasing to carry on business; and
(e) give us such information as we may reasonably require from time to time relating to:
(i) the Goods; and
(ii) the ongoing financial position of the Customer.
6.7 We may recover Goods in which title has not passed to you. You irrevocably license us, our officers, employees and agents, to enter any of your premises (including with vehicles), in order to satisfy ourselves that you are complying with the obligations in clause 6.6, and to recover any Goods in which title has not passed to you.
6.8 We may at any time after delivery elect to transfer title in the Goods to you, in which case you shall immediately pay us for the Goods.
6.9 We cannot be held responsible for delays due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to accidents, traffic and weather.
6.10 All Goods must be signed for and inspected immediately.
6.11 It is your responsibility to ensure that you thoroughly check your delivery for any damage or missing Goods within a reasonable time frame.
6.12 Any missing Goods or damage needs to be reported to us within 48 hours of delivery, so even if you are not installing your Goods straight away, please thoroughly inspect the Goods upon delivery otherwise, there is no practical way for us to determine whether they were damaged before receipt of your Goods and we will not be able to make a damage claim with our couriers or the manufacturer.
6.13 If we are not notified within the 48-hour time frame, then we will not be able to raise a claim with the courier.
6.14 Unless you have reported any damage or missing Goods within 48 hours of delivery, we will deem the Goods to have arrived with you in perfect condition.
6.15 If you happen to notice any damage to the Goods at the time of delivery, you have the right to refuse the delivery.
6.16 We reserve the right to request photographic evidence of the Goods and/or packaging prior to collection.
6.17 Do not attempt to install your Goods if you notice damage. If it becomes apparent that the Goods have been installed prior to us being informed that they are damaged, we will assume that the Goods were damaged during installation.
6.18 We are not responsible for any damage to your property by third party couriers we use and we will not be responsible for any such claims.
International delivery
7.1 We deliver to certain countries outside of the UK (International Delivery Destinations). However, there are restrictions on some Goods for certain International Delivery Destinations, so please review the information we provide carefully before ordering Goods. You are responsible for ensuring that the Goods are suitable for your International Delivery Destination.
7.2 If you order Goods from us for delivery to one of the International Delivery Destinations, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.
7.3 You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.
7.4 You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
Price of goods and delivery charges
8.1 The prices of the Goods will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Goods are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Goods you ordered.
8.2 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
8.3 The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
8.4 The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the order process, before we confirm your order.
8.5 We sell a large number of Goods. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods may be incorrectly priced. If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. However, if we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Goods and refund you any sums you have paid.
How to pay
9.1 You shall pay invoices in full in cleared funds within the timeframe agreed in writing and if no timeframe has been agreed before the Goods are dispatched. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by us. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
9.2 If you fail to make any payment due to us under the Contract by the due date for payment, then, without limiting our remedies under clause 13:
a) you shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
b) we may suspend all further deliveries of Goods until payment has been made in full.
9.3 All amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, chargeback or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
9.4 Payment for the Goods and all applicable delivery charges is in advance where credit terms have not been agreed.
Manufacturer's guarantee and/or warranty
Some of the Goods we sell to you come with a manufacturer's guarantee and/or warranty. For details of the applicable terms and conditions, please refer to the manufacturer's guarantee/warranty provided with the Goods or on the manufacturer’s website.

11.6 Except as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not give any representations, warranties or undertakings in relation to the Goods.

11.10 We shall be entitled, at our sole discretion, to provide technical support, troubleshooting and repair services directly to the end customer. Any such support is provided on a non-contractual basis and shall not create any contractual relationship between us and the end customer.

If we do waive any rights or remedies, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any right or remedy related to any later default by you.
