10. Returns
Goods that have been specially made to order in a specific size, finish or upholstery colour as per the customer’s specifications cannot be returned. This is in accordance with clause 13 of the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 and clause 28(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. ‘Made to order’ items are defined as items that are specially produced based on a customer’s choice of size or finishes as ordered, and put into production as per these specifications. All ‘Made to order’ items are clearly labelled as such on the corresponding product page and in the shopping basket. If your order is received damaged or defective then a replacement will be manufactured and delivered as replacement as soon as possible.
Please only place your order if you are sure that the item and finish is right for your needs as you will not be able to change the order after the item has been entered into production or because it is different to what you expected following delivery, unless of course we have not supplied the correct item or specification as per the order confirmation. Also, it is imperative for you to check access into your property as delivery will be actioned on the basis that you have checked the dimensions of the item you wish to order and that it fits through all doorways, stairwells and within the area of intended use. PrestigeSofa UK Ltd is not responsible for this stipulation within your order process.
If you would like to return or exchange a standard product where no finish options have been specified by you, please contact us within 14 calendar days of receiving your order. You must return or exchange goods within 14 calendar days of cancellation but PrestigeSofa UK Ltd is not responsible for any item that is not returned in the manner set forth below.
The product you return must be in new, unused, condition with all the original packaging and product tags still attached. New and unused means that there are no marks on the item or signs of any wear. We will not accept any item with any indication that it was used. In such cases, the item will be returned to the purchaser. Goods can be returned to our warehouse or, if required, we can arrange for the unwanted product to be collected at your cost. The cost of returning any unwanted products will be the responsibility of the buyer. Please ensure you keep all the original packaging and carefully repackage the item for transit as it is also the buyer’s responsibility to insure the goods for transit.
Where items are large or fragile (as determined by PrestigeSofa UK Ltd) we reserve the right to nominate a specialist furniture handler for return transit and pass the cost of this service onto the Customer. This transportation charge will be charged each time the Customer accepts a returns collection date but then subsequently fails to meet it.
The value of all accurately returned, unwanted products will be credited to the original purchaser’s credit or debit card minus any relevant collection charges within 14 days of receipt by us of the return. The same procedure and guidelines should be followed if you would like to exchange your order but, again, collection and re-delivery charges will apply if required and any necessary revised payments processed.
In the event of your order being received in a faulty or damaged condition, please notify us as soon as possible after you have received your goods as no claim for a replacement for damaged or missing goods can be made after three days; the manufacturer’s standard warranty on faulty goods remains valid beyond this period. Any claims regarding damaged/defective items must be made initially by writing via email to office@prestigesofa.co.uk
11. Force Majeure
Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, deliveries may be totally or partially suspended by the Company during any period in which the Company may be prevented or hindered from manufacturing, supplying or delivering the Goods as a result of acts of God, fire, accident, war, terrorism, riot, civil commotion, government order, regulation or directions, shortage of labor, equipment or material, strikes, lockouts or any other contingencies whatsoever beyond the Company’s control whether of the same nature of the foregoing or not.
