Payment for invoices other than samples is only accepted by bank transfer.

If you order in stock tiles but also specially tiles which are not in stock and which needs to be shipped outside the UK firstly, please make sure that you do not make arrangements (e.g. fixed dates) for the tiles to be installed prior to the delivery at your premises.

The delivery driver will not handle the Goods after unloaded on the kerb side. Unfortunately the driver can not bring the GOODS into your premises. We can not be held responsible for the Goods once they have been received by you. If for any reason you fail to accept delivery of any or all Goods or the delivery company is unable to deliver the Goods, you may have to pay a re-delivery charge. The delivery company may store the Goods until delivery and further charges for storage or a second delivery may apply.

The Customer should inspect the Goods on delivery to ensure that the Goods are of the correct type, correct amount, satisfactory quality and undamaged. You have to inform us within 48 hours latest after the Delivery of Goods of any damaged or unsatisfactory Goods by email otherwise we are not able to refund you for damaged or not satisfactory Goods. If you are not happy with the Goods you can either refuse them on delivery or let us know that you do not want to keep them within 14 days after the date of delivery. The Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods if not returned within 14 days of the date of delivery or when you have not informed us by email within 14 days after the date of delivery that you do not want to keep the Goods. Cancellation before you receive your GOODS: If your tiles are already booked for collection from one of our warehouses, but have not left, you are liable for the delivery charge. If you cancel your order after we have shipped them, even you did not receive them, you are liable for the delivery charge and also the charge for returning the tiles to one of our warehouses as the delivery companies will charge us for these costs. It is not possible to cancel part of your order, only the whole order can be cancelled. If cancelled, there is no restocking fee. Please note that we may ship your GOODS already before receiving your down payment and your order is binding for you as soon as we accept it and email you our order confirmation.

8. RETURNING OVER-ORDERED TILES:

We recommend to measure exactly and order only 10% extra for wastage and cutting to avoid costs in returning GOODS. We also recommend to keep some of our GOODS as you may need them in the future. If you like to return stock GOODS, please inform us before. There is a 10% restocking fee and we only can take back full and unopened boxes. You can bring them in person to our Croydon warehouse (after you made an appointment) or we can arrange a collection for you for an additional charge of at least GBP 65.00 inc. VAT, depending on the amount of GOODS returned and your post code. Please note that our handmade GOODS can easily be damaged and we therefore strongly advise our customers not to return them by post or courier services (that's why we deliver them securely packed on a pallet by lorry). Shipping them by post or courier service will most likely damage the GOODS. We recommend to let us arrange the collection from you instead to avoid damages, which you are liable for. If we receive damaged (chipped, cracked or broken) tiles, we can not sell them anymore and therefore can not refund them unfortunately. If Goods are lost or damaged in transit, we reserve the right to charge you for any loss or damage. The possibility to return your GOODS is limited to 3 months after you have received them. Bespoke orders (orders made from your own design with our easy-to-use online Encaustic tiles configurator or your design) may not be returned, as they are custom made to your requirements. Returning Goods is at your own risk. If Goods are lost or damaged in transit, we reserve the right to charge you for any loss or damage.

9. TITLE AND RISK

The Goods are at the risk of the Customer once received. Ownership will only pass to you when we receive payment in full.

10. LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

The companies total liability shall be limited to the price of the Goods. Neither You or We should be responsible for any losses that result from our own failure to comply to these terms and conditions including, but not limited to, losses that fall into the following categories: loss of income, loss of business, loss of data. Nothing in this agreement will exclude or limit in either way our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence or fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or any breach of the obligation implied of unexpected events of the Sale of Goods Act 2020 or any other matter for which it would be illegal or unlawful for either you or us to exclude to attempt to exclude our liability. The Company shall not be liable to the Customer for late delivery or short delivery of the Goods.

11. TECHNICAL ADVICE
