4.         HOW THE CONTRACT IS FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND US

4.1       After placing an order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Product has been dispatched (the Dispatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we receive your signed acceptance of quote, or when the despatch date is given, whichever is the earlier.

4.2        The Contract will relate only to those Products whose dispatch we have confirmed in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.

5.            CONSUMER RIGHTS

5.1              If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 5 working days, beginning on the day you signed for acceptance. In this case, you will receive a 50% refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 9 below) together with any charges that may apply.

5.2              All products offered through this website are made to measure. These products are manufactured to your specific needs and cannot be returned or cancelled during or after manufacture. Once the order has been processed, and sent to manufacture, 100 % payment will be due, on cancellation. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

6.            AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date advised or, if no delivery date is specified, then within 90 days unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Any damage / claims MUST be notified to Windows-more within 24 hours of receipt otherwise no responsibility will be accepted by Windows-more.

7.         RISK AND TITLE

7.1              The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

7.2              Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

8.         PRICE AND PAYMENT

8.1              The price of any Products will be as quoted by us from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

8.2              These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Guide.

8.3              Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already accepted an order for manufacture. Changes to the approced specification will incur costs for which you will be liable for.

8.4              Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price state on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

8.5              We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

8.6              Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and Visa Electron. We will charge your credit or debit card at the point of order.

9.         OUR REFUNDS POLICY

In this case, we will refund the price of the product in full, less a 50% (dependent on the product category) cancellation charge to cover materials orders and works carried out. Any bespoke or “made to order” products are exempt and are non-refundable.

(b)   For any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 18 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time.
