Our Contact

Our website invites You to buy Goods from Us. A legally binding contract with You will only arise once Valley Blinds has received payment for the Goods in full from You. We shall notify You of acceptance of Your order by e-mail to the e-mail address given by You on the order form. We regret We cannot accept orders placed by persons located or resident outside of the United Kingdom.

Price

The price for any Goods ordered by You will be the price shown on the order confirmation section of the Valley Blinds website at the time You place Your order and will include all taxes applicable from time to time.

In addition to the price, a delivery charge may be payable in respect of deliveries made to locations within the UK mainland, other than orders for sample swatches of fabric alone. The delivery charge will be that shown on the order confirmation section of the Valley Blinds website at the time You place Your order. If there is any change in the delivery charge payable We will notify You before Your order is accepted by Us and ask You to confirm that You wish to proceed with Your order. Delivery to locations outside of the UK mainland will be made only with Our express prior agreement, and additional delivery charges may be payable in that event. If You require delivery outside of the UK mainland You are advised to contact Us on Our enquiry line or by e-mail in advance of placing Your order. If there is any change in the delivery charge payable We will notify You before Your order is accepted by Us.

Subject to clause 6, We will debit the price, plus any delivery charge, from Your debit or credit card when We receive Your order or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If more than one item is ordered We may deliver the Goods in instalments but, if We do, We will not charge more than one delivery fee.

Right for You to cancel Your contract

Subject to clause 3.2, You may cancel Your order with Us for the Goods You order at any time up to the end of the seventh working day from the date You receive the Goods that You have ordered. You do not need to give us any reason for cancelling Your order, the cost and risk of returning the goods is solely Your responsibility, the purchaser. To cancel Your order You must notify Us by e-mail at valleyblinds.sales@gmail.com quoting Your order reference number (BBD—-). Any returns MUST have a returns number obtained from Valley Blinds and written on all the boxes prior to being returned.

You cannot change or cancel Your order if the Goods You have ordered are manufactured, measured or custom-made to Your requirements or specifications as these Goods will not be resalable by us. We regret that once Your order has been accepted by Us in relation to such Goods and entered on Our manufacturing process We are unable to accept any changes to these Goods or cancellation of Your order. Because of this it is extremely important that You are sure the product is what You require and the sizes You have given are correct. We at Valley Blinds strongly recommend that You check Your measurements are correct and take advantage of the free sample service We provide to ensure the fabric is the colour and specification You require.

If You have received the Goods before You cancel Your order under clauses 3.1, please contact Us as soon as possible by e-mail at quoting your order reference number (BBD—-) for guidance on how to pack Your Goods and arrange a suitable time for Us to collect the Goods from You. If You cancel Your contract but We have already processed the Goods for delivery You must not unpack the Goods when they are received by You, and You must contact Us as soon as possible by e-mail quoting Your order ref number to arrange a suitable time for Us to collect the Goods from You.

Subject to the provisions of clause 3.2, once You have notified Us that You are cancelling Your order, any sum debited to Us from Your debit or credit card will be recredited to Your account less any price paid by You for a non standard delivery service, subject to clause.

As soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of cancellation of Your order, provided that the Goods in question are made available for collection from You and received by Us in the condition they were in when delivered to You and have not been modified or subject to misuse or negligence. If You do not make available for collection the Goods delivered to You, We shall be entitled to deduct the direct costs of recovering the Goods from the amount to be recredited to You.

Where the goods are delivered as part of a non standard delivery service, You acknowledge and agree that You have asked Us to perform this service before the expiry of the statutory seven day cooling off period. As such, in the event You subsequently cancel Your order and in pursuant to regulation 13(1)(a) of the consumer protection (distance selling) regulation 2000, You shall have no right to obtain a refund of the price paid for the non standard delivery service.

Cancellation by Us

We reserve the right to cancel Your order if:

A. We have insufficient stock to deliver the Goods You have ordered.

B. You require delivery outside the United Kingdom; or

C. One or more of the Goods You ordered was listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or an error in the pricing information made by Us and/or received by Us from Our suppliers.

If We do cancel Your order, We will notify You by e-mail and will re-credit Your account any sum deducted by Us from Your debit or credit card as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of Your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

Details of how to do this can be found on the questions and answer page of our website.

As the Goods which You order are manufactured according to the measurements You provide in Your order taking into account a cutting tolerance, it is very important that Your measurements are accurate.

However once the Goods are returned if they are found to be the correct size as stated on Your order, You will be liable for the cost of uplifting and re-delivery. This does not entitle You to reject the Goods nor to claim any compensation.

Whilst every attempt will be made by Valley Blinds to ensure that the Goods sold and delivered match in every respect any sample or description shown or give; or sent to You, any minor or immaterial variation or change in colour or pattern between the sample or description and the Goods delivered, shall not entitle You to reject the Goods nor to claim any compensation for such variation or change.

Ownership of, and risk in, the Goods will pass to You once they have been delivered to You.
