  7. If the Items you have ordered and paid for are not available for whatever reason we will offer you a full refund on the Items that are not available.
  8. You will not be entitled to a refund or an exchange where any Items ordered and paid for are bespoke or made to your personal requirements, measurements, choice of colour, materials etc. whether in part or full, and/or the manufacturing aspect of the Items involve any input from you whether done by you or anyone hired by you (“Bespoke Items”).
  9. Please check your measurements and measuring tools before placing an order as we cannot be liable for mistakes made by you and you will be committed to pay for the full order for items considered to be Bespoke Items.
  10. Whilst we will exercise reasonable care in carrying out your instructions we accept no liability for inaccuracies on the basis of drawings, specifications, measurements etc. submitted by you.
  11. Please note that we offer no guarantee as to the accuracy of manufacturers’ measurements, dimensions etc and shall not be held liable for the same.
  12. Design and advisory services whether through the website or otherwise (including the preparation of drawings, specifications, contract particulars etc.) are provided with reasonable skill and care, but no other representation or undertaking is made or is to be implied in connection with any such services, nor shall we be under any liability whatsoever in respect of these services unless we have specifically agreed in writing with you on a separate agreement in relation to the same.
  13. You will not be entitled to a refund whether in full or part 7 working days after you have received the Items (“Cooling-Off Period”) therefore it is up to you to ensure that you check the Items as soon as they are delivered.

  15. All payments are due in full when we confirm that the requested Items are in stock and before we deliver to you. All payments are processed upon receipt of order. This system is in place to ensure that payment is valid prior to us ordering the Items for you.
  16. Where you have paid by credit card and the credit card company makes a charge to us (which you will be advised of at the time of making the order) we reserve the right to pass that charge on to you and you will be advised of the same before we proceed with your order.
  17. Please note that the delivery charges, credit card charges and any other additional charges which you have been notified of may vary from time to time but are included in the total cost of your order.
  18. Historica Ltd accepts no liability for any failure to deliver Items where this results from its inability to do so or its decision on reasonable grounds not to do so, provided that it takes all reasonable steps to notify you within 14 days of order placement that Items will not be delivered as ordered. In such cases we will not process payment until we are able to confirm the Items are in stock and will be shipped to you.
  19. We retain ownership of Items ordered until such time as we have received full payment for such Items and delivered the same to you whereupon title will pass to you.
  20. Notwithstanding clause 18, the risk of any loss or damage to the Items passes from us to you once delivery has been made to you or you have been notified that the Items are ready for collection.
  21. If you are a resident of the EU, VAT will be added to the Items ordered unless we specifically exclude it in writing because you own a business and you have provided us with your country code and a valid VAT number. If you are a non-EU resident, VAT will not be charged although you will be responsible for local import charges and taxes levied in your country of residence.

  25. Once the notice is received, you will be liable to return the goods to the Company’s trading address forthwith, in their original packaging (without having been used and with all relevant seals and enclosures intact) and at your sole expense.
  26. If you fail to return the goods in accordance with clause 23 within 7 days of the cancellation of contract, the Company will not refund you.

  30. Delivery

  31. In respect of Bespoke Items, any timings, deadlines or completion dates given are approximate and time shall not be of the essence.
  32. We aim to give you at least 5 days notice of the date on which we intend to deliver the Items to you (“Delivery Date”). Delivery times are approximate and time shall not be of the essence.
  33. If you are not present at the time of delivery, the goods will be sent to our nearest depot (the location of which shall be determined at our sole discretion) either for you to pick the items up or for delivery to be effected again at your cost.
  34. Unless advised in writing 5 working days before the Delivery Date, all orders will be delivered to the address agreed at the date the contract was formed, which is when payment is made by you.
  35. We or any company we choose to use as our deliverers shall only be obliged to accept the signature of an apparently authorised person, unless you have notified to us in writing specifically providing details of whose signature we or our deliverers should obtain 5 days prior to the Delivery Date.


  36. Returns and Damaged Goods

  37. You must notify us in writing of any shortages, damages, defects in quality or poor conditions of the Items or failure of the Items to correspond with the specification within 7 working days after the date of delivery (“Complaint Period”). Please note that we would ask that you inspect the Items immediately when they are delivered to you to prevent any concerns over the loss of your rights under this agreement. Failure to notify us within the Complaint Period will result in the loss of your right to have the defects etc. remedied to our absolute discretion.
  38. Damaged or faulty Items will be replaced or refunded at our sole discretion provided you are able to demonstrate to us that the damage took place before you received the Items and you have notified us in writing within the Complaint Period.
