3. If the customer places its order online
How the contract is formed
3.1 The Supplier’s shopping pages are designed to guide the Customer through the steps it needs to take to place an Order with the Supplier. The Supplier’s order process allows the Customer to check and amend any errors in the Order before submitting its to the Supplier. The Customer should take the time to read and check its Order at each page of the order process.
3.2 After the Customer places an Order, it will receive an email from the Supplier acknowledging that the Supplier has received the Order. However, this does not mean that the Order has been accepted. The Supplier’s acceptance of the Order will take place as described in clause 10.3.
3.3 The Supplier will confirm its acceptance of the Order to the Customer by sending an email confirmation with an invoice and VAT invoice ( Confirmation Email). This will constitute the Commencement Date for the purposes of clause 2.2 and the Contract will only be formed once the Supplier has sent the Confirmation Email.
3.4 If the Supplier is unable to supply a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because it cannot meet the Customer’s requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on the Supplier’s website, the Supplier will inform the Customer of this by email and the Supplier will not process the Order. If the Customer has already paid for the Products, the Supplier will refund the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
4. If the customer places its order on the telephone or by email
How the contract is formed
4.1 If the Customer seeks to place an Order with the Supplier over the telephone or by email, the Contract will be formed in accordance with the process set out in this clause 4.
4.2 The Customer will contact the Supplier by telephone to inform the Supplier of the Goods and/or Services it requires. Shortly afterwards, the Customer will receive an email from the Supplier containing the Supplier’s pro-forma invoice (containing details of the proposed Goods and/or Services to be supplied and a quotation). All pro-forma invoices and subsequent Contracts formed refer to (and incorporate into any contract between the Customer and the Supplier) these terms and conditions. Receipt of the Supplier’s pro forma does not mean that the Contract has been formed, which will take place as described in clause 4.5.
4.3 The Supplier’s sales process has been designed to allow the Customer to check and amend any errors in the Supplier’s pro-forma invoice before forming the contract, so as to avoid any mistakes which can be made in concluding contracts by this method. The Customer is advised to therefore take the time to check the terms of the quotation very carefully.
4.4 Once the Customer is satisfied that the Supplier’s pro-forma invoice is accurate and that it would like to proceed based subject to these terms and conditions, the Customer will then contact the Supplier by telephone again to confirm the same (and to make payment as necessary).
4.5 Following conclusion of the above mentioned telephone call, the Supplier will confirm its acceptance of the Order by sending the Customer an email confirmation including a VAT invoice (Confirmation Email). This will constitute the formation of the Contract and be deemed to be the Commencement Date for the purposes of clause 2.2 and the Contract will only be formed once the Supplier has sent the Confirmation Email.
4.6 Upon payment (or partial-payment(s) as the case may be) for the Goods and/or Services in accordance with this clause 4, the Supplier will supply the Customer with further invoice(s) recording monies paid and, if necessary, any outstanding balance in relation to that order (or any others).
4.7 If the Supplier is unable to supply a Product, for example because that Product is not in stock or no longer available or because it cannot meet the Customer’s requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on the Supplier’s website, the Supplier will inform the Customer of this by email and the Supplier will not process the Order. If the Customer has already paid for the Products, the Supplier will refund the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
5. Goods
5.1 The Goods are described in the Supplier's catalogue and website, as modified by any applicable Goods Specification.
5.2 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the Goods Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
6. Delivery of Goods
6.1 The Supplier shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Supplier reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.
6.2 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree ( Delivery Location) at any time after the Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready.
6.3 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location.
6.4 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
6.5 If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions for the Goods or any relevant instruction related to the supply of the Goods.
6.6 If the Customer fails to accept or take delivery of the Goods within 6 weeks of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready (or asks for delivery to take place any later than 6 weeks from when the Goods are ready or anticipated to be ready), then except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by the Supplier's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:
6.6.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the expiry of 6 weeks following the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
6.6.2 the Supplier shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer £100.00 + VAT per week for costs and expenses (including insurance) of storage.
6.7 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
7. Quality of Goods
7.1 The Supplier warrants that on delivery, and for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery, the Goods shall:
7.1.1 conform in all material respects with their description and any applicable Goods Specification (subject to clauses 7.4 and 7.9.);
7.1.2 be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; and
7.1.3 be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979), however, this warranty does not apply in the circumstances described in clause 7.13.
7.2 The Supplier warrants further to clause 7.1 that on delivery, its cast iron and steel radiators (but for the avoidance of doubt, none of its valves and other items) shall be free from manufacturing defects for 10 years and its valves and other non-electrical accessories shall be free from manufacturing defects for 1 year. However, this warranty does not apply in the circumstances described in clause 7.13.
7.3 The Goods may vary slightly from those images provided on the Supplier’s website or in the Supplier’s brochures and there can be discrepancies between those colours advertised and the final Goods. Likewise, any Goods supplied in non-standard colour-matched finishes may vary slightly from the images on the Supplier’s website.
7.4 Radiators supplied in a primer coating must be painted with a suitable and heat-resistant paint. It is strongly recommended that the Customer engages the Supplier to provide this Service to and top-coat the radiators. If the Customer chooses to do this itself, the Supplier strongly recommend that the Customer uses Hammerite radiator paint. WARNING: A primer is not a top-coat and if no paint is applied to the Goods at all, or if a paint the Supplier has not recommended is applied to the Goods, the Supplier can not accept liability for the longevity of the finish (for example, a radiator will scratch more easily than if it had a top-coat).
7.5 For those radiators which supplied in a polished finish, these products will not be polished on the rear, nor will they be polished in between sections or on the joining collar at the bottom of the radiator as it will be hidden under normal installation. If the Customer requires the rear of the radiator to be polished, it must make the Supplier aware of this before placing the order. There will be an additional charge payable by the Customer for any polishing services.
7.6 All Goods should be maintained at all times in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines and all supplementary guidance notes provided by the Supplier.
7.7 THE CUSTOMER MUST NOT RELY ON SIZE ESTIMATES; DO NOT ALTER PROPERTY OR LAY ANY PIPEWORK UNTIL THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN POSITIONED Although the Supplier will make every effort to be as accurate as possible, because the Goods are bespoke and handmade, all measurements in brochures or on the Supplier’s website have a 2% tolerance and all measurements provided are estimates. The Supplier strongly recommends that the Customer positions the Goods on its premises before installing any pipework or making any other structural or non-structural alteration to the premises. BE ADVISED; the Customer can not rely on these estimates. If the Customer needs to lay pipework or make alterations to its premises prior to receiving the Goods, the Supplier can upon reasonable request supply the Customer with a pipe-centre specification document which will contain exact measurements (including pipe centre, inlet and outlet, and distance to floorboard) which the Customer can at this point rely on. The Supplier can not accept responsibility for any remedial works required should pipework be laid in a position not in accordance with the Supplier’s pipe-centre specification document.
7.8 NOT ALL OF THE GOODS ARE DELIVERED FULLY ASSEMBLED All of the Supplier’s sectional radiators are assembled to a restricted size due to haulage and manoeuvrability considerations and most importantly, due to health and safety restrictions. The maximum size for each radiator is provided within the description provided on the Supplier’s website or within its brochures. If the Customer orders a sectional radiator in excess of its prescribed restricted size (as provided for within the description on our site) we will be unable to deliver this to you in a fully-assembled form and this will be assembled by us up to the maximum size, with the additional sections supplied separately with a radiator tool and some assembly instructions for you to assemble yourself upon receipt. If this is unacceptable to you, we would ask you not to complete your order until you have spoken to a member of staff (details of which are provided in clause 1 above). Any self-assembly of our Products is done so at your own risk and we strongly recommend that you contact us about the on-site assembly service we can supply to most locations within the United Kingdom. If we feel that the radiator is too large in one piece, we will contact you to discuss the possibility of delivery in two or more pieces.
7.9 We may add one extra leg section to larger radiators to distribute the weight and reserve the right to vary the assembly structure according to the available geometry.
7.10 The packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown on images on the Supplier’s website or in the Supplier’s brochures.

7.12 The Supplier shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty in clause 7.1 and clause 7.2 if:
