If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will let you know.

Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we send our Confirmation of Order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
4. OUR PRODUCTS
Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only and we cannot guarantee that they reflect the colour of the products that will be delivered to you. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Colour variations are a feature of natural stone and variations can exist in colour, crystalline composition, veining, fossil deposits and mineral activity. The colour of natural stone may vary in different lights and may also change over time. Your product may vary from those images.
Product dimensions may vary. Although we make every effort to be as accurate as possible, because of the nature of the products, all sizes, weights, and capacities indicated on our website, in our catalogue or brochure and on our quotations and Confirmations of Order have a 4% tolerance and a 1 to 10mm tolerance for dimensions and measurements, owing to the nature of the natural stone products that we supply.
5. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
Minor changes to the products. We may change the product without notice: (a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and (b) to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.
More significant changes to the products and these terms. If we have to make significant changes to these terms or the product, we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract and receive a full refund before the changes take effect:
7. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS
7.1 We charge delivery costs in addition to the price of the products. The costs and timescale for delivery will vary depending on the availability of the product and your delivery address. See Customer Care for details. We will confirm details during the order process. You will also be responsible for payment of any import duties and taxes that may be applied when the delivery reaches your delivery address.

7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
7.4 Collection by you. We use independent delivery companies and, while we endeavour to get the products to you on time, we are not responsible for and have no control over the delivery companies and so we cannot guarantee delivery times. We will notify you of an estimated delivery date in our Confirmation of Order and, unless we agree otherwise, we will deliver the products to you within 30 days of that date. If you have asked to collect the products from our trading address, you will be advised of a time slot available you can collect the products from us at this time during our working hours of 7:30 am to 6:00pm on Mondays to Fridays, 8:00am to 3:30pm on Saturdays.

Please note that there will be a charge for redelivery.
7.6 Restricted Access. The product will often be delivered on a large lorry (or, where possible, on a vehicle suitable to the delivery address), so it is important that you advise us of details of any restricted access (e.g. narrow drive/overhanging trees/uneven surfaces such as gravel or cobbles etc.) before delivery. If you do not provide such information to us, we may not be able to deliver the product to the address given to us by you and the product may have to be returned to our premises, in which case you may have to pay our reasonable charges for storage and/or rearranged delivery.
7.7 Transferring to your place. The product will be placed at the nearest safe point to the delivery address. This may be on the drive or kerbside. Unless we agree otherwise, it is your responsibility to arrange for someone to be at the delivery address with suitable handling equipment when the product is delivered. If you do not, the product may have to be returned to our premises and you may have to pay our reasonable charges for storage and/or rearranged delivery.
7.8 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.

If you are ending the contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Goods which have not been provided or have not been provided properly and you may also be entitled to further compensation. The reasons are:

You do not have a right to change your mind if you are a business customer.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
(a) Have you bought goods (for example, stone products)? if so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
(i) Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receive the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.

we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer.
