Orders and Specifications

We shall accept no order submitted unless and until confirmed in writing.

We reserve the right but are not obliged to survey the site where the Goods are to be installed. We will notify you if we intend to undertake such survey. If following such survey we determine that such site is unsuitable we shall be entitled to cancel your order with no liability to you other than in a refund of any sums you have paid for such Goods (less our reasonable expenses in carrying out such survey). If the Goods are bespoke to your specification, our liability shall be that detailed in clause below.

You shall be responsible to us for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any Order (including any applicable specification) you submit and for giving us any necessary information relating to the Goods within a sufficient time to enable us to perform the Contract in accordance with its terms.

Subject to Internet purchase, the quality, quantity and description of and any specification for the Goods shall be those set out in our Suppliers literature and images therein. You should endeavour to inspect a sample of the Materials you order as the Goods, will match such sample in all material respects. We operate a policy of continuous product development and improvement and changes in detail may occur between order and delivery.

You may at any time before any agreed delivery date amend or cancel an Order by providing us with written notice. If you amend or cancel an Order, your liability to us shall be;

Shipping & Delivery

Deliveries to customers are either, with our own service, direct from the manufacturer, or by proprietary parcel or freight carriers. Arrangements to have goods delivered to the Buyer by other means and/or at a future date should be made at the time of purchase if possible - the Buyer can arrange a date by which they want them to arrive, Overnight service or normally within 5-7 working days!

Deliveries to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland - postcodes. IV, HS, KA27-28, KW, PA20-49, PA60-78, PH17-26, PH30-44, PH49-50 and ZE may incur extra charges please contact prior to purchase, also to include Northern Ireland, Isle-of-Man and Isle-of-Scilly - Postcodes BT, IM, TR21-25

We shall not be liable to you or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the Goods, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond our reasonable control.

If we are unable to deliver by this agreed date the Buyer may cancel the order (in writing) and all money paid to Installaflame.co.uk will be returned to them in full. However, if a delivery date has not been agreed, goods should still arrive within a "reasonable time" - usually within 30 days. If the Products ordered by the Buyer are not available or discontinued and the Seller is unable to deliver them to the Buyer within 60 days (or any other time limit agreed by the parties), the Seller shall inform the Buyer of this; cancel the Contract; and reimburse any sums paid by the Buyer.

Any Cancellation circumstances between Buyer and Seller or vice-versa must be done in writing!

This so-called "reasonable time" may be varied where a Third Party is used to deliver the goods (Parcel Force, TNT, Fedex, etc), in which case delivery date is outside the control of the Seller (InstallAflame), and they cannot be held directly responsible for Third Party failures to deliver on time.

If the Buyer agrees to wait or has been informed of any Delay (replenishment of stock) for the delivery, and subsequently changes their mind without informing the Seller, (in writing) and consequently cancels the order within this time, see reasonable time above, it will be deemed to constitute a Breach of Contract and they will forfeit all money and/or deposits paid to Installaflame.co.uk by way of contract.
Any agreement to source or replace materials elsewhere, negative or positive from either Buyer or Seller must be mutually agreed and in writing.

Buyers should inspect goods on delivery to ensure that they are correct, in order and free from damage or other defects.

For palletised deliveries, the goods will be delivered as close as possible to the front door of the delivery address you have given us. If this location is unreachable for any reason, such as a narrow street, up a flight of stairs (such as flats), or any other obstruction, delivery will be made as near to your property as possible, the driver is NOT insured to take the goods inside your property.
The pallet will be heavy, and it is strongly recommended that at least 2 able bodied persons are available to receive the delivery and carry the goods inside. Once the Goods are inside your Property responsibility is passed to you.
If the carriers are unable to deliver to you, they will charge us for the failed delivery and the return. If you have not informed us of any potential problems, we shall have to hold you liable for these charges.

Costs beyond our Control

We are not liable for any costs incurred by you or any loss of earnings or clauses imposed due to circumstances beyond our control. For example if a delivery is returned or delayed in any circumstances and you have to rebook the delivery or the installer then we are not liable for any extra charges that may be incurred.
