If the Goods are made to the Customers pattern, drawing or specification, the Customer agrees to indemnify the Supplier against any loss in respect of any proceedings or otherwise resulting from any letters patent, copyright, registered designs, registered trademarks or any other protection subsisting in favour of any third party in any pattern, drawing or specification.
Pricing
We try to ensure that the prices indicated on the website are up to date and accurate. However, we accept no liability for any errors and omissions and the final price of goods is the price in force at the time of us accepting your order. If a product has been listed at a lower price by mistake and you have ordered that product, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option to either reconfirm your order at the correct price or to cancel it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and have already paid for the goods, a full refund will be issued.
FORCE MAJEURE
The Supplier shall not be liable to the customer or be deemed to be in breach of the contract by reason of any delay in performing or any failure to perform any of the customer obligations in relation to the goods. If the delay or failure was due to an “Act of God”, war, strikes, lock-outs, pandemics, fire or any other cause beyond their control, or owing to difficulty arising from procurement of materials. In these circumstances, the Customer will accept any appropriate increased costs, which will be notified to the Customer at the earliest date.
Faulty Damaged Goods
If goods are found to be faulty or damaged upon delivery or not of satisfactory quality, please contact Chicubes within seven working days of receipt of the goods. We will, at our option, deliver replacement goods or refund the price paid.
Warranties
The Suppler warrants to the Customer that the Goods will be of satisfactory quality and correspond with the specification to the extent that current manufacturing techniques permit.
The Supplier warrants that all Goods shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from delivery. This warranty does not affect the Customers statutory rights.
The Supplier warrants that it shall perform the Services substantially in accordance with the Proposal and with reasonable skill and care.
The Customer shall be responsible for determining that the Goods are suitable for the Customer’s use and that such use complies with any applicable law.
This warranty does not apply to any damage arising from fair wear and tear or failure to maintain them in good condition, wilful damage, misuse, accident or negligence by you or any third party or use otherwise than as recommended by the Supplier, failure to follow the Suppliers installation or other instructions, any alteration or repair carried out without the Suppliers approval, or any destruction caused by any animal or by adverse weather conditions. Sometimes condensation may occur on Plastic surfaces due to their non-absorbent properties.
Provided that the Customer notifies the Supplier in writing of any claimed defect in the Goods no later than three days after discovery and any such Goods are returned at the Customer’s risk to the Supplier, transportation charges prepaid, after first obtaining authorisation from the Supplier, within one year from date of delivery and upon examination the Supplier determines to its satisfaction, after a reasonable period to inspect such Goods, that such Goods are defective in material or workmanship, the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the Goods, shipment to the Customer prepaid.
No Warranty claim can be accepted in respect to any goods unless and until they are returned to the Supplier for inspection or any requested photographic proof is provided.
The Supplier shall have a reasonable time to make such repairs or to replace such Goods. Any repair or replacement of Goods shall not extend the period of warranty.
This warranty is limited to a period of one year, without regard to whether any claimed defects were discoverable or latent on delivery.
In the event that the Customer would be entitled to damages against the Supplier for any breach of Warranty the Supplier shall not be liable to pay damages but shall (subject to conditions above) in their sole discretion either repair the goods at their own expense or supply replacement goods free of charge or refund all (or where appropriate part) of the price paid for the relevant goods. This clause does not affect the Customers statutory rights as a consumer.
The Installation is provided with a 6 month warranty against faulty assembly by the Suppliers fitters. If fixtures become faulty within the 6-month period they will be replaced. This Warranty does not cover acts of nature including damages caused by strong winds and gales; therefore, the Supplier recommends that the Installation should be covered by the Customers insurance policy.
In the case of the Customer performing an installation it is their responsibility and decision to use their own fixings where appropriate. Note that the Warranty is invalid if the Installation has been customised or completed incorrectly or modified in any way or the person claiming is not the original purchaser of the Installation.
