4.1 After placing an order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail (“Order Confirmation”) from us acknowledging that we have received your order and have begun processing your payment in accordance with the payment terms set out in clause 10.
4.2 Acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you the confirmation (“Order Confirmation”) e-mail.
4.3 The Contract will relate only to those Products we have referred to in the Order Confirmation.
5. Cancellation by Us
5.1 We reserve the right not to accept any order requested if:
5.1.1 we have insufficient stock to deliver the Products you have ordered;
5.1.2 we do not deliver to your area;
5.1.3 one or more of the Products ordered was incorrectly described or priced on the Website;
5.1.4 the payment transaction is not authorised; or
5.1.5 you have not complied with the terms of paragraph 3 of these Terms and Conditions.
5.2 If we do cancel your contract we will notify you by e-mail and will refund to you any sum paid by you to us in respect of the contract as soon as possible, and in any event within 30 days of the cancellation of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.
6. Your Statutory Right to Cancel
6.1 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel the Contract no later than 14 working days after the date upon which you receive the Products. In this case, you will receive a refund in accordance with the terms set out below.
6.2 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. The easiest way to do this is to complete the cancellation form on our website http://www.reedshomestore.co.uk/cancellation/content/fcp-content. If you use this method we will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation. You can also email us or contact our Customer Services team by telephone or by post. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or email us before midnight on that day.
6.3 If you cancel your Contract we will:
6.3.1 Refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the Products, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
6.3.2 Refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method). For example, if we offer delivery of Products within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Products delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
6.3.3 Make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
6.3.3.1 If you have received the Products and we have not offered to collect them from you 14 days after the day on which we receive the Products back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Products back to us.
6.3.3.2 If you have not received the Products or you have received them and we have offered to collect them from you 14 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
6.4 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Products we may refund you in vouchers.
6.5 If Products have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
6.5.1 Then you must return them to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. You can either send them back, return them to us in store or hand them to our authorised carrier. If we have offered to collect the Products from you, we will collect the Products from the address to which they were delivered. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection.
6.5.2 Unless the Products are faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If the Products are ones which cannot be returned by post, we estimate that if you use the carrier which delivered the Products to you, these costs should not exceed the sums we charged you for delivery. If we have offered to collect the Products from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
6.6 Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
7. Our Returns Policy
7.1 Regrettably, once Products have been delivered to you and any statutory cooling off period has expired, no Products will be accepted for return other than (i) in our absolute discretion or (ii) where such Products are damaged or defective.
7.2 Every effort will be made to ensure that the Products that you have ordered arrive undamaged and without defect.
7.3 If the Products are found to be either damaged or defective in any way at the time of delivery, you must complete an incident form immediately, which will be provided by our delivery team. If such damage or defect is discovered after delivery, you must contact us within three days of delivery of the Product or, in the event of a latent defect, within three days of the date upon which you discovered the defect.
7.4 Upon receipt of notification of alleged damage or defect from you, we will arrange to inspect the Product concerned. You must not make any use of it, not make any alteration to it nor return it or arrange for its return before we have been provided with the opportunity to inspect and investigate.
7.5 If upon inspection we agree that the item is damaged or defective and we are unable to repair the item to manufacturing standards, we will arrange for collection of the item and we will then contact you to arrange delivery of a replacement item to you as soon as replacement stock is available and/or offer you a full refund (including delivery charges). We are only able to hold such replacement stock for a reasonable period and reserve the right to levy a restocking charge in circumstances where you are unable or unwilling to accept such delivery within a reasonable time.
7.6 If as a result of an inspection, we determine that we have no legal liability in respect of the matters complained of, then we reserve the right to levy our standard call out charge and to reject any claim in respect of alleged damaged or defective Products.
7.7 Once unwrapped, beds/divans with mattresses and mattresses are excluded from our returns policy for health and hygiene reasons.

7.8.1 Surface fillings of mattresses may flatten. This is called dipping or settlement and is normal with use.
7.8.2 Furniture manufactured from natural materials (e.g. leather, wood and marble) will all have an individual appearance and may have a slight variance in colour and texture. A perfect match to the furniture on display on the Website cannot be guaranteed and a reasonable tolerance level will be applied. This adds to the individuality and character of each item manufactured.
7.8.3 Leather furniture will display natural characteristics such as scarring and variations in grain. In the cases of semi-aniline and aniline leathers, there will also be colour variations.
7.8.4 Solid wood furniture will display a variation in grain, knots and there may also be colour variation.
7.8.5 Marble furniture will display veining and there may also be colour variation.

8.1 We aim to deliver your Products within the time quoted on our Order Confirmation. If circumstances change we will contact you and in any event when the Product is available for delivery we will contact you to book a delivery Date (“Delivery Advice”). If however, delivery is delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, then we cannot accept any liability for consequential loss.
8.2 The delivery times quoted on the Website are for delivery to postcodes which fall within our normal delivery areas of 40 miles radius from our distribution centres. Any customers who purchase furniture for delivery to an address outside of this area will be contacted for further advise on their expected delivery time.
