    1. Delivery will be made to the address specified within your order. It should be noted that delivery to a specific delivery address does not necessarily mean delivery to a specific person.

    6. On delivery goods must be checked for damage before they are signed for. All goods sent by us are insured against damage until they are signed for. Signing unchecked does not cover the delivery against damage. See clause 8 for full details regarding ‘acceptance and faulty goods’.

    13. We are unable to pinpoint delivery times due to multiple deliveries across the UK on any one day. Therefore, no builders or tradesman should be booked to carry out works until materials are on site and have all been checked and verified as correct. As per clause 11.2 we will not be liable for any costs incurred.

    1. If the ‘customer collection’ was selected at point of sale then customers will be advised verbally and/or in writing (via email, fax or letter to the addresses given at order point) when ordered materials will be ready for collection. Customers will be requested to contact us to arrange collection in line with clause 6.2.

    1. We will send materials packaged to avoid damage. Upon delivery outer packaging should be removed (except the protective polycarbonate film as per clause 7.2) and products stored in a suitable location (see clause 7.3).
    2. The majority of polycarbonate that we sell is protected on both sides with a protective masking film. This film should be removed upon installation. The film can be removed by peeling and should never be removed using a knife or other sharp implement.
    3. Plastic products should not be stored in direct sunlight either within outer packaging or with the protective film still on.

    2. Materials cannot be signed for as ‘unchecked’.
    3. If materials are damaged on arrival then these should be signed for as ‘damaged’.
    4. In the event of any damages or faults and subject to clauses 8.1 and 8.3 you must also notify us by phone (to our main office number) or email (to our email address) within 2 working days quoting date of order and order number plus details of the damages/faults identified.

    5. We cannot accept liability for your returned packages during transit.
    6. Orders which are cut or made to measure to your requirements will not be exchanged or refunded.
    7. Although offered in set sizes, our Canopies, Carports & Shelters are not ‘off the shelf’ products and are only manufactured when an order is placed. We therefore do not offer refunds on these products unless damaged or faulty. Please check carefully that your measurements are correct before placing your order. We are happy to answer any queries before you place your order and installation instructions are available in the Related Downloads section.
    8. We will carry out an inspection of all returned materials to check for signs of use (scratches etc) that would prevent us from reselling the materials as new. If the goods are in a re-saleable condition, a refund will be issued.
