PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS AND MEASUREMENT
6.1 The product information and photographs contained within Our website are provided for illustrative purposes only and We cannot warrant that they are accurate. If You are in any doubt as to the precise nature of the product You wish to order, You are advised to order samples. Details of how to do this can be found on Our website.
6.2 As the Goods You order are manufactured according to the design and measurements You provide in Your order, it is very important that Your order is accurate in this respect. We cannot accept the return of Goods by reason of the design or measurements You provided being incorrect. We recommend that You contact Us by telephone or by E-mail if You would like guidance on how to take the required measurements accurately.
6.3 Whilst every attempt will be made by Surface Designs to ensure that the Goods sold and delivered match in every respect any sample or description shown or given or sent to You, any minor or immaterial variation or change in colour or pattern between the sample or description and the Goods delivered shall not entitle You to reject the Goods nor to claim any compensation for such variation or change.
DELIVERING YOUR GOODS
7.1 We always endeavour to dispatch the Goods as quickly as physically possible.
We use DPD and other dispatch companies to that purpose. As a guide, we usually dispatch stocked material within 1 working day, products stocked in our overseas warehouse carry a 5-10 working day lead time. Our order cut off time is 1pm for same day dispatch. After this time, your order will be dispatched on the next working day. It is Your responsibility to be available to receive post and deliveries. If delivery attempts fail the goods may be returned to Us & extra delivery costs may then be incurred by You. “Leave Next Door” etc instructions if accepted will mean the goods travel at Your risk. Changing delivery addresses is extremely unreliable once the Goods have left Us. We will notify You by email to let You know that Your Goods have been dispatched. We rely on You to tell us if Your Goods have not arrived. We therefore do not entertain claims for non-delivery if You have not notified Us within 14 days of dispatch that the Goods have not arrived.
7.2 Ownership of, and risk in, the Goods will pass to You once they have been delivered to You. If You return the Goods under clauses 3 or 9, ownership of, and risk, in the Goods returned will pass to Us on receipt of the Goods by Us.
7.3 If you are not satisfied with the Goods, you can return them in their original condition and packaging within 7 days (this does not apply to any custom or bespoke cut orders, including but not limited to, products sold by the linear metre). We will issue a refund less any postage and packaging costs incurred. Please return the Goods recorded delivery as we cannot be made liable for returned Goods lost in transit. A compulsory restocking fee of 30% of the total order value minus any postage and packaging costs will be deducted from the refund amount.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR FILM
Our fitting instructions will be included with Your delivery. We recommend that You read these fully before starting to fit Your Goods. If You have any questions about fitting please contact Us. Surface Designs will not be held responsible for any problems encountered in installing Your Goods. These include, but are not limited to, the presence of bubbles, scratches, zig-zag patterns, cracked or broken windows, personal injury. Please follow the instructions carefully to avoid most common installation problems.
The sets of instructions that We provide have been compiled either by the manufacturer or through trial and error and experience and include design tips and ideas. They should only serve as a guide and cannot be blamed for bad installation or problems arising from installation.
DEFECTIVE GOODS
9.1 If Your Goods are defective on delivery, You are entitled to return them to Us provided You have first contacted Us by telephone, E-mail, or in writing within 10 working days of the delivery of the Goods in question.

If in doubt, please contact Us by telephone or by E-mail for guidance on how to pack Your Goods for return.
