3. Our contract with you
3.1 Our acceptance of your order will take place when full payment or deposit is made, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please check your pro forma invoice and ensure that all the details are correct before making payment. If you are in any doubt please contact us immediately.
3.2 If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, machine failure, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.
3.3 Our website is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Unfortunately, we do not accept orders from addresses outside the UK. We are able to deliver to most of mainland UK excluding but we will advise if we are unable to deliver to you when you place an order. If we subsequently discover that we are unable to deliver to you, you will receive a full refund.
4. Our products
4.1 The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device's display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.
4.2 We will provide technical specification details of the product we supply. Images, descriptions and specifications are provided for your information only. We have made every effort to be as accurate as possible however all sizes, dimensions and measurements indicated have a +/-4mm manufacturing tolerance.
4.3 We will endeavour to assist you regarding suitable products if required but you are responsible for ensuring the specification meets your needs and you should employ a qualified professional (such as a builder, architect or building officer) where required to confirm this. All projects are different so we are unable to confirm whether a product will meet building regulations or other standards or regulatory requirements when used in your project. If in doubt you should obtain building officer approval using our speciation before placing an order to ensure compliance on your project. Bespoke items cannot be changed once manufacturing has commenced.
4.4 If you require any further information such as test evidence or calculations these must be requested prior to placing the order. Such information is provided by the manufacturer or our supplier and we cannot guarantee it will be available for every product to a level of detail you may require.
4.5 If we are making the product to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct.
4.6 Fixings and building material need to be purchased separately unless specified clearly in our offering. It is your responsibility to ensure the fixings or building material purchased are compatible with and suitable for your purpose and product. We recommend that for certain products especially larger, heavier items that you seek professional advice from a qualified source prior to ordering to ensure that the items are fit for purpose. We will provide technical specification details for the product we supply.
4.7 It is your responsibility to ensure access; sizes, weight, fittings and any other product application requirements are suitable. We strongly advise that you do not firmly schedule any installation work until receipt of the goods. We will not be held responsible for labour or machinery cost as a result of a delayed delivery.
4.8 Our Suppliers and manufacturers are constantly striving to improve the product offering and reserve the right to alter specifications at any time without notice prior to order acceptance. Use of materials and product specification is subject to amendment at any time. On occasions we may be unable to obtain special materials and will in such cases either substitute components of at least equivalent value, functionality and appearance or, failing this, contact you to discuss how we should proceed
5.Warranty
5.1Goods may be covered by warranties given to us by the manufacturer or our supplier. Warranties are specific to each of the individual goods and no complete system warranties are provided.
5.2We do not manufacture any products and therefore do not provide any warranties ourselves however if you inform us immediately if you believe a product is defective within the warranty period, have not breached any requirements of the warranty and we agree the product is likely to be defective we will try to make a claim under the warranty.
5.3All claims made under a warranty must be made directly to us by providing the delivery note, order number/Vat invoice number and details of the fault. Please note we cannot process a warranty claim if this information is not supplied as all warranties are logged by our suppliers or manufacturers with the delivery note reference/order number. A copy of the delivery note is provided upon delivery with the product or when a product is collected. We will use reasonable endeavours to have your claim accepted by the manufacturer or supplier but can accept no liability in the event that you are unable to make a claim or if your claim is unsuccessful. We can not accept any liability ourselves under the warranties.
5.4Please note that if goods are not used in an appropriate manner, if they are improperly stored, installed, handled or are modified it is unlikely that the warranty will be valid. This warranty does not cover fair wear and tear, neglect, abuse or misuse of the products, loss or damage due to fire, smoke, lightning, sunlight, weather, rusting, corrosion, theft, or explosion, accidental damage and consequential loss. Any form of finishing/paintwork is not guaranteed.
5.5Any defective goods should be returned to the address provided by the Seller at the Buyer’s expense. In the event the manufacturer/supplier upholds the warranty claim and reimburses the cost of returning the goods the Seller shall ensure this cost is reimbursed to the Buyer.
5.6The Buyer shall pay to the Seller the cost (as certified by the Seller) of any examination of such goods as a result of which our supplier or manufacturer denies liability.
5.7If any product is found to be defective under the warranty we will endeavour to arrange through our suppliers or manufacturers the repair or replacement of the defective goods. Such repair or replacement is at our supplier’s or manufacturer’s discretion and we cannot accept liability in the event that a warranty claim is not upheld or a repair or replacement is not made.
5.8We will not accept any liability for supplementary works agreed independently between you and any third party, including our installers. Supplementary works carried out on our products prior to our written consent invalidates the guarantee.
5.9Spontaneous breakage – There is a small risk that thermally toughened glass can break for no apparent reason. Nickel sulphide inclusions (NiS) are one of many known, but not exclusive causes of ‘spontaneous’ failure. Nondetectable in float glass manufacture, the risk of NiS induced failure can be reduced by heat soak testing of thermally toughened glass, however it can never be eradicated. It is the responsibility of the specifier to determine whether heat soak testing of thermally toughened glass is required. Rooflights & Roof Lanterns do not accept any liability for ‘spontaneous’ breakage of thermally toughened glass or heat soaked thermally toughened glass due to NiS or any other cause.

You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
