Terms & Conditions

  1. Basis of order
    1. Your order (whether placed (i) electronically through our website portal or by email; (ii) by way of physical order form; or (iii) by telephone) constitutes an offer by you to purchase patchwork and quilting products and related products (Goods) in accordance with these terms and conditions (Order).
    2. Your Order will only be deemed to be accepted when we issue a written acceptance of the Order or give some other positive acknowledgement of acceptance, at which point a contract between you and us will come into existence for the purchase of the Goods in accordance with these terms and conditions. For the avoidance of doubt, we will be entitled to reject any Order at our sole discretion without giving a reason.
    3. You acknowledge that we do not sell Goods to consumers (as defined by the Consumer Rights Act 2015). It is a condition of your Order that you are not a consumer and that you are purchasing Goods solely for the purposes of a business carried on by you. Your Order will be void and we will have no further obligations to you if this condition is breached.
    4. We will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that any descriptions or images of the Goods (whether on our website or any other materials issued by us) are fair and accurate. However, our suppliers change their specifications from time to time and we will have no liability for any discrepancies.
    5. These terms and conditions apply to your Order to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.
    6. A quotation for any Goods given by us will not constitute an offer capable of acceptance and we may withdraw it at any time.
    7. You acknowledge that all Orders placed with us are binding and cannot be cancelled without our prior written consent, which we may withhold at our sole discretion. If we agree to the cancellation of your Order this will be subject to such conditions as we impose including but not limited to the retention of all (or a portion) of any payment already received by you and/or the payment by you of a proportion of the price of the Goods.
  2. Delivery
    1. We will deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as we agree with you in writing at any time after your Order.
    2. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and will not form part of the contract between us.
    3. If we fail to deliver any Goods, our liability will be limited to the total price paid by you in advance for them. We will have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods or delayed delivery to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by an Event Beyond Our Control (as defined in clause 8)or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
    4. If any Goods are returned to us as a result of you failing or being unable to accept delivery then we will store them until delivery takes place, and will be entitled to charge you for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).
    5. If two weeks after the return of the Goods to us you have not accepted actual delivery of them, we may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of them and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
    6. If we deliver up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered you may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from you on the day of delivery that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, a proportionate adjustment will be made to the Order invoice.
    7. We may deliver the Goods by instalments, which will be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.

      4. you (if asked to do so by us) return such Goods to our place of business at your cost, clearly marking any packages with the applicable returns number (which must first be obtained from us), we will, at our option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.
