Where to find information about us and our products
You can find everything you need to know about us, Maple & Stone Limited T/A Prenwood, and our products on our website Prenwood – Bespoke Kitchens & Furniture or from our sales staff before you order. We also confirm the key information to you in writing after you order, either by email or on paper.

We don’t give business customers all the same rights as consumers for example, business customers can’t cancel their orders, they have different rights where there is a problem with a product and we don’t compensate them in the same way for losses caused by us or our products. Where a term applies just to businesses or just to consumers, this is clearly stated. You are a business customer if you are buying products wholly or mainly for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession, even if you are an individual.

 

WHEN YOU BUY FROM US YOU ARE AGREEING THAT:

1. Basis of our contract with you

 

  1. Our quotation does not constitute an offer and is only valid for a period of fourteen days from its date of issue.
  2. Your order is an offer to purchase in accordance with our terms as applicable at the date your order is placed. Our terms apply 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.
  3. We only accept orders when we’ve checked them and the deposit has been paid. We will confirm in writing when we’ve accepted your order and at that point the contract between us comes into existence.
  4. Sometimes we reject orders Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because a product is unexpectedly out of stock, because a credit reference we have obtained is unsatisfactory, because you are located outside our delivery areas, or because the product or service was mispriced by us. When this happens, we let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.
  5. If you are a business customer this is our entire agreement with you. If you are a business customer these terms constitute the entire agreement between us in relation to your purchase. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by us or on our behalf which is not set out in these terms and that you have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in this agreement.

2. Products

 

  1. Products can vary slightly from their pictures Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by us and any illustrations or descriptions of products or services on our website or contained in catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the products and services described in them and do not form part of any contract between us. In particular, where products are sourced from natural materials there will always be deviations in colours, textures and appearance.
  2. You’re responsible for making sure your order and any measurements are accurate you are responsible for ensuring the terms of your order are accurate and, where we’re making or supplying a product to measurements you provide, you’re responsible for making sure those measurements are correct.

3. Changes 

 

  1. We can always change these terms or a product or service:
    1. to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
    2. to make minor technical adjustments and improvements that don’t affect your use of the product or service.
  2.  If we wish to make a change other than permitted under clause 3.1 above after the contract between us has come into existence we’ll notify you and give you the option to end the contract before the change takes effect and receive a refund for any products or services you’ve paid for in advance, but won’t receive.

4. Charges and payment 

 

  1. We charge you 
    1. a fifty percent deposit plus the full price applicable to any appliances or white goods when you order; and
    2. where products are purchased for delivery only, for the full balance prior to delivery taking place; or
    3. where we are providing delivery and installation services:-
      1. for forty percent of the remaining balance seven days prior to the agreed installation date (this will still be payable if you request a delay to the installation date after the invoice has been submitted); and
      2. the balance on completion of the installation.
  2. We charge you if you don’t give us information we need or do preparatory work as agreed with us. We charge you additional sums if you don’t give us information we’ve asked for about how we can access your property for delivery, installation or to provide services or if you don’t do preparatory work for installation, as agreed with us. For example, we might need to re-deliver on another vehicle or with extra manpower or reschedule services.
  3. If you are a business customer you have no set-off rights. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
  4. We charge interest on late payments. If we’re unable to collect any payment you owe us we charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. This interest accrues on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You pay us the interest together with any overdue amount.
  5. We pass on increases in VAT If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

5. Delivery and installation

 

  1. Any dates quoted for delivery and/or installation are approximate only, and time is not of the essence.
  2. We’re not responsible for delays which:-
    1. are due to your failure to carry out any required preparation works or to provide us with any requested information, adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply or installation of your products; or 
    2. are otherwise outside our control If our supply or installation of your product is delayed by an event outside our control, we contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do what we can to reduce the delay. As long as we do this, we won’t compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can contact our Customer Service Team: [email protected] to end the contract and receive a refund for any products or services you have paid for in advance, but not received.
  3. You are responsible for preparing your premises and ensuring that we have such access and facilities as may be necessary to enable us to complete delivery and installation. We will normally confirm our requirements to you seven days prior to any agreed installation date.

6. Your right to change your mind

 

  1. Right to change your mind. If you are a consumer and you placed your order by email you have a legal right to change your mind about your purchase and receive a refund of what you paid for it, including the delivery costs. This is subject to some conditions, as set out below.
  2. When you can’t change your mind. You can’t change your mind about an order for:
    1. services, once these have been completed;
    2. products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them;
    3. goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; and
    4. goods which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
  3. The deadline for changing your mind. If you change your mind you must let us know no later than 14 days after:
    1. the day we deliver your product, where it is goods. If the goods are split into several deliveries over different days, the period runs from the day after the last delivery.
    2. the day we confirm we have accepted your order, if it is for a service (installation) unless we agree with you that the service is to commence prior to the deadline for changing your mind in which case you waive the right to change your mind on the date delivery of the service commences.
  4. How to let us know. To let us know you want to change your mind, contact our Customer Service Team: [email protected].
  5. You have to return products at your own cost within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind. You can:
    1. bring the product to our showroom at 5 Abbey Road North, Wrexham LL13 9RX. You will need your email receipt and the card you paid with;
    2. send the product back to us, using an established delivery service. You should keep a receipt or other evidence from the delivery service that proves you have sent the product and when you sent it. If you don’t do this and we don’t receive the goods at all or within a reasonable time we won’t refund you the price. For help with returns, including our collection arrangements for goods which can’t be posted, contact our Customer Service Team: : [email protected].
  6. We only refund standard delivery costs. We don’t refund any extra you have paid for express delivery or delivery at a particular time.
  7. We reduce your refund if you have used or damaged a product. If you handle the product in a way which would not be acceptable in-store, we reduce your refund, to compensate us for its reduced value. For example, we reduce your refund if the product’s condition is not “as new”, price tags have been removed, the packaging is damaged or accessories are missing. In some cases, because of the way you have treated the product, no refund may be due. Our Customer Service Team: [email protected] can advise you on whether we’re likely to reduce your refund.
  8. When and how we refund you. If your product is a service, or goods that haven’t been delivered or that we’re collecting from you, we refund you as soon as possible and within 14 days of you telling us you’ve changed your mind. If your product is goods that you’re sending back to us, we refund you within 14 days of receiving them back from you. We refund you by the method you used for payment. We don’t charge a fee for the refund.
