In order to make a purchase we will ask for personal information in order to set up the account and you agree to provide accurate, current, complete and non misleading information. Our Privacy Policy outlines how this information will be collected and managed.
By placing an order you make an offer to purchase in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. We will acknowledge receipt of your order online and/or via an email order confirmation but this does not constitute our acceptance of your offer to purchase. Your offer has been accepted only when the order has been despatched. Payment is taken prior to despatch unless you have an approved credit account where payment will be due within 30 days of the invoice date.
You can return items within 14 days of receipt. Please see our Returns Information for exclusions and conditions of return.
Presentation, pricing and availability of goods
We always aim to ensure that all details, descriptions and prices appearing on this website and in other sales and marketing materials and quotations are accurate, but from time to time errors may occur. Where we have made an error in the price of an item on our website or in our offer to you we reserve the right to withdraw this item from sale at this price and present it at the correct price. If you have placed an order at the incorrect price, we will inform you of the error and give you the opportunity to confirm your order at the correct price, or cancel the order.
All items sold are subject to availability and while every effort is made to fullfil your order, products are sometimes unavailable although you have received a confirmation of your order. We will advise you by email if we have to cancel your order for this reason and your payment will be refunded.
While we try to accurately represent the colour and characteristics of an item in our photography representation of the item may be affected by the settings of the computer on which it is viewed. Samples are cut from an overall design, therefore decoration and shade may vary. Product may vary in colour from batch to batch and your order may not be from the same batch as your sample. Samples themselves may be slight seconds and should not be used for flooring purposes. Use of samples for flooring purposes will invalidate the warranty of your Ovation Flooring floor.
There is no pattern match from tile to tile for any Maria floor described as having a Random pattern in its product description. Always supply your batch number when re- ordering to match an original floor and we will endeavour to supply from the original batch if available as there may be slight colour variation from batch to batch. Always check the suitability of product supplied prior to fitting.
Ovation Flooring reserve the right to supply products in non branded packaging or in other branded packaging. This does not in any way materially affect the quality of the products themselves.
Payment
Prices are inclusive of Vat. unless your order qualifies to be free of Vat. Delivery costs are charged in addition to the product price and included in the total cost. Any additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the total cost.
If you are paying by credit or debit card, we will carry out a standard pre- authorisation check on your card upon receiving your order to ensure there are sufficient funds to settle the transaction. Goods will not be despatched until the pre- authorisation check is complete. Where the shipping address is different from the billing address then we reserve the right to undertake additional checks.
Import duties and taxes charged on international shipments are not calculated or monitored by Ovation Flooring and remain the responsibility of the importer. Note that not all our products are manufactured in the UK, some are manufactured overseas including within the EU and China. We recommend that customers requiring delivery outside of the UK should contact us before purchasing to confirm the origin of the goods and check with their local customs officials or post office for more information on applicable import duties and taxes.
Delivery of Your Order
Our delivery charges are set out in our website here.
Orders for delivery to the Isle of Man, the Scottish Isles, parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Isles and some overseas orders may be subject to a delivery surcharge. We will notify you of any surcharges prior to shipment and you will have the right to cancel your order.
Sample orders will usually be delivered by Royal Mail. All other deliveries shall take place via a carrier appointed by Ovation Flooring and/or our agents and shall be a weekday delivery between 08.00 and 19.00 unless otherwise agreed.
We will deliver the goods to the address you specify for delivery in your order. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where you would like the goods left if you are out when we deliver. We cannot guarantee that these instructions will be followed by the carrier. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence).
We will aim to deliver the goods by the date quoted for delivery but delivery times are not guaranteed and may be affected by events outside of our control, which may include for example strikes, poor weather, vehicle breakdowns, human error, postal strikes, therefore time is not of the essence. In any event, we will aim to deliver your goods within 30 days from the day after the day we received your order. If delivery is delayed beyond this time, we will contact you and either agree a mutually acceptable alternative date, or offer you a full refund.
Deliveries will be made on a truck or van. It is assumed that the delivery address will be accessible. Orders in excess of twenty (20) square metres may be delivered on a pallet, this is to ensure that your order arrives in perfect condition. The delivery driver will be unable to remove items from the pallet or take the pallet away with them. The driver will normally only be able to wheel the pallet as far as physically possible which may even be the kerbside.
On pallet deliveries please assume the delivery will be made on a long heavy goods vehicle, please contact us if there are weight, height or parking restrictions or difficult access points before your order is despatched so that we can make alternative arrangements, failure to do so may result in a failed delivery and a re-delivery charge.
Carrier orders require a signature. You must inspect all goods immediately on delivery, this means opening up any outer packaging and glancing over (but not opening) packs of flooring and accessories for visible damage. You or the person acting on your behalf must document any obvious transit damage at that time on the delivery note or else reject the delivery. All claims for damaged or missing items must be made to Ovation Flooring immediately and no later than 24 hours of receipt of goods and all damage claims must be supported by photographic attestation. Appropriate care must be taken when handling and storing damaged goods at all times.
If the carrier is unable to obtain the required signature for an arranged delivery then they will attempt a re- delivery and you will be liable for any redelivery charges or you may be required to collect your order from the Carrier’s nearest depot.
You will become the owner of the goods you have ordered when they have been delivered to you. Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or destruction.
We advise against booking fitters until your order has arrived and been checked as we cannot be liable for any consequential loss or damages resulting from the delayed delivery of your order.
Fitting Services
Details of fitters and retailers provided by us are for your information only and are not employed or controlled by Ovation Flooring. We do not check or vet fitters and do not endorse or make any representation about them or the quality of their workmanship. If you choose to use the services of any fitter introduced by Ovation Flooring then you do so entirely at your own risk.
The quality of the fitting will largely be determined by the experience and skills of your fitter. The fitting information provided by Ovation Flooring is intended as a guideline only. It will be the responsibility of your fitter to conduct a site survey and to establish the most appropriate fitting method. We cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage, including without limitation, unsatisfactory fitting as a result of the quality of the workmanship of the fitter you employ or by following fitting information provided by Ovation Flooring.
Trade Accounts
If you have a pre- approved Trade Account with us then you will have 30 days from the date of our invoice to make payment.
Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue from the date when payment becomes due calculated on a daily basis until the date of payment at the rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time in force. Such interest shall accrue after as well as before any judgment.
Trade Account holders shall pay all accounts in full and not exercise any rights of set- off or counter- claim against invoices submitted by Ovation Flooring.
Right of Cancellation
If you are a UK consumer (i.e. you are not purchasing either wholly or in part for a business, or you are not a business) you have the right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations to cancel the contract and receive a full refund in respect of all goods purchased other than customised goods. You have fourteen (14) calendar days starting on the day after you receive the goods, to cancel your contract in writing to us at Ovation Flooring, Tanner Business Centre, Waterside Mills, Greenfield, Oldham, OL3 7NH, United Kingdom, or by email to hello@ovationflooring.com, following which you must return your whole order to our nominated returns address within 14 days, labelled with your name, order number and Returns Authorisation number. There is no right of cancellation for orders from business customers or for any orders received from outside of the UK.
Any returns are made at your own cost and risk. Full details of our Returns Information are available here. You have a legal obligation to keep the goods in your possession and take reasonable care of them. If you do not do this, we may have a claim against you for compensation. If your contract is cancelled in this way we will refund any payment made when ordering, including standard UK delivery charges, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the returned goods. All non standard delivery charges including regional, express and overseas delivery charges are non refundable. Once the goods have been returned, a refund for the agreed amount will be credited to the original method of payment.
Warranties
Subject to the terms set out in our warranty statement, Ovation Flooring guarantees the flooring against damage caused by ‘wear out’ from normal use within the time period set out in this warranty statement. ‘Wear out’ is defined as loss of colour or pattern as a result of wear through the top layer(s) of the floor to the print or backing layer. In such cases Ovation Flooring will replace the damaged floor free of charge. Ovation Flooring shall not accept or be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or claim for damages (including liquidated damages). This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.
Any other claim in respect of manufacturing defects must be notified to Ovation Flooring within six (6) months of purchase otherwise any such claim shall be treated as having been waived.
