3     Our contract with you

3.1 How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place either when we email you to accept it or once the order via our website has been completed and you receive a conformation of such completion, at which point in each case a contract will come into existence between you and us.

3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, you will be notified via our website or we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the product. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product.

3.3 We sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of our products in the UK. Unless we agree otherwise in writing we will not supply any products to any location outside of the UK.

4     Our products

4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. 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 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.

4.3 Products are antiques. The products we sell are antiques and second-hand and by their nature are unlikely to be in a perfect condition and some may be damaged.

We are based in Chertsey and you can contact us by using one of the methods under clause 2.2.

4.4 Product description. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that product descriptions are accurate, this cannot always be guaranteed. Descriptions as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition and value are based on an opinion or information provided by the seller of the product to us and we give no guarantees or assurances that this information is correct or accurate. This does not however affect your rights under our faulty goods returns policy (see clause 11 for more information).

This is without prejudice to your legal rights in relation to such goods.

6     Providing the products

6.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website, which will be added to your basket at checkout but before payment is made. We may in our absolute discretion provide a discount on the delivery charges where you purchase multiple goods or where the actual cost to us of delivery of the products is less than initially anticipated. Where we elect to provide such a discount we will amend your invoice accordingly or refund you the relevant amount when we dispatch or when you collect the last product to which the relevant order relates, or where the refund is because the delivery charges are less that we anticipated then we will make the refund within 28 (twenty eight) days of the actual delivery costs being confirmed to us. Refunds will be made to the account from which the original payment was made.

6.2 When we will provide the products. If you have selected delivery as opposed to collection, the estimated delivery time will be displayed on our website when you select the relevant delivery option. If you have purchased products via a telephone order then you will be referred to our website to confirm the estimated delivery date. Orders are usually dispatched within 1 (one) working day of cleared payment from you for the relevant goods however dispatch dates may be longer for large or fragile products. We do not however guarantee that goods will be dispatched within any particular time frame but we endeavour to dispatch goods as soon as reasonably practicable.

6.3 Collection only. For some framed/glazed items, including but not limited to posters and prints, if we are to deliver the product, the product will be removed from its frame and sent in appropriate packaging and the frame will need to be collected by you due to its size and fragile nature. This will be shown in the product description or notified to you by us separately where applicable. If you do not arrange to collect the frame within 28 (twenty eight) days of the date of your order then we may, without incurring any liability whatsoever to you, dispose of the frame in such manner as we in our sole discretion determine (including but not limited to donating it to charity).

6.4 Courier reference. We are able to provide courier reference or tracking numbers on request in respect of goods we deliver to you.

6.5 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.

6.6 Collection by you. If you have asked to collect the products from our premises, please contact us using one of the methods at clause 2.2 to arrange a convenient collection date and time.

6.7 If you are not at home when the product is delivered. Once your product has been dispatched, the delivery arrangements will be between the courier and the customer, in line with the couriers delivery policy, unless the product is damaged in transit (in which case clause 9 applies). If you are not available to accept delivery of the products then it is your responsibility to liaise with the relevant courier to organise an alternative time for delivery and we will not have any liability to you whatsoever for any delay in delivery resulting from your availability to accept delivery or your failure or delay in arranging alternative delivery arrangements.

6.8 If you do not re-arrange delivery. Once your product has been dispatched, the delivery arrangements will be between the courier and you, in line with the courier’s delivery policy, unless the product is damaged in transit (in which case clause 9 applies). If the relevant courier returns the products to us then we may arrange storage of the relevant products and we may charge you for such storage, currently charged at £5 (five pounds) + VAT per item per day.

6.9 Your legal rights if we deliver goods late. You have legal rights if our courier delivers any goods late, provided that it is acknowledged that any delivery dates specified on our website are estimates only. Subject to clause 6.5, if we miss the delivery deadline (to the extent a delivery deadline has been agreed) for any goods then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:

6.91 we have refused to deliver the goods;

6.9.2 delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or

6.9.3 you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.

6.10 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 9, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.

6.11 Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 9 or clause 6.10, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on 01932 640113 or 07983930113 or email us at phil@pm-antiques.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection.

6.12 When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.

6.13 When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full and until that time the goods remain our property.

We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, your name, your email address, your billing address, the address to which you require the products to be delivered (where applicable) and a contact telephone number. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

12.4 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

12.5 How you must pay. We at our absolute discretion accept payment via bank transfer, PayPal or cash upon collection. We do not accept payments via cheque or card payments over the telephone.

12.6 When you must pay. You must pay for the goods by no later than 1 (one) working day after we accept your order and before we dispatch the goods. Where you are making a purchase online you will be required to make payment on or prior to completion of your order.

12.7 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% (four percent) a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

12.8 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

13     Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

13.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaching these terms or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

13.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products.

13.3 When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the services.

13.4 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

15.1 We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within 30 (thirty) days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.

15.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.

15.3 Nobody else has any rights under these terms (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). these terms are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

15.4 If a court finds part of these terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

15.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

15.6 Which laws apply to these terms and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
