2.ORDER ACCEPTANCE / PAYMENT

Order acceptance and the completion of a contract between you and us will take place only when you make full or part payment at checkout online, in store, or by bank transfer, unless you cancel the order in accordance with our terms as below, or we do not accept it or later cancel the order. A contract of sale occurs at the point full or partial payment is made in regard to the order outlined at checkout or in a quotation we send to you directly. In all cases goods remain the property of Haus Design Retail Ltd until payment is received in full. Payment should be made in advance of delivery or collection. We reserve the right to collect back any goods that we have delivered to you if any payment is outstanding, is subsequently cancelled, proves to be invalid or is otherwise withdrawn. In such event we will deduct all associated costs of collection, the use of collection agencies and any legal costs from any part payment already received or to add these additional costs to your liability to our company, which may exceed the amount originally invoiced. Many goods we sell have a delivery lead time or are made to order. The purchase price is fixed at point of the sale contract and any subsequent change to the advertised price (such as price increases, sales offers or promotions) will not be retrospectively applied to any order already accepted.

3.NON ACCEPTANCE / REFUSAL OF TRANSACTION

We reserve the right not to accept your order or to cancel your order if any of the following apply:
We have been unable to process your payment, or payment is later cancelled by a bank or merchant service provider.
Payment has been made fraudulently or by illegal means.
The goods are unavailable from our stock.
The item/s are no longer currently available from the manufacturer.
We have made an error in product pricing, delivery cost or product description.
We do not supply to your address.

In the event that your payment has been received in part or full for an order which is subsequently cancelled you will be reimbursed in full by the same method (and where applicable to the same debit/ credit card used).

4.ORDERING AND DELIVERY

General
We try our utmost to ensure you receive an excellent delivery service. If something goes wrong we will try to rectify it. We do not offer compensation in the event of errors such missed, delayed or incorrect deliveries.

Delivery may be made by courier, pallet service or specialist delivery company depending on the type of goods, your location and the delivery service you have chosen. All deliveries require a signature to accept receipt.

If you specify a third party mailbox address we will not accept responsibility for any loss or damage after delivery is received (the point at which the courier delivers the parcel/s) as the parcel will be in the hands of another party. We will provide a standard record of delivery only.

Charges
Delivery charges will be shown at the time of order and we try to provide accurate pricing for this. We however reserve the right to change delivery charges subsequent to your online order if we discover a mistake in our pricing, we do not deliver to your area, or other information comes to light that would affect our delivery costs. You will of course be informed in such circumstance.

At checkout you need to select a delivery option appropriate to your location and the goods you are purchasing. If you select an incorrect option we will contact you and request payment of any additional charges, such as if you select parcel delivery for a furniture item that cannot be sent as a parcel.

Lead Times
Lead times are estimates and we do not offer compensation for delays. The expected delivery time is usually shown on our website in days or weeks. This is provided as a guide only and may vary due to many factors. When goods are out of stock or temporarily unavailable we will advise you of the progress of your order and an expected delivery date as soon as possible.

Storage
Once your order arrives into stock we will store it for up to 10 days free of charge, to allow us to deliver on the most convenient delivery day for you. If we have offered delivery to you but you are not ready to receive the order we reserve the right to charge for storage of large items from 10 days after we advise your order is ready at the rate of £20 per day, this includes each large item (such as one sofa, a dining table, lounge chair etc) or a group of smaller items (set of chairs, stools etc) or any items up to 2 m3. Over 2 m3 charges will apply on a pro rata basis based on volume. Charges will apply unless agreed in advance and payment must be made prior to delivery. We offer discounted storage rates for longer periods if agreed in advance.

Abandoned orders
Made to order, or special order items must be accepted as soon as possible once they come into stock. We will contact you when they arrive using the details you provide at the point of order. It is your responsibility to provide correct contact details and to update us of any errors or changes.

Up to 10 days free storage is available (see 'Storage'). We will email a reminder after around 10 days and storage charges apply. You must pay any outstanding balance upon request and take delivery or collect your order within a maximum of 40 days (unless agreed in writing in advance).

We will email you again if we do not hear back from you, or no prior arrangement has been made. After 40 days any goods with an outstanding balance, or which are not accepted for delivery will be considered as 'abandoned'. Abandoned goods remain our property and we may dispose of them as we see fit without recourse or compensation. Made to order and special order goods are non refundable. Any balance due, including storage charges, will remain payable, however the goods will no longer be available. 

Despatch
You will be informed of dispatch by email or telephone. You must inform us of non-delivery within 7 days of this confirmation so that we can make investigations and ensure goods get to you as soon as possible. We will not be held responsible for goods undelivered after 14 days if you have not informed us of their non-delivery.

Access and Installation Options
Standard deliveries will be to the ground floor entrance to the building only. Two man and 'white glove deliveries' may include delivery to a room of choice with or without installation depending on your order. Where agreed in advance installation includes light assembly of freestanding items only, such as attaching table legs, and does not include major construction tasks, assembly of complex flat packed items, attachment to any wall, floor or ceiling etc, hanging products such as mirrors, fixing lights or electrical fitting of any kind. 

A suitable delivery vehicle will need to be able to access and unload at your address. Please ensure access is possible close to your property. You must tell us if access is restricted to: certain vehicles types or sizes, specific days, or hours, or if parking restrictions prohibit unloading close to your property. If goods cannot be unloaded close to your delivery address additional charges may be incurred. If you have not made us aware of such restrictions in advance delivery may fail, or additional costs may be incurred such as handling heavy goods over distance.

You will need to be aware of the dimensions of goods to be delivered to you and check that there is sufficient access through your building including corridors, doorways, or stairs to allow straightforward delivery without restriction. For deliveries which fail due to lack of access for the size or weight of goods to be delivered or any other reason we are prevented from making delivery (such as if no one is available) we will charge for return of the order to us in addition to any delivery charge and storage charges while we hold your goods (see Storage). If subsequent redelivery is required this will also be chargeable. 

If you have paid for delivery with installation this will require clear direct access and manual handling to the first floor only. Any delivery above the first floor will require a lift of suitable capacity. Standard delivery does not include access via windows, via balconies, removing doors, over fences or similar.

Additional charges will be payable if our team are required to spend additional time on site due to access issues that we have not agreed in writing in advance.

When you place your order you agree to tell us of any circumstances that may make delivery more time consuming or complex. In the event that our delivery team have to spend additional time on site due to more complex delivery, by accepting delivery, you agree to pay any additional fees equivalent to our increased costs. If you have not paid for this extra work in advance you agree to pay any additional costs subsequent to delivery within 30 days.

We can provide delivery services where access is difficult and will be pleased to provide quotations for this service in advance.

Delivery inside your building
Delivery on your land or within your property for the purpose of delivery is at your own risk. If you are not the direct owner you should ensure you have permission for us or our teams to enter on your request. You will be responsible for any damages caused to persons, property (including access ways), or possessions. You should ensure that it is safe to allow our team access, that it is free from hazards and that you have sufficient insurance cover in place in case of accidental damage. Please ensure pets are under control.

Delivery Method
We will deliver to you using the most suitable and economical method available to us at our discretion. This may include services such as standard courier (typically for smaller items), same day courier services, delivery on our own vehicle, delivery on a pallet (all pallet deliveries are kerbside), freight delivery, and specialist (sometimes called 'white glove' or 'room of choice') delivery, which is usually chargeable. Delivery does not include placement inside your home, unpacking, or installation unless specified and agreed in advance.

Delivery Attempts
We use a number of different delivery methods to get your order to you. You will be advised when we despatch your order and the courier services we use usually offer tracking and notifications. Some courier services we use will offer you self serve 'in flight' options such as 'delivery to a neighbour' or 'leave in a safe place'. These options are entirely at your own risk as we cannot know if you have chosen them or your individual delivery environment.

If you are unavailable, refuse delivery, miss delivery, do not collect your order from the pick up point you nominated or have provided incorrect delivery information the parcel may be returned to us. We may charge you for any return costs incurred and for any subsequent redelivery costs. If either you or we cancel your order after a delivery has failed for these reasons we will deduct delivery and return costs we have incurred from any refund due (even if delivery was originally included free or at a discounted rate) in order to cover our costs in having attempted delivery on your instruction.

For some larger items a specific delivery date may be set with you in which case delivery will only be attempted once. If such a delivery is cancelled at less than 2 working days notice prior to the delivery day, if delivery fails because nobody is available to accept it, if you have supplied an incorrect delivery address, or if delivery is otherwise prevented we may charge for either or both the original delivery or redelivery at actual cost (even if this was originally included free or at a discounted rate).

If waiting time charges are incurred because you are not available to receive delivery at the agreed time or delivery is obstructed or there are complications to delivery that you have not made us aware of in advance we reserve the right to charge you an appropriate fee equivalent to the actual costs incurred subsequent to delivery. Such charges must be paid within 14 days.

Taxes and Duties
Delivery in the UK:
All our prices include VAT. We pay all import duties and tax to bring goods into the UK. Your order is then delivered to you from our London warehouse and there are no additional fees to UK customers in England, Wales, or Scotland.

Delivery Outside the UK:
Orders shipped abroad are sent “Duty Unpaid”. It is the customers responsibility to pay any import duty that is due. Charges will vary and are assessed locally. If you are not available on delivery, the address provided is incorrect, or you fail to pay clearances or duty upon demand by the courier or a transport agent this will result in delivery failure and goods may be returned to us in the UK. We will treat this as 'cancellation of order'. Charges will be incurred for return of the goods back to us in the UK and these will be deducted from any refund to you. If we are requested to re-send the order further delivery charges will apply. If you return an order from outside the UK you must arrange to pay in advance all charges related to shipping, customs clearances and duties to get the order back to us. Any costs charged to us on re-entry to the UK will be deducted from your refund. You are responsible for the cost of return and any losses or damages that may occur. In the event returned goods arrive damaged or not in new re-saleable condition (including packaging) we will not offer a refund but you may arrange collection at your cost. Original shipping charges are not refundable. 

Product Specification
We provide a description of each product and specifications which may include dimensions, materials, and other technical information. This is provided to the best of our knowledge. We will not be responsible for errors or omissions or minor variances in colours, finishes and specification.

Manufacturers may change specifications, design details or discontinue products at any time. We are not responsible for such changes but will do our best to advise you of any changes affecting your order that we are made aware of.

All electrical products are supplied to meet requirements and regulations for use in the UK. If you purchase for delivery to an overseas address you will receive the model designed for use in the UK.

5.DAMAGED, MISSING, FAULTY OR INCORRECT GOODS

Please carefully inspect your order as soon as it arrives. If packaging damaged please mark the delivery note as 'damaged' in the signature box (including hand held electronic capture devices). You may also choose to refuse the delivery and mark as 'damaged' (the goods will be returned to us). We do not accept delivery damage claims if delivery is to a mailbox service address.

If you find your order is damaged, missing any parts, faulty or is any way incorrect please contact us immediately with the details either by email at help@hauslondon.com or by telephone 020 8533 8024. You must tell us within 48 hours of receipt.

If there is a problem with the delivered item please keep all packaging and instructions and do not use. We cannot accept claims for damages if the product has been used, attached to a building or lighting that has been fitted. You should inspect all products prior to fitting or assembly. We can only collect products repackaged in original packing.

If your order was delivered to a UK address we will arrange collection from or delivery to that address (or pay your return postage costs), and for replacement as soon as possible. Collection will be limited to the method we choose. You will be responsible for repacking and sealing the package ready for collection and you may need to attach a delivery label which we will supply. Collection will be from the ground floor entrance of your building. We cannot usually provide a specific time slot for collections other than the day.

You may also return goods in person at our shop. Please bring your receipt or order number. Ensure that you receive a written confirmation that goods have been returned to us.

Orders delivered to overseas addresses must be returned to us at your own expense including any return duty charges, these costs will not be refunded.

Goods will be checked upon return. They must be complete and include all packaging and instructions. If goods returned as faulty are found not to be so, we consider the return as point '6' below 'Cancellation and Unwanted items'. We will let you know so you may decide how to proceed.

Furniture and larger items delivered by our furniture delivery service must be checked by you or your representative at the point of delivery. Report any problem to the delivery team before they leave.

We do not offer compensation in the event of a product being faulty, incorrect or damaged but will get any problem rectified as quickly as possible. We always try to ensure that your order arrives correct and in perfect condition.

6.CANCELLATION AND UNWANTED ITEMS

We want you to be happy with your purchase. For online orders your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods. You should inform us either by email at help@hauslondon.com or by telephone 020 8533 8024.

Your statutory rights are not affected under 2014 the Consumer Contracts Regulations.

This policy excludes special orders or bespoke and made to order items which have been ordered to your specification from available options, or that we do not normally hold in stock, or that have been made to order by the manufacturer.

Special orders include all upholstery, most furniture and many other items listed on this website, indicated by a lead time shown in the product description of more than 2 weeks. These items are not returnable. If you are unsure as to whether an item is special order please contact us before making your purchase.

Orders placed in any physical Haus store for goods available for collection at the time of purchase or available in store to view (for later collection or delivery) are excluded from our online returns policy and different Consumer Rights apply. We may accept returns at our discretion for a credit note or exchange within 14 days.

Orders placed in any physical Haus store for goods not available at the time of order and not on current display in store will be treated the same as online orders.

Overseas orders, Trade sales and business to business sales are excluded from the above policy and returns are at our discretion (and are not covered by UK Consumer Rights law). Usually trade orders cannot be exchanged or returned.

For hygiene reasons we do not accept return of bed covers / linen / cushions or rugs unless unused and in original and packaging. Please check such items are suitable before fully opening.

7.RETURNS

The cost of returning unwanted goods is your responsibility. You have 14 days from the date you receive your order to advise us if you wish to return anything, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back from the date you have informed us. We advise that goods should be returned by trackable delivery method and insured for their full retail value. You are responsible for them until we have received and checked them.

All returns must be boxed, sealed and labelled with the name and address below (no loose items). Please enclose a note of your order number with your returned goods (this is shown on your order confirmation email and delivery note).

Goods should be returned to the following address:

HAUS 'Returns'
Big Yellow Storage Co
400 Wick Lane
London
E3 2JG

Please ensure returned goods are suitably packed for transport. Do not write on, attach tape or labels to the product retail packaging itself as this will render the item unsaleable.

For any goods which are large, awkward, valuable or fragile it may be advisable to use a specialist transporter to collect the items you are returning. 

You can request that we collect goods on your behalf, in which case we will inform you of the cost and either request payment in advance or deduct this cost from your refund. You would remain responsible for the goods in transit until we have checked them after arrival to us (as if you had sent them back yourself) as we are unable to check goods upon collection.

When returning goods from overseas you should ensure you fill in customs declarations correctly showing the items as 'returns' and elect to pay any duty/tariffs. If we are charged duty/tariffs on your return items we may refuse the delivery or deduct these charges from your refund.

8.CONDITION

All goods must be returned in new, unused and original undamaged condition, complete with all original and undamaged packaging and instructions. New and unused means that there are no marks on the item or signs of any wear. Items that require assembly such as flat packed furniture should not have been assembled either partially or fully. Electrical items must not have been fitted or connected to a power supply. It is ok to remove an item from its packing in order to inspect it however it would not usually be necessary to open packets of loose fixings (for example). If you wish to return the item it must be carefully returned to packaging so that it is in re-saleable condition.

We reserve the right to make a deduction from any refund or not to accept an item with any indication it has been used or if it is damaged. You will have the option to request goods be returned back to you, in which case we will charge for redelivery.

9.REFUND

We will refund the basic delivery cost (if applicable), but not added delivery costs such as weekend delivery, overseas delivery or large item delivery or tariffs or duties charged at destination. We will reimburse you within 14 days of a return of goods to us (goods having been checked). If we have arranged pick up of the goods we will deduct the cost from the refund. If requested you must provide proof of purchase (if you do not have this and we are able to track your order, we may at our discretion still refund you, but we may ask you for proof of your identity and address). If you paid by credit or debit card we will only make a refund to the same card. Please note that all transactions are in Pounds Sterling. If you make payment by exchange of currency and are later refunded there maybe a difference in the amount you receive back due to currency fluctuations and your bank may make charges. This is beyond our control and we will only return the same amount we originally charged in Pounds Sterling. 

10.HOW TO COMPLAIN

We try to get things right, but if we do make a mistake please let us know and we will do our very best to resolve the matter to your satisfaction. Call us on 020 8533 8024 or email help@hauslondon.com
