RIVERSIDE or we or us or our means RIVERSIDE SHUTTERS

Review our terms of business below

PRICE & PAYMENT
The price for any Goods ordered by you will be the price shown on the order form at the time you place your order and will include VAT at the current rate.

We will debit the price as printed on your order confirmation, from your debit or credit card when we receive your order. A legally binding contract with you will arise once Riverside has received the deposit payment for the goods in full from you.

Payment terms are 50% deposit on ordering, 50% balance is required no less than 24 hrs before agreed installation date.

DELIVERY
If you order products for delivery anywhere within Mainland UK other than to our storage depot, you will be informed of the rate of delivery charges applicable and other delivery information when you place your order. You will be notified of this additional charge before your order is accepted by us and you can confirm that you wish to proceed with your order.

We aim to fit all orders within the time specified at time of ordering. Fitting dates cannot be 100% guaranteed, but we will do our utmost to ensure goods are fitted within the stated date or soon afterwards. Time is not of the essence of this agreement and we cannot accept liability for any delay which is either minor or beyond our reasonable control or caused by a failure to gain access to the fitting address on the agreed delivery date.

CANCELING YOUR CONTRACT
Once you have placed your order and received your payment confirmation, you cannot change or cancel your order or change any of the agreed applications, measured or custom made to your requirements or specifications, as these goods will not be resalable by Riverside. The cancellation provisions in Regulation 10 of The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 do not apply to this agreement.

CANCELLATION BY US
Riverside has the right to cancel your order if we are unable to manufacture the Goods you have ordered or one or more of the goods you have ordered were listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error in the pricing information. At this point Riverside will refund your deposit in full. If we do cancel your order we will notify you by email and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your debit or credit card within 30 days of notification. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

CHANGES TO MEASUREMENTS
Any changes (in height or width) made to our measurements that were taken by us, be it by the customer, their builders and/or decorators by way of brickwork, plastering, tiling or skimming, may result in the shutters needing to be re-ordered at the customer’s cost. This will be at the full price as paid by the customer as per their signed order. We will always advise/assist builders/plasterers by way of marking walls and/or sills as a guide to the maximum and minimum lines. We cannot be responsible for trades not adhering to these guidelines. Please contact us if you need, or plan to make any changes REGARDLESS of what your builder says

FITTING
Your shutters have to be fitted level. We will always allow for tolerances when measuring on all our surveys. This is to allow movement in the framework when offering it up to the window framework. Any gapping that occurs due to uneven surfaces such as Window Sills, Reveal and ceilings will be ‘caulked’ to the best of our professional ability. This is at most times acceptable, but there are certain limits (depths) to which we can, and will caulk to. In this instance, it is generally best, and advised to leave the gapping as ‘shade gaps’.

It is not in our remit to ‘make good’ any uneven surfaces. These uneven surfaces are generally down to bad alignment when your window was originally fitted. Reveals are many times out of plumb due to bad or out of level plastering and Ceilings can ‘droop’ or ‘run-up’. In all cases, we will do our very best to hide this discrepancy, but please note this is not included in your fitting charges unless specified or requested.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Whilst every effort is made to ensure your colour matches our swatches exactly, dye batches from our manufacturers may vary slightly from time to time. We cannot guarantee an exact match even on our samples unless paint finished, as wood is a natural material and does vary slightly in grain and shade although we are very accurate with our stains.

PORTCHESTER SECURITY SHUTTERS RANGE

Provided that such products were properly installed; and such products were made or assembled exclusively from original materials and components. Any resale or other transfer of the product and/or materials after the first six (6) months voids this warranty.
