2. Products & services

2.1 All descriptions of the products on Our Website are correct at the time of publication. Our policy of continuous product development means we reserve the right to amend the specification of products without prior notice in relation to future sales.

2.2 The measurements of the products are as accurate as possible but are nevertheless approximate. Images of the products on Our Website are for illustrative purposes only and, although we have made every effort to represent the colours as accurately as possible, we cannot guarantee that the colours shown accurately reflect the colour of the products.

2.3 We will endeavour to match the colour and texture of the fabric of your product to the samples chosen as accurately as possible, but variations in both the colour and texture may occur.

2.4 Leather products are made from high-quality natural leather and accordingly the colour and texture may not be uniform. Only the finest hides are selected but they will show natural marks and scars on the hide. Some leathers will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight and heat.

2.5 Our products are intended solely for domestic use in the UK and we give no guarantees or undertakings in respect of the use of our products for commercial purposes. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you agree that we are in no way responsible for any non-domestic or commercial use of our products and that you have no rights to cancel this purchase if you are purchasing the Product in a business capacity.

For the purpose of this clause the guarantor is G Plan Upholstery Limited, registered address: 1, Hampton Park West, Melksham, Wiltshire. SN12 6GU.

3.2 We offer a 10 Year Steel Frame & Moulded Foam Guarantee on all our Ergo and Ergoform chairs. All other G Plan sofas, armchairs and footstools despatched since 01.11.19 come with a frame and frame construction guarantee for 25 years from the date of delivery.

All G Plan guarantees cover claims by the first owner of products with normal use, purchased from Our Website and approved stockists only. They do not cover wilful damage caused by abnormal use or storage conditions, accidents, negligence by you or a third party or any commercial or institutional use. Failure to follow the written instructions in the Care Guide or provided with the product will invalidate the claim. Any alterations or repairs carried out without our written permission will also invalidate the claim. We do not recommend or endorse any form of stain protection on our fabrics. Our guarantees do not affect your Statutory Rights.

3.3 Our guarantees are limited to goods sold and retained in mainland United Kingdom and used solely in private residences and not in commercial or rental properties.

3.4 In the event of a claim under guarantee occurring, please contact online-orders@gplan.co.uk quoting your sales order number, your address, contact details and a summary of the problem with accompanying photos if requested. We will then notify you whether the claim is valid via telephone or e-mail within a reasonable period of time.

3.5 In the event of an accepted claim under guarantee we will endeavour to repair the defective goods, in your home, free of charge. If a repair is not possible you will be offered a replacement and only if a suitable replacement is not available will you be offered a refund.

3.6 We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage arising out of defective, damaged or wrongly delivered goods, over and above the value of the actual goods themselves supplied by us. This does not affect your legal rights.

3.7 We have a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with the Contract, and nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights if we fail to do so. In summary, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality and during the expected lifespan of your Product. Your legal rights entitle you to the following remedies: (a) up to 30 days: if your Product is faulty, you’re entitled to a full refund in most cases. (b) up to six months: you’re entitled to a full refund in most cases if the Products cannot be repaired or replaced. (c) up to six years: you may be entitled to some money back if the Product does not last a reasonable length of time. These are subject to certain exceptions.

4. Our liability

4.1 We warrant to you that any Product purchased from us through our site is of satisfactory quality and reasonably fit for all the purposes for which products of the kind are commonly supplied.

4.2 Our liability for losses you suffer as a result of us breaking the Contract is strictly limited to the purchase price of the Product you purchased and any losses which are a foreseeable result of us breaking the Contract or failing to use reasonable care, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage which is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or, at the time the Contract is made, both you and we knew that it might happen (for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process).

4.3 Nothing in this clause limits in any way our liability: (a) for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; (c) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (d) for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Products, including the right to receive products which are as described and match information we provided to you and any sample seen by you, of satisfactory quality and fit for any particular purpose made known to us; or (e) for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our liability.

4.4 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.

5.2 We will only give your personal information to third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.

6. Events outside our control

6.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performing, any of our obligations under a Contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (Force Majeure Event).
