6. Quality

6.1 We warrant that on delivery, the Deliverables will conform with their description and the Fee Proposal and be fit for any purpose expressly or impliedly made known by You or in lieu of the same, any purpose held out by Us.

6.2 Although we make every effort to ensure that our products are similar when required, appearances will vary because these products are handmade from natural and/or non-standard material. Some materials i.e. wood will mellow with age and exposure to sunlight. When you are purchasing products from us, you are buying bespoke products made from raw materials where varying degrees of tooling, moulding and distressing is applied. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the products will be of uniformed appearance or that they will be similar as other items you have ordered or other items on our website.

6.3 We can also not guarantee an exact colour match of painted product. We recommend that you use a colour tester on the actual surface to be painted before deciding on your colour. This will give you a better indication of the appearance of the actual colour, which can be affected by the substrate and the texture of the surface, or by soft furnishings and the shape, size and lighting of the room. Please note that colour testers indicate the colour of the product only, and are not representative of the quality or sheen of the end product.

6.4 We will not be liable for the Deliverables’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 6.1 if the defect arises as a result of Us following any drawing, design, instruction or specification supplied by You; or the Deliverables differ from the Fee Proposal as a result of changes made to ensure that they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

7. Title and risk

7.1 Except as set out in clause 7.3 below, title to the Deliverables shall pass to You when We receive payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Services and any other services supplied to You in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Deliverables shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.

7.2 Until title to the Deliverables has passed to You, You will store the Deliverables separately from all other materials held by You so that they remain readily identifiable as Our property and will maintain the Deliverables in satisfactory condition.
