Upon receipt of your completed Order Form, we will send you an email acknowledging we have received your Order Form and we will enquire on your behalf with the Third Party Retailer as to availability of the FF&E you wish to order.

13.3 Acceptance by way of issuing of invoice. Should the FF&E be available, we will issue you with an invoice for the cost of FF&E and any related services, including delivery charges.  Our acceptance of your order for FF&E and related services, if applicable, will take place when we issue you with an invoice, at which point a contract will come into existence. The contract for the supply of FF&E and related services will be between you and the Third Party Retailer.

13.4 Third Party Retailer's terms and conditions of sale. You should assume that when you are placing an order for FF&E and related services with a Third Party Retailer through the Interior Designers Hub’s site that it will be subject to that Third Party Retailer's terms and conditions of sale.  We will make Third Party Retailers’ terms and conditions available to you via a link in each Supplier Listing in our Supplier Directory. 

13.5 You must confirm you have read and accept the relevant Third Party Retailer’s terms and conditions that will apply to your purchase of FF&E and related services including delivery charges by ticking the relevant box on the Order Form. We suggest that you download a copy of the Third Party Retailer’s terms and conditions for your records.

13.6 Contract with Third Party Retailer. If you purchase FF&E and related services from a Third Party Retailer with the Interior Designers Hub as your agent, then your contract for the purchase of FF&E and related services is made between you and the relevant Third Party Retailer and not the Interior Designers Hub. It is the relevant Third Party Retailer that will be selling you the FF&E and related services.

13.7 The invoice issued by us to you is sent on behalf of the Third Party Retailer. We accept payment by bank transfer only.  You must pay the full price for FF&E and related services upon receipt of our invoice. Once you have put us in funds, we shall secure the order of the FF&E and related services on your behalf from the Third Party Retailer.

13.8 Acting as agent. When the Interior Designers Hub issues invoices and collects money in relation to FF&E and related services, we do so as agent for the relevant Third Party Retailer.

13.9 The FF&E is in the ownership, title, possession, and control of the relevant Third Party Retailer.

13.10 If we or the relevant Third Party Retailer is unable to accept all or part of your order, we will inform you of this by email. You will not be charged for any FF&E that we are unable to accept your order for.  We or the relevant Third Party Retailer might be unable to accept all or part of your order because the FF&E has been discontinued, is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the FF&E or because the relevant Third Party Retailer is unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified in the Order Form.

13.11 We will only accept orders for FF&E for delivery in the UK and Channel Islands.

13.12 Making changes. Once the contract for the purchase of FF&E and related services is made between you and the relevant Third Party Retailer, please contact us if you wish to make a change to the FF&E you have ordered.  We will let you know if the change is possible and where necessary we will check this with the relevant Third Party Retailer. If the change is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the FF&E, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract under clause 12.17 of these Terms of Sale.

13.13 Changes to FF&E. We or the relevant Third Party Retailer may change the FF&E to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the FF&E.

13.14 In addition, we may make more significant changes to these Terms of Sale or to the FF&E, including by proposing alternative FF&E where FF&E you have ordered is unavailable, but if we do so we will notify you and you may then contact us to end the contract or your purchase of a particular item under the contract, before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any FF&E paid for but not received. When you contact us, we will contact the relevant Third Party Retailer on your behalf to arrange to end your contract with them, if you request this.

13.15 Cost of delivery. The costs of delivery will be included on our invoice for FF&E and related services. Where you have purchased FF&E from a Third Party Retailer, then we will arrange for the relevant Third Party Retailer to deliver FF&E directly to you or to an address that you supply to us.  The estimated delivery date for the FF&E may vary depending on the FF&E or the Third Party Retailer. Please see the relevant Third Party Retailer's terms for more detail on the applicable delivery policies.

13.16 Delays If the supply of the FF&E is delayed by an event outside our control (including by a Third Party Retailer) 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, and in accordance with clause 14 below, we will not be liable for delays caused by such event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract. We will contact the Third Party Retailer on your behalf to end the contract if you instruct us to do so. Please refer to that Third Party Retailer's terms for your refund rights in relation to such FF&E.

13.17 Ending your contract with third party retailer. Your contract for FF&E is between you and the relevant Third Party Retailer. If you wish to end a contract for such FF&E you must contact us and we will speak to the Third Party Retailer on your behalf. However, your rights in relation to ending the contract will depend on the terms of your contract with them.

13.18 Disputes Any dispute in relation to the FF&E will be between you and the relevant Third Party Retailer.

13.19 Changing your mind. Your rights to change your mind in relation to FF&E will be governed by your contract with the relevant Third Party Retailer. For full details, please see that Third Party Retailer's returns policy. Please note that you may not have a right to change your mind in respect of all FF&E.  If you change your mind about FF&E purchased from a Third Party Retailer or wish to end the contract, please contact us by email and if possible we will arrange this with the relevant Third Party Retailer on your behalf. However, in the event of any dispute, you will need to deal with the Third Party Retailer directly.

13.20 Refunds If you end your contract with the relevant Third Party Retailer for any reason (including exercising your right to change your mind about FF&E) after the FF&E have been dispatched to you or you have received them and you want a refund, you must contact us so that we can organise this with the Third Party Retailer and process any refund due to you. In order to return FF&E, you must follow that Third Party Retailer's return procedures, which we will direct you to via a link in our Supplier Listings, prior to the issue of our invoice.   If you are unsure of which address to use in order to return items, or have any questions about returns, please contact us by email. 

13.21 Where the Third Party Retailer has agreed to issue a refund we will refund you the price you paid including any delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price where relevant, in accordance with the terms of your contract with the relevant Third Party Retailer.

13.25 Price of FF&E. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of FF&E and related services advised to you is correct. However if the price of FF&E and related services changes between date on which you place your order and the date on which we accept your order, we will notify you and endeavour to contact you for your instructions before the Third Party Retailer accepts your order. You may then contact us to end the contract for that FF&E before the changes take effect. We will notify the Third Party Retailer on your behalf that you wish to end your contract for that FF&E with them. If you have already paid for FF&E and related services that you are ordering from a Third Party Retailer in full before the change in price takes effect, then you should consult the relevant Third Party Retailer's terms for your rights.

13.26 If you think any invoice you receive is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved.

Third Party Cookie Software

We use a third party software called Cookie Info Script to help manage our cookies.

Cookie Info Script applications and data are hosted using third party hosting services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS delivers an industry-leading network of state-of-the-art data centers located around the world. Like Cookie Info Script, helping to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data is of the utmost importance to AWS, as is maintaining customer trust and confidence. AWS are certified to the US-EU Safe Harbor Principles and, in compliance with the US-EU Safe Harbor Onward Transfer Principles, act as our agent with regard to data privacy. For more details of AWS's privacy and security processes, please visit http://aws.amazon.com/privacy/ and http://aws.amazon.com/security/.

Cookie Info Script uses Cloudflare for static content distribution. This service allows the Website to distribute content using servers located across different countries and to optimize performance. Which anonymous data is processed depends on the characteristics and the way Cloudflare is implemented. Their function is to filter communications between the Website and the User’s browser. Considering the widespread distribution of this system, it is difficult to determine the locations to which the contents that may contain anonymous user information are transferred.
