Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Small Bathroom Designers from and against all liabilities for such taxes or charges and attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by Small Bathroom Designers in connection therewith.

We will request your acceptance of any special order and your acceptance of the lead time. Once a special order has been ordered we can not accept cancellation.

Delivery

1. Small Bathroom Designers shall reserve the right to make deliveries or perform services in instalments (this will be notified in writing prior to delivery). Partial shipments or performance will be billed as made and payments therefore are subject to the terms of payment referenced herein.
2. All delivery indications or completion dates are estimated and are dependent in part upon prompt receipt of all necessary information to service an order. Small Bathroom Designers reserves the right to allocate, in its sole discretion, inventories, production, and services when such allocation becomes necessary. In no event will Small Bathroom Designers be liable for any premium transportation, re-procurement, or other costs or losses incurred by Buyer as a result of Small Bathroom Designers failure to deliver products in accordance with indicated delivery/performance schedules.
3. If goods are ordered at the weekend or on a bank holiday, the order on the next working day and delivery dates will vary accordingly. If a delivery would normally fall due over the Christmas shutdown period, the delivery period may be extended to a later date. We endeavour to deliver all goods on time, however delays are possible.
4. For large orders, please ensure that someone is available to help the driver move the goods from the delivery van to your premises. Our pallet couriers only supply 1 driver to deliver your order and are not insured or obliged to assist in carrying your goods into/onto your property. The extent of their contract is to wheel your pallet on to your driveway/path, not to physically move them into your garage or property. Deliveries are made to the nearest hard road point and for the avoidance of doubt we are only insured and required to deliver the Goods to your delivery address and not to bring them into a property or install them. For large orders a pallet will invariably be used to transport your Goods, this pallet is your responsibility when delivered to dispose of as deemed necessary. It is not the delivery drivers responsibility to take this away with them.
5. We endeavour to deliver most products within 7 days; however some items may take longer due to fluctuating stock levels from our suppliers/manufacturers. All delivery dates given are only and always provisional, whilst we strive to always deliver on a pre-organised, amicable day, sometimes it is completely out of our control that situations arise that we can not foresee. Where we can we will try to notify of a potential problem with deliveries or times, however sometimes it is not always possible to do so. Small Bathroom Designers are not bound by any delivery day/dates that either we or our sub-contracted couriers have organised. If the delivery has not taken place through no fault of your own, then Small Bathroom Designers will often arrange another suitable date at yours and our convenience. For the avoidance of any doubt we shall not be liable for any loss arising from delay in delivery or non-delivery.
6. Before signing for goods please ensure that all products have been carefully inspected for any courier damage. In the case of pallet deliveries please check all goods carefully, and in the unlikely event of damage please return the damaged goods to the driver and take receipt of the good items. A full set of Delivery Guidelines will be emailed to you upon receipt of any order that require a pallet delivery.
7. Tradesmen should not be booked until goods are received and checked thoroughly. Small Bathroom Designers can not accept liability or 3rd part costs incurred as a result of any delays in despatch. Please allow a suitable timescale before your plumber/installer starts work to the delivery of your goods, so that in the unlikely event of any damages, suitable time can be given to the replacement of said goods.
8. All delivery charges are clearly displayed on the basket stage of your order. These carriage charges are based on standard UK Mainland deliveries using our economy delivery schedule. In most instances delivery timescales can be improved however these may be subject to a carriage surcharge. The following areas/locations may be subject to a carriage surcharge: AB, DD, PH, IV, KW, IM, BT, IW, SI, GY, JE, HS, ZE or Non UK Mainland Islands i.e Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight, Shetland Islands etc. Please ring for full details and a price will be given on application. You will be notified prior to delivery if your order incurs a postal surcharge.
9. Goods can only be delivered to the customer’s address (they cannot be left with a neighbour) and must be checked and signed for. If the delivery is to a communal building like a block of flats, please note that the driver may require help unloading. The Carrier may also ask to see identification before leaving the goods, (to protect us from Credit Card fraud).

Damaged or Missing Goods

1. Please inspect goods thoroughly before signing, if it is not possible sign the proof of delivery note as “unchecked”.
