2. OUR PRODUCTS
2.1 The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, photographical images may not accurately reproduce the exact shade of the Products, and we cannot guarantee that your computer’s display of the colours will accurately reflect the colour of the Products. If the precise colour of the Products is important to you, we recommend that you order a sample of the Products.
2.2 Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site are approximate.
2.3 No Products are guaranteed against variation from samples and/or descriptions.
2.4 The pigments of coloured grouts may penetrate the surface of some Products, but this does not constitute product failure. Sufficient test Product should be purchased to ensure the desired effect can be achieved. Where the Product has been sold with a known defect, the Product will only be considered for quality issues excluding any consideration of the known defect.
2.5 You should order the correct quantity of the Products required at any one time as we cannot guarantee to repeat the same shade. Shade variation is an inherent characteristic within the manufacture of tiles. We will not be responsible for any shade variation in the Products.
2.6 We will not accept any claims whatsoever if the Products have been fixed. All Products should be checked for shade, texture and size at the time of delivery and before fixing. Fixing to a substrate means that you have accepted the splashbacks and tiles in their present state, so no refunds or replacements will be offered.
2.7 The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown on images on our site.

9. CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS
Your Consumer Cancellation Rights
9.1 If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract during the period set out in paragraph 9.2. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or decide for any other reason that you do not want to receive or keep a Product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of:
(a) any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery;
(b) any Products which have been opened, for example grout or adhesive, unless faulty; or
(c) any Products that are not in their original packaging and a re-saleable condition.
9.2 Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order), which is when the Contract between us is formed. The end date is the end of 28 days after the day on which you receive the Product. For Example: if we provide you with a Dispatch Confirmation on 1 January and you receive the Product on 10 January you may cancel at any time between 1 January and the end of the day on 7th February.
9.3 To cancel a Contract, you just need to let us know that you have decided to cancel. You can e-mail us at enquiries@insightretail.co.uk or contact our Customer Services team by post to Insight Retail Ltd, 4 Claridge Court, Lower Kings Road, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4 2AF. If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the e-mail or post the letter to us. For example, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your letter into the last post on the last day of the cancellation period or e-mail us before midnight on that day.
9.4 If you cancel your Contract we will:
(a) refund you the price you paid for the Products. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer, provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method.
(c) make any refunds due to you as soon as possible and in any event within the deadlines indicated below:
(i) if you have received the Product and we have not offered to collect it from you: 28 days after the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us; or
(ii) if you have not received the Product or you have received it and we have offered to collect it from you: 28 days after you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract.
9.5 We will refund you on the credit card or debit card used by you to pay. If you used vouchers to pay for the Product we may refund you in vouchers.
9.6 If a Product has been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract, you must return it to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 28 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract. Unless the Product is faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the Products to us. If we offer to collect the Product from you, you will be charged the direct cost to us of the collection.
9.7 Because you are a consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Products that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. These legal rights are not affected by your right of return and refund in this paragraph , or anything else in these Terms. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
9.8 A ‘Return’ is classified as occurring after the 28 day cancellation period. We regret that we cannot accept any returns once the 28 day cancellation period has expired unless the product is faulty or not as described. Where any product is proven to be defective we shall replace the Products, or refund the price paid for the Products in question. All replacements for damaged products will be sent on our standard delivery service at our cost. Any claims for damages or shortages must be reported within three (3) days of the Products being received by you.
10. DELIVERY
10.1 Your item should be delivered within 5 days after the date of the Dispatch Confirmation (the date on which we e-mail you to confirm our acceptance of your order).

10.7 If we miss the 30 day delivery deadline for any Products then you may cancel your Order straight away if any of the following apply:

(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances), or you otherwise told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential.
10.8 If you do not wish to cancel your order straight away, or do not have the right to do so under paragraph 10.7, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can cancel your Order if we do not meet the new deadline.
10.9 If you do choose to cancel your Order for late delivery under paragraph 10.7 or paragraph 10.8, you can do so for just some of the Products or all of them, unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. If the Products have been delivered to you, you will have to return them to us or allow us to collect them, the cost of which will be our responsibility. After you cancel your Order we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled Products and their delivery.
10.10 Unfortunately, we do not ordinarily deliver to addresses outside the UK. You may place an order for Products from outside the UK, but this order must be for delivery to an address in the UK. To discuss delivery outside the UK please contact us at enquiries@insightretail.co.uk
11. PRICE OF PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY CHARGES
11.1 The prices of the Products will be as quoted on our site at the time you submit your order. Prices for our Products may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
11.2 The price of a Product includes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you need to pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
11.3 The price of a Product does include delivery charges. [Our delivery charges are as advised to you during the check-out process, before you confirm your order. To check relevant delivery charges, please refer to section 10.]

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
