Terms and Conditions

The Company is Dunster House Ltd.

The purchaser is the person or his agent buying upon his behalf and is responsible for all measurements and designs given to the Company.

All dimensions to be supplied in Metric. All designs are as viewed from the Outside.

Orders will only be acceptable and binding if in writing. Should the purchaser change the details of the order and the Company has commenced the manufacturing process, the Company reserves the right to make a charge for reasonable costs involved as each item is bespoke.

Any orders cancelled before the Company begins manufacturing may be subject to a charge to cover our costs such as administration costs, card fees etc.

Urgent verbal and telephone orders, to enable production and delivery space to be planned, will only be accepted on the basis that confirmation will be sent by First Class post, fax or e-mail immediately. Where the date of delivery is such to necessitate manufacture being started before such confirmation is actually received the Company shall not be liable for any unforeseeable inaccuracies in the specification of the goods manufactured except insofar as such inaccuracies are caused by negligence and/or breach of contract of the Company. The Company reserves the right to charge the purchaser, in full, for any reasonable costs incurred.

The balance is due as per our advised methods or if the order is to be collected upon collection or within 1 month of being notified that the goods are ready for collection. If you are ordering online with a debit/credit card and wish the order to be sent to a different delivery address please note that the card will need to pass a 3D Secure check such as Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode and full payment will be required, therefore there will be no outstanding balance due at any point.

If the customer fails to be on site for an agreed delivery, the goods will be returned to our factory for the customer to collect or if a re-delivery is required the Company reserves the right to do so at extra reasonable cost.

All risks in the goods shall pass to the purchaser or his agent upon delivery.

If in doubt contact the Company's offices.

All goods should be checked for design details and sizes prior to removing any existing windows or doors and before commencing your installation or hiring of a third party to install your product. Inaccuracies have been known to be caused by the surveying and/or ordering person, before commencing or organising your installation.

Due to on-site handling, installation methods and the type of opening that the goods are being installed into, minor adjustments may have to be attended to by the installer.

We may make minor technical changes to the specification of your products that will not be to the detriment of their function or appearance and will not affect the price. Any major changes will be advised for the purchaser's approval or we will refund you in full.

This order can be cancelled but as all windows, doors and other products are manufactured to the purchaser’s specific requirements and cannot be resold all costs incurred by the company up to the point of cancellation including but not limited to manufacture of the goods will be chargeable.
