4. How The Contract Is Formed Between Us & You
4.1 Your order constitutes an offer to Us to buy Goods. All orders placed by You are subject to acceptance by Us. We will confirm such acceptance to You by email (the Acceptance).

4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Goods whose order We have confirmed in the Acceptance. We will not be obliged to supply any other Goods which may have been part of your order until the order of such Goods has been accepted by a separate Acceptance.

4.3 Each order for Goods by You to Us will be deemed to be an offer by You to purchase Goods subject to these Conditions.

4.4 You must ensure that the terms of your order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.

4.5 We reserve the right to correct any typographical or clerical error or omission on our site, in any sales literature, price list, quotation, Acceptance, specification, invoice or other document or information issued by Us, without any liability on our part and without notice.

4.6 Descriptions appearing on our site or contained in catalogues, brochures or in any other publicity material are given in good faith. All weights and dimensions are approximate only and maximum load capacities stated are for evenly distributed loads only. Information may be varied or amended by us at any time without notice. Whilst every endeavour is made to ensure accuracy of representative photographs and images of the Goods, errors may occur and design detail may change. For this reason, fabric and material samples are available on request and any advice provided by Us shall be provided without liability to You.

4.7 Material finishes and product colours shown on our site are for illustrative purposes only and can vary when viewed on different electronic devices. For this reason, we cannot guarantee that your device will accurately reflect the true colour and finish of the Goods. For this reason, fabric and material samples are available on request.

4.8 All Goods are supplied on condition that You undertake at all times to take notice of and comply with all instructions, statements and recommendations issued with or relating to the Goods and to take all reasonable and prudent precautions as to their use. We shall not be liable to You or to any third party for any loss or damage which arises from your misuse of the Goods.

4.9 All intellectual property rights in relation to the Goods and any associated design software and designs, data sheets, packaging and literature are and shall remain (as between You and Us) our sole and exclusive property and no licence (except in relation to any reasonable use for which the Goods are supplied) shall be implied.

4.10 These Conditions will be incorporated in the Contract to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.


5. Consumer Rights
5.1 For the purposes of these Conditions, You shall be contracting as a consumer if You are not acting for the purposes of your business, trade or profession in purchasing Goods from Us. All other customers shall be contracting as business customers. If You are contracting as a consumer, you may, with the exception of terms given in clause 5.7, cancel a Contract (without giving any reason for cancellation) at any time within the period:

(a) beginning upon the submission of your order; and
(b) ending at the end of 14 days after the day on which the Goods come into your physical possession or the physical possession of a person identified by you to take possession of them.

5.2 In order to cancel a Contract on the basis described in clause 5.1, You must inform Us of your decision to cancel. You may inform Us by means of any clear statement setting out the decision. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for You to send your communication concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

5.3 For cancellation requests please contact Us in writing at [email protected]. We will advise you of the process by which Goods can be returned to Us. You must not send the Goods back to Us or hand them over to Us without receiving return instructions from Us as we operate multiple dispatch locations. You must comply with your obligations referred to in this clause 5.3 without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you inform us of your decision to cancel the Contract. You must pay the direct cost of returning the Goods.

5.4 If You cancel a Contract on the basis described in clause 5.1, You will receive a full refund of the amount You paid to Us in respect of the order, excluding any additional or special carriage charges paid for the delivery of the goods to You. Any cost related to the return of Goods when arranged by Us will be deducted from your refund.

5.5 Goods should be returned in original packaging, unused and suitable for resale. If the value of the Goods returned by You is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those Goods by You beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods, We may recover that amount from You up to the Contract price. We may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to You or require You to pay that amount direct to Us. Handling which goes beyond the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a store will be "beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods" for these purposes.

5.6 Unless We have offered to collect the Goods, We will process a refund due to You as a result of a cancellation on the basis described in clause 5.1 within the period of 30 days after the day on which We receive the returned Goods. If We have not sent the Goods to You at the time of cancellation or have offered to collect the Goods, We will process a refund due to You without undue delay and, in any case, within the period of 30 days after the day on which We are informed of the cancellation.

5.7 You will not have the right to cancel a Contract on the basis described in clause 5.1 in respect of any non-stock Goods, nor for any Goods which are bespoke, made-to-order, personalised, customised, made to your specification or specially ordered (Restricted Goods).

6.2 Subject to clause 6.1, all Goods are available for sale within the United Kingdom.

6.3 Prices quoted include free delivery anywhere within Great Britain, excluding the Highlands and Islands (unless otherwise stated on our website). In some cases, specific carriage terms may apply to individual items. These charges are noted on the product page for each item on our website. For deliveries outside this area, or any special delivery requests made by You, a carriage charge will be advised and agreed with You prior to order Acceptance. Please contact us by telephone on 0333 22 00 375 or by email at [email protected] for details of those charges.

6.4 We will endeavour to fulfil your order by the estimated delivery date. Please note that any statement or other indication of delivery times appearing in any Acceptance or on our site appears as a guide only. In no event shall we be liable for any delay in delivering the Goods, howsoever caused.

6.5 We may deliver the Goods on the Acceptance by separate instalments. Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle You to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.

6.6 We will deliver the Goods ordered by You to the address You give us for delivery when You place your order. It is your responsibility to ensure that the delivery address is accurate and complete; You must also ensure that there will be somebody available to sign for and take delivery of the Goods. If ordering on behalf of a third party, You are giving Us permission to use their delivery details, solely for the fulfilment of the order.

6.7 Any attempted delivery which is refused at the delivery address or which, through no fault of our own, cannot be delivered at the delivery address, will be returned. Any subsequent attempt to re-deliver the Goods may be chargeable. The amount of the re-delivery charge depends on the carrier used to effect re-delivery.

6.8 In accordance with normal transport practices all goods will be kerbside delivery, or delivered to the goods inwards department or reception on the ground floor. Off-loading facilities must be provided by You. If further transfer or installation is required, particularly for large and heavy items, this must be requested at the time of ordering and an additional charge will be levied. Please note that a signed consignment note constitutes delivery of goods. Please check that the number of boxes received corresponds with the delivery note before signing.

6.9 Notification of non-delivery must be made in writing by You within 7 days of invoice date and for shortages, incorrect delivery or damage within 3 days of receipt of goods. Failing this no claims will be entertained.

6.10 Due to our policy of continuous product development, we reserve the right to change product specifications without prior notice and without liability to You.

6.11 In the event that You are in breach of the Contract, We reserve the right to refuse to supply You with any additional Goods, or to suspend the delivery of any Goods, without limiting any other remedy available to Us.

7.1 The Goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

7.2 Ownership of the Goods will only pass to You when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Goods, including carriage charges.

7.5 If You are contracting as a business customer, your right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately, if:
(a) You have a bankruptcy order made against you or make an arrangement or composition with your creditors, or otherwise take the benefit of any statutory provision for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors, or (being a body corporate) convene a meeting of creditors (whether formal or informal), or enter into liquidation (whether voluntary or compulsory) except a solvent voluntary liquidation for the purpose only of reconstruction or amalgamation, or have a receiver and/or manager, administrator or administrative receiver appointed of its undertaking or any part thereof, or a resolution is passed or a petition presented to any court for your winding up or for the granting of an administration order in respect of You, or any proceedings are commenced relating to your insolvency or possible insolvency; or
(b) You suffer or allow any execution, whether legal or equitable, to be levied on your property or be obtained against You or you are unable to pay your debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986, or you cease to trade, or you encumber or in any other way charge the Goods.

7.6 If You are contracting as a business customer and if:
(a) You are late in paying for the Goods; or
(b) You are late in paying for any other goods supplied by Us; or if
(c) before title to the Goods passes to You, You become subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.5 (a) or (b), or We reasonably believe that any such event is about to happen and notify You accordingly, then:
(d) without limiting any other right or remedy We may have, We may at any time require You to deliver up the Goods and, if You fail to do so promptly, We may (during normal business hours and with or without vehicles) enter any premises of yours or of any third party where the Goods are stored or kept in order to recover them. You shall not keep the Goods at any premises in respect of which You do not have the right to grant access to Us.


8. Price & Payment
8.1 The price of the Goods will be as quoted by Us or as published on our site, except in cases of obvious error.

8.2 All prices are subject to any applicable UK VAT.

8.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which We have already sent You an Acceptance.

8.4 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our Acceptance. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject your order and notify You of such rejection.

8.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Goods to You at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent You an Acceptance, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by You as a mispricing.

8.6 Preferred method of payment is by credit/debit card or by bank transfer payment. Unless You hold a credit account with us, full payment must be made prior to order Acceptance. Secure card payments can be made by VISA, Mastercard, Delta, Switch, Solo, JCB, American Express, VISA Electron or by PayPal. You can enter your payment details at checkout or call us on 0333 22 00 375 to place your order.

8.7 Payment is required prior to dispatch unless credit terms have been agreed.

8.8 Our payment terms for credit accounts are 30 days end of month. All payments must be made in sterling (GBP). If you are in default, we reserve the right to charge interest on overdue accounts at a rate of 5% above Bank of England base lending rate for each month or part thereof that You remain in default. We reserve the right to withhold dispatch of the Goods if your account is in arrears.


9. Damages, Shortages & Returns
9.1 If You are contracting with Us as a business customer, You have 3 days following your receipt of the Goods to report any damage to, defect in, incorrect delivery or shortage of the Goods by contacting Us by telephone on 0333 22 00 375 or by emailing [email protected]. We will require full details of the reported damage or defect and may request images. The Goods must remain in the original packaging and if requested by Us be promptly returned. Once We have verified the damage to, defect in or shortage of the Goods, We shall issue a replacement or a refund (including postage) to You via your original payment method. You have an obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods whilst they are in your possession. We may refuse to replace or refund any Goods returned to Us if We consider that You have failed to take reasonable care of the Goods.

9.2 Unwanted Goods or Goods ordered in error may be accepted for return only with the express permission of Us. Please also note that a minimum restocking charge of 30% of the sale price of the goods will apply. Please contact Us to raise a return request by calling Us on 0333 22 00 375 or by emailing [email protected].

9.3 Desks installations, Made-to-order non-stock, bespoke or customised Goods are Restricted Goods and cannot be accepted back into stock. If You need to cancel Restricted Goods for any reason, this can only be accommodated within 24 hours of placing the order. If accepted, charges may apply to cover any costs incurred. If a cancellation is possible after 24 hours, Sit-Stand.Com will charge a cancellation fee as it is unlikely that we could resell Restricted Goods to another customer.

9.4 Refused deliveries for Restricted Goods are not eligible for credit. Our usual refund policy does not apply to Restricted Goods, which cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty.

9.5 Goods agreed for return must be returned in their original packaging, unused, unassembled and suitable for resale. Credit shall not be given for goods received damaged. You shall be, unless otherwise agreed by Us, responsible for the cost of return and restocking as outlined in paragraph 9.2 above. Goods returned shall remain at your risk until receipt of the goods by Us. Where it has been agreed that You arrange the return delivery, the proof of return will remain with You.

9.6 If the value of the Goods returned by You is diminished by any amount as a result of the handling of those Goods by You, We may recover that amount from You up to the Contract price. We may recover that amount by deducting it from any refund due to You or require You to pay that amount direct to Us.

9.7 If You are contracting with Us as a consumer, clauses 9.8-9.9 summarise your key legal rights in relation to the Goods, which are subject to certain exceptions. Damages should be reported within three working days - this does not affect your statutory rights.

9.8 The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected life of the Goods, You are entitled to the following:
(a) up to 30 days: if the Goods are damaged or defective, then You can get a refund;
(b) up to six months: if the damaged or defective Goods cannot be repaired or replaced, then You are entitled to a refund of up to the full amount, in most cases;
(c) up to six years: in the event that the Goods can be expected to last up to six years then You may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if the Goods cannot be repaired or replaced, You may be entitled to some of your money back.

You must either return the Goods to Us sending a confirmation of collection or allow Us to collect the Goods from You. You will liable to pay the reasonable costs of return or collection.
