CONFIRMATION OF ORDERS
We ask for a 50% deposit on all bespoke orders. An order is not confirmed until payment is received. Any delay in payment may impact on the final completion date.
Payment of the deposit invoice implies acceptance of all of the information stated within it. The liability is on the customer to ensure this is correct and as expected, so please double check all details before making payment.
The information within the deposit invoice is transferred to the workshop as as the manufacturing specification. If the customer needs to amend any details on the deposit invoice, this must be communicated in writing prior to making payment.
If the customer chooses to amend an order after the deposit is paid, we will endeavour to accommodate the changes. Please note, it may impact on the final completion date as well as incur additional charges. This will be communicated to the customer at the time of change and nothing will be put into action unless all costs and delays are agreed by the customer.
The remaining 50% balance payment and delivery costs must be paid on completion, before collection or delivery of the order.
Fabric invoices are for the full amount, and must be paid on receipt. Fabric will only be ordered once payment is received.
PAYMENTS
BACS payments can be made directly into our account using the account details specified on our invoice. We do not accept cash or card payments.
PRICING and ESTIMATES
All prices are subject to the current rate of VAT.
Estimates are valid for 3 months from the date of sending.
RRRU is entitled to amend estimates on the basis of a change in information or a difference in specification being supplied by the customer.
LEAD TIMES
Our standard lead time is 10-12 weeks on all bespoke orders. We may occasionally be able to finish the order ahead of time, but conversely there may be occasion when, due to events beyond our control, we are unable to complete the order within the quoted lead time.
In these circumstances we keep any delay to an utmost minimum and will keep you continually informed of the progress of your order.
If you have a required deadline, please communicate this on ordering, and we will make every effort to work to your deadline, however no guarantee can be made.
Reupholstery deadlines and lead times are agreed on a case by case basis and must be discussed on ordering.

If the customer requests a delay in delivery, RRRU reserves the right to raise a storage charge at its discretion .
DESCRIPTION AND TOLERANCE
All RRRU pieces are hand made to order and, whilst every effort is made to make each piece as precisely as possible, dimensions may vary slightly. A tolerance of up to 2cm is deemed acceptable.
If you do require certain dimensions to be particularly precise for specific reasons, then please make us aware of this when placing your order.

Returns of finished items will only be accepted if there is a fault with the goods. Where possible, every effort will be made to rectify any fault to a satisfactory standard before a refund is made available.
In the event of a refund being agreed, the funds will only be transferred once the goods are returned to the RRRU Studio,unused and in perfect condition. The cost of delivering retuned items is the liability of the customer.

FABRIC
Please send all fabric to Rose Raw-Rees Upholstery, Vine Street Studios, Grantham, NG31 6RQ
All fabric should be clearly labelled with the client’s name and project reference (if applicable).
Estimated quantities are based on 137cm wide plain, non-directional fabric that requires no pattern matching.
If you are specifying a patterned fabric, please make us aware of this at the time of ordering. It will often require an increased meterage, and may incur extra cost..
Leather square footage is based on clean, undamaged hides. Additional hides may be required if we receive flawed or damaged hides.
All fabrics have different characteristics, and so they may appear differently on the finished product to the original fabric sample. Different fabric companies also have varying tolerance levels for colour differences between batches. If you require an CFA (cutting for approval) to match a specific sample this must be made known in writing on ordering.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure any specific details of how fabrics are to be used is made clear. If you required pattern placement of fabrics to be done in a certain way, please specify this in writing on ordering.
FIRE RETARDANCY
To comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, a flame retardant barrier cloth is included as standard for all bespoke and re-upholstery orders. According to the regulations, this protects fabrics that are made from a minimum of 75% natural fibres. If the fabric composition means that it requires a treatment to meet the Regulation standards, this can be arranged by RRRU and extra costs incurred will be stated.
Treatments do have a lead time, and so any delays caused by legally required treatments will be communicated at the time.
It is required that COM supplied to us has been treated by the customer to ensure it is cigarette and match resistant, in compliance with the regulations, unless otherwise agreed in writing with RRRU.
Please check with the fabric supplier if you are unsure if the material meets the required regulations and if necessary, arrange for the appropriate treatment prior to its arrival at our workshop. RRRU is not responsible for the treatment of COM unless prior agreement has been made in writing
MARKETING
Unless otherwise requested by the client in writing, we reserve the right to use photos of final products for marketing purposes.
