Terms and Conditions
Unless specifically agreed by Warmer Ideas (hereafter referred to as “we” or “us”) in writing the following terms and conditions apply to all transactions between you and us. These terms will become legally binding on you when we issue an Order Acknowledgement to you. We reserve the right to alter these terms and conditions at any time. Each order you place is dealt with separately and will be subject to the terms current at the time you place your order.
Price
Prices quoted on the website are subject to alteration at any time. The price you pay will be that given by us on your Order Acknowledgement. It is your responsibility to check that the details on our Order Acknowledgment are correct.
Payment Terms
No items will be despatched until full payment has been received and cleared. We reserve the right to cancel any orders where full payment has not been made, or suspend any further deliveries to you. We reserve the right to refuse your order should payment difficulties arise.
Carriage Charges
Product prices include carriage if delivered in mainland England and Wales. However some parts of Scotland, offshore islands and any international deliveries may incur an extra charge. Such charges will be specified on our Order Acknowledgement.
Cancellation and Return of Goods
All orders received by us are confirmed in writing by an official “Order Acknowledgement”. This acknowledgement forms a binding contract and can only be cancelled or changed with our written consent.
Orders for stock products cancelled will attract a restocking charge of 25% providing they are returned to us in their original packaging, undamaged and in their original condition. Should that not be the case then they will attract a 75% restocking charge.
Due to the individual nature of Bespoke items , any cancellation more than 48 hours after the date of the Order Acknowledgement will be subject to a cancellation charge, to compensate for the fact that they are already in production. The level of this charge will vary depending on the work done and the costs already incurred. This charge can be up to 100% of the full price. No returns are allowed on bespoke radiators unless faulty. This in no way affects your statutory rights, and our warranty accompanying the product.
Delivery
Delivery of a product will only be to the address of the cardholder who paid for the product. Whilst we take every effort to deliver the goods within the time frame given, these are only guidelines and are subject to change. They are applicable to mainland England and Wales only, all other areas may incur a longer delivery time. We cannot accept responsibility for delays caused by factors beyond our control such as mis-instruction, manufacturing delays, strikes or adverse weather conditions.
Delivery times may be longer during holiday periods and factory closures. We advise that you do not arrange installation until the products have been received and checked. We will not be held responsible for any arrangement of installation prior to receipt and acceptance of the products and any charges incurred in respect thereof.

All products must be checked of any signs of visable damage upon reciept, which includes packaging, and we must be notified immediately if any damages are found.

No extra delivery cost will be charged unless you have specifically asked for the order to be delivered in instalments. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that does not entitle you to cancel the other instalments.
