3.4 Delivery is to the nearest kerbside of your address. Some drivers are happy to take items to your front door or into the property upon request, but this is at their discretion, and we cannot guarantee that they will do this. We cannot be held liable if any damage occurs as a result of items being taken into the property.
3.5 Please note that Key Flooring strongly advises that you do not book your fitter or landscaper until you have received and checked your order, as we are not liable for any installation costs or lost wages.
3.6 Please note that in some circumstances an item being delivered may be heavier than the driver is able to lift. In these cases, it is a customer’s responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient equipment and personnel available at the point of delivery to assist with unloading of the vehicle or, alternatively be able to provide smaller cut down sizes for the product ordered that can be delivered to the kerbside and unloaded without assistance.
4. Payment
4.1 We take payment from your card at the time that we receive your order once we have checked your order value and card details. Goods are subject to availability. In the event that we are unable to supply the goods ordered, we will inform you of this as soon as possible. Should you wish to cancel at this point a full refund will be given where you have already paid for the goods.
4.2 To ensure that your credit or debit card is not being used without your consent, we will validate your name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these Terms and Conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks, personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, and that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.
4.3 The price you pay is the price displayed on the product page of this website for your specified size(s) at the time we receive your order.

If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
4.4 Payment can be made by debit or credit card.

5.1 When ordering from Key Flooring via the website or over the phone you have a right to cancel and return your order up to 7 days after receiving your order. Your return will be subject to a 15% restocking fee. After notifying us that you wish to return an item/order, you have 14 days to get the item returned to us, a refund will then be issued within 14 days of us receiving the goods. Some products are excluded from this policy, for example items which are cut to your bespoke size. Please note you will be responsible for the organisation and cost of returning the item(s) to us. All items must be returned in the same packaging and condition in which they were received by you.
5.2 In the unlikely event that you receive faulty or damaged goods, please contact us prior to cutting and/or fitting the item(s) and we will arrange for the faulty or damaged goods to be collected and replaced. Unfortunately if any ordered item is removed from it's original condition (for example cut and/or fitted) we will be unable to replace or give a full refund for the item(s).
5.3 Sometimes the product specifications from the manufacturer may change, in which case we will do our best to offer you a similar alternative. We may experience problems with the supply of certain products and may therefore supply a substitute of the same quality. In the event that this should happen, we will contact you prior to sending out any alternatives. If you are not happy with the replacement or substitute you can return it. Where applicable, you may cancel your order in accordance with your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations.
5.4 For collections we do require that the item is well wrapped ready for transit. The collection is from the nearest kerbside of the property and the driver may need help loading if the collection item is heavy. If the item is not wrapped or you are unable to bring it out to the kerbside at the time of collection the collection may not be completed.

9. Carpet & Flooring Specific Conditions of Sale
9.1 When you receive your order, please remove all packaging and thoroughly check the ordered item(s) before booking your flooring fitter to ensure it is the correct quality, size, pattern and colour as you expected, and free from damage and/or defects. Once you have cut into and/or fitted the item, you are the owner and keyflooring.co.uk cannot be held responsible for any exchanges or fitting costs.
(a) Packaging and the product itself can include staples or sharp objects. Please ensure that you or your fitter have checked the product thoroughly for such items and removed all such packaging with care before securing the item(s) for everyday usage. Key Flooring (Wholesale) cannot be held liable for any injuries incurred by anyone where item(s) purchased have been installed without being thoroughly checked for sharp objects prior to or during the installation process.
9.2 Please note, we are unable to guarantee an exact colour match on different rolls. If an exact colour match is required, please contact us at the time of ordering and we will do all that we can to help. An exact colour match is especially hard to achieve when different widths have been used, or the flooring has been ordered on different dates.
9.3 All pile carpets, especially plain grounds are liable (after they have been in use for some time) to shading, i.e. to show light and dark patched areas. This is due to uneven pressing of the surface by treading. Light and delicately shaded carpets are liable to become soiled with wear and it may appear that the colours have faded. Both tendencies are inherent in all pile fabrics and therefore we cannot accept any responsibility for complaints arising from either of these causes.
9.4 All dimensions are in accordance with British Standards 3655 (1974) +/- 1.25% in width and/or length.
9.5 Whilst every effort is made to deliver goods on the day specified, this service is not guaranteed. We cannot offer compensation as a consequence for late or early delivery. Any information given regarding anticipated delivery times or dates are given in good faith.
10. Credit Terms
10.1 If payment is late we reserve the right to impose a late payment charge equivalent to 2.5% per month and in addition any other charges that are incurred in the collection of monies from you. We may withdraw credit and payment terms at any time.
10.2 At all times you should keep us informed of any change of legal identity (e.g. sole trader to partnership or to limited company). Sole traders and partnerships should keep us informed of changes in their home address and contact information, this includes phone numbers and email addresses.
