Our products

Our products are sold subject to their product description and any supporting information. We reserve the right to refuse orders where the product information, price or product promotion has been incorrectly published. We do make every effort to ensure all of the product information is correct at the time when we upload the product information to the website. However, the information may not be completely accurate at the time that you place an order. When placing an order you must confirm the details of the product before purchasing. We take all reasonable care to portray our products accurately but pictures are for reference only. Please be aware that the reproduction of colours is dependent on the settings and calibration of your computer monitor or device’s screen and they will vary from device to device and from screen to screen. We therefore cannot guarantee that the colours shown will accurately represent the colour of the Plaques/Masterbatch you receive. All products are subject to availability. We will inform you by email as soon as possible if goods you have ordered are not available.

Prices

Prices are as set out on this website. It may, from time to time, be necessary to change prices either up or down. We reserve the right to alter prices at any time without prior notice.

The price for the goods (including, where applicable, any delivery charges) is as set out in the order confirmation. However, extra delivery charges may apply – see ‘EXTRA DELIVERY CHARGES’ clause below.

You must pay in full for the goods (including any applicable delivery charges) at the time of placing your order.  Ownership in the goods we supply to you will not pass until we have received all sums due and payable by you for or in connection with the goods, including (where applicable) delivery charges.

Placing an order

When you place an order to purchase a product your order represents an offer to us to purchase a product. A contract is only formed when you receive a copy of your email order confirmation.  Any products on the same order which we have not confirmed as accepted in your order confirmation do not form part of the contract.

Performance Masterbatches Ltd. reserves the right to cancel orders, at no cost to you.

Changes to orders

Once you have received confirmation of your order, changes to your order, including the arrangements for delivery or collection, can only be made by contacting us via email or phone. Changes made to your order after the original confirmation may change the delivery date of your order. We will give you an indication of a new estimated delivery date once we have confirmed the changes to your order.

Cancellation of orders

You have the right to cancel your contract if you wish within 7 working days of the day after the date the product is delivered to you.

Many of our products are bespoke (made-to-order) items. All goods noted as made-to-order on this website are produced only upon the request and confirmation of your order. In the event that having placed such an order you wish to cancel, we will unfortunately have to charge a cancellation fee of 30% of the value of the order plus any other delivery or collection fee incurred. This will be deducted from any refund due to you.

Delivery charges will be refunded in full unless we have delivered or attempted to deliver the goods before you cancel in which case they will not be refunded.

Your refund will be processed as soon as possible and in any event within no more than 30 days of the day you have given us notice of cancellation.

Cancellation must be by the person who placed the order. If you cancel by telephone, we will need to be satisfied that you are the person who placed the order.

Delivery Information

Please note that the estimated delivery times are only estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

Delivery is only available to mainland UK.

Goods are provided to you on approval and legal title to the goods does not pass to you until 14 days after delivery. Your statutory rights are not affected by this statement.

Extra Delivery Charges

Extra charges for delivery may apply in any of the following circumstances:

If you need to inform us of any special factors regarding your delivery after you have placed and confirmed your order please contact us

For our standard delivery items, our courier will attempt delivery once. We will let you know if any extra delivery charges are payable and you must pay these charges before delivery or re-delivery (as appropriate) or, if charged after delivery, within 7 days of receiving notice of such extra delivery charges.

For some products, if we attempt to deliver goods to a delivery address but delivery is impossible or impractical, you may contact us with an alternative delivery address and we will redeliver to that alternative delivery address. However, if we do not hear from you with a suitable alternative delivery address within 7 days of the attempted delivery, then we may cancel your order and deduct a charge for our administration, transit and storage costs which will be no more than 30% of the price of the goods from your refund. Delivery charges will not be refunded.

Delays in Delivery

Occasionally the delivery of your goods may be delayed by circumstances outside our control. If for any reason we are unable to deliver the goods or to have them ready for collection within the original approximate timeframe then we will notify you of the delay and new timeframe as soon as possible. If you cannot wait for the goods, you must let us have notice of cancellation from the person who placed the order within 7 calendar days of you receiving notification about the delay. If we receive your notice of cancellation as set out above within such 7 day period, then we will let you have a full refund. However  Performance Masterbatches LTD cannot accept any liability for any losses you incur (including loss of earnings) or for compensation for perceived inconvenience that may be suffered due to any delay.

Arrival of Goods

On delivery of your products, you will be asked to sign for the goods and to inspect any upholstery goods that have been unpacked to ensure you accept them. For this reason you should be present at delivery yourself. However, if you do ask someone else to take delivery for you, then you must make sure that they are aware of what they need to do.

Quality

Please notify us of obvious defects that are apparent on first inspection of the goods, such as missing parts or damage, within 7 days of delivery and additionally, wherever possible, by describing the defects on the ‘proof of delivery’ document you are asked to sign. For other defects, please notify us as soon as you discover those defects and at the latest within 7 days of delivery.

You agree that we (or our appointed agents) may examine and test any goods that are claimed to be defective to establish whether those defects are our responsibility. Where we need to send the goods away for examination and testing, then you will permit us (or our agents) to collect the goods from you for that purpose.

Where defective goods are exchanged, you must allow us to collect the defective goods from you. Please also note that you may have to wait for replacement goods that are non-stock items or are made-to-order.

For self-assembly goods, it is important that you read the assembly instructions carefully as we cannot accept responsibility for any self-assembly goods that are damaged because instructions were not properly followed.

Where it cannot otherwise be established that we supplied any goods that are claimed to be defective, for example because sewn-in labels have been removed, then we may require you to produce proof of purchase.

When we are satisfied that the goods are faulty you will be offered a replacement or full refund of the original purchase price. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Returns

If you are unhappy with a product for any reason then you must let us know within 7 working days of the day after the date the product is delivered to you.  You must also return it to us within 28 days in perfect condition, in its original packaging and with proof of purchase.

Until the goods are returned to us, you are responsible if the goods are lost, damaged or destroyed. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

Please complete the Exchange & Return Form included with your order and return it with the item.

You will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us, and will remain responsible for any and all returned goods until they reach our warehouse. We strongly advise that a proof of postage certificate should be obtained when returning any part of you order. Certificates are available free of charge from the post office.

We can make arrangements for the goods to be collected from you.

If you fail to make the goods available to us for collection within 28 days of cancellation then you will be deemed to have re-ordered the goods at the price you originally paid for them.

For our standard delivery items purchased through our website, you may wish to follow the returns procedure outlined in the delivery note. If the original home delivery was offered for free, a collection fee will be applied if the goods are unwanted. We will let you know the precise amount when we make the collection arrangements for you. If the goods are returned due to a fault or damage then no collection fee will be applied.

Returns and exchanges will be processed as soon as possible after arrival and in any event within no more than 30 days of the day of arrival.

Please note your right to return products does not apply to bespoke colour orders. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Refunds

To obtain a refund the goods must be in the same condition in which you received them and you must make the goods available to us for collection. The original packaging must be unopened and undamaged in a resalable condition.If you do so we will be happy to refund the original price of the item or send you an exchange. This does not affect your statutory rights.

If you fail to do so we reserve the right to refuse the refund or deduct a charge which will be no more than 30% of the price of the goods from your refund as we will not be able to sell those goods on at full price.

We will only make a refund using the same method of payment originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

Where the goods were delivered to a third party and you are unable to return them to us, you may not be entitled to a refund.

We regret that postage, packing and insurance incurred in the delivery of the goods to you are direct costs and cannot be refunded.

Credit can be used against your next order, both online and with telephone orders.

All communications will be in the English language.

None of our staff are authorised to advise on whether any goods are suitable for any unusual purpose. If you intend to use the goods for any unusual purpose, then you must make up your own mind about whether the goods are suitable or take advice from a third party.
