Our acceptance of your order will take place when we write to you to accept it OR we tell you that we are able to provide you with the product, which we will also confirm in writing to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. 3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. 4. OUR PRODUCTS 4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products [in our brochures OR on our website] are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours or the printed pictures accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. 4.2 Variation to quoted price. As it is necessary for us to provide ‘made to measure’ products it is important that we ensure that any measurements are correct. Therefore, it will be necessary for us to carry out a site visit to take final measurements. This may result in a price variation to any quote that we have given you. In such circumstances we will provide you with an amended quotation and will not place any order for goods unless you have confirmed that you wish to proceed with the contract. 5. YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES OF OUR QUOTE 5.1 If you wish to vary your Order please contact us immediately as this may affect our contractual arrangements. If we agree to the variation we will provide you with a further quotation if costs will be increased, or the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your request and ask you to confirm in writing that you accept the changes. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, our contractual arrangement will end. 6. MADE TO MEASURE 6.1 The nature of our product is such that it will be necessary for measurements to be taken before an order can be placed. This falls within the definition of ‘made to measure’ and once we have placed an order it cannot be cancelled. This will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-measure Goods that are faulty or not as described. 6.2 After placing your order there will be a site survey you must approve all specifications in relation to the installation. 7.
