SKANDIUM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PLACING AN ORDER
Once your order has placed, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided on your order. If you have not received a confirmation email, please check your spam folder.
If you do not receive your confirmation email please contact us immediately to confirm your order. The Webshop can be contacted at letstalk@skandium.com or +44 (0) 20 3633 7626.
Please read your email confirmation carefully to ensure that each item you ordered has the correct finish, color, size and quantity. Please contact us immediately if you find any errors, or if the information is unclear.
You are resoponsible for “made to order items” that are ordered correctly. Please only order if you are certain about the specifications for the item you are ordering. If you need assistance or have any questions about any products online before you purchase please contact us at The Webshop at +44 (0) 20 3633 7626 or letstalk@skandium.com.
We reserve the right to refuse an order. If we do not accept your order, we will contact you immediately and refund the full refund.
When we have accepted your order, a second confirmation email will be sent with estimated lead-time- This is based on stock availability, estimated supplier manufacturing time and estimated delivery time.
You will be notified as soon as you your order is available for dispatch.
It is important to note that the estimated lead-time given is NOT guaranteed.
Skandium does not accept any liability for any losses caused by delays. Cancellation of “made to order items” cannot be refunded due to any length of delay, if production of the item has begun. You will be notified if any unforseen delays occour as soon as these comes to our attention.
PRICES
If an error in pricing occurs we will contact you immediately and you will have the option of either paying the correct price or cancel your order. We are not obligated to offer any order at an wrongly published price. If you decide to cancel your order, the total amount of the order will be refunded.
Please be advised that the price of our items can change without notice. If there is a change in price to your item after you have placed your order, this will never affect the price of your original order. Sale prices can only be offered when an order is made during a sale period.
All orders are placed in GBP even if you use our currency conversion tool. Please bear this in mind in case your bank charges you any international exchange fees.
All orders sent outside of the European Union are subject to local duty and custom charges - you the customer must settle these charges upond delivery. Our website automatically deducts UK VAT on all orders shipped to outside the EU.
SELECTING FINISHES
When viewing images please be aware that finishes, colours and sizes shown online may not be a perfect likeness of the items, due to the constraints of technology. Although we always make every attempt to match the true likeness of all finishes, colours and sizes online, there are other factors outside our control that can alter these. For example, we may have not received images for each variation of products available in multiple finishes from the manufacturer. Please only order if you are fully confident of the finishes, colours and sizes you are choosing. If you need help, please contact us to see samples of fabrics and finishes.
Product packaging may vary from what is displayed online.
Items made from natural materials like wood, marble and wool are unique and can vary slightly from what is shown online due to the nature of the materials. Items that are handmade will always have slight variations, which we feel makes each item special.
Items such as cushions made from fabric with large repeat patterns may not look exactly as seen online. Cushions made from different sections of a larger pattern can sometimes look different.
All of our suppliers have the highest standards when producing specified finishes. However, items that not ordered together at the same time are not guaranteed to match perfectly. There are factors outside our control such as different production runs, that can cause slight differences in finish, colour and size. Please also note that there can be colour fading from long exposure to sunlight, so a replacement cushion might not match your existing ones, for example.
Glass items can contain slight imperfections due to the nature of the production process. Glass items that are mouth blown are formed by hand, and so colours and shape for these items will sometimes vary slightly between the same products. The best example of this are the birds by Oiva Toikka by iittala. This imperfection between the same products is what makes each bird by Oiva Toikka unique.
MADE TO ORDER ITEMS
“Made to order items” are defined as items that are ordered to customer’s specifications and put into production as per these specifications.
All "Made to order items" are clearly labelled as such on the corresponding product page in the delivery section and in the "shopping basket".
Examples of made to order items are furniture, lighting, blinds, curtains, carpets and rugs.
“Made to order items” cannot be cancelled, modified or exchanged. If you wish to make changes to your “Made to order item” at any point you MUST contact us as soon as possible: we will do our best to help with your request, depending on the stage of your order.
It is the customer’s responsibility to be fully aware of the finishes, colours and sizes they are specifying. It is also the customer’s responsibility to check our confirmation email to ensure that all products have been ordered correctly. Please also note you must read the information of the order in words, as any images shown online or in an email are never a confirmation of the correct items ordered. If you are not sure, please always contact us at the webshop and request to see samples.
FAULTY OR DAMAGED ITEMS
Please always inspect your order when it arrives. Any damage must be reported to us by email or by phone within 7 days of receipt to make a claim. We require your order number, a description of the damage and photos of the damage. Within the UK, if a claim is accepted, we will arrange to exchange it for a replacement. Within the UK, “made to order items” that are faulty or damaged on arrival will be reordered and redelivered within the regular estimated lead-time, after the return of the damaged item.
The cost of returning damaged items from outside of the UK is the responsibility of the customer. If the items are large and/or fragile, Skandium may require that a specialized delivery service is used with the shipment costs being the responsibility of the customer.
