Buying Products from Fairway Furniture


1. Creation of the Contract

  • In order to place an order on the website, you must select an item and follow the instructions.
  • During the online sale process, you are able to check and correct any input error in your order up until you click the ‘Submit Order’ button.
  • After you have submitted your order, you will receive an automated order acknowledgement e-mail from us. Please note that this e-mail is an acknowledgement that we have received your order through our website and does not constitute acceptance of your order.
  • All orders placed online are subject to payment in full at the time you submit the order. Credit and debit card payments will be authorised as part of the sale confirmation process using industry leading secure links. (See the Site Security section for further information.)
  • Once payment has been authorised, your order will be processed which includes checking the availability of stock or that the supplier is able to supply the special order goods you have requested. Should items be available from stock, we will arrange for the delivery of the goods to you. Acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you a second e-mail which contains confirmation that your order has been processed and an estimated delivery timescale.
  • We reserve the right to decline all or part of any order for whatsoever reason (which we need not disclose) and should this occur we will e-mail you with the relevant details.
  • If, by mistake, we have under priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we deliver the item to you. In those circumstances, we will notify the correct price to you so you can decide whether or not you wish to order the item at that price.
  • We recommend that you retain all e-mails relating to any order placed through this website and the subsequent contract that it creates.
  • Full details of your order with us are kept by us for reference.
  • Should you have need to query any element of your order in the future, please contact us using the contact details on the Contact Us page.

2. Payment Relating to Website Orders

  • If you have chosen to pay by card, payment is processed as part of the online sales transaction. In the event that there is insufficient stock to satisfy your order you will be informed as soon as possible.
  • During the online sales process, you will be advised if your payment details cannot be authorised for any reason. We may then request that you pay by another method.
  • All prices and charges on this website are quoted in UK pounds. The price you pay for your order is that price which is displayed on the website. Prices include VAT at the prevailing rate unless otherwise stated but exclude delivery charges.
  • Delivery charges are calculated as part of the checkout process, based on the value of your order and whether you have selected any additional delivery services, such as ‘Deluxe Delivery’.
  • If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered, you will be informed as soon as possible. We will then offer you the option to reconfirm your order at the correct price. If for whatever reason we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled and you will receive a full refund on the card payment.

3. Security and Payment Clearing

  • All credit and debit card payments that are made on our website are protected by a secure connection (see the Site Security page) from industry leading providers.
  • This secure connection ensures that your credit and debit card details are encrypted prior to it being transferred to the bank for authorisation.
  • By means of additional security, we confirm that no credit or debit card details (including the CV2 number, submitted through our site during the order process are retained by us.

4. Delivery of Your Goods

  • Delivery of the goods you have ordered will be made to the address you give us for delivery at the time you place your order. Please note that for addresses off the UK mainland, we will contact you separately.
  • Please contact us via email to enquiries@fairwayfurniture.co.uk to make an enquiry prior to placing your order.
  • Delivery of your furniture within the time quoted on our website when you place your order is always our aim. If anticipated delivery timescales change, you will be contacted.
  • In the event that delivery is delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, then we cannot accept any liability for consequential loss.
  • We recommend therefore that any furniture being sold or disposed of is retained until we have confirmed a delivery date with you.
  • The delivery times quoted on our website are for delivery to postcodes which fall within our regular delivery areas – indicated as Zones 1 & 2 on our delivery zones map. Should your postcode fall in Zones 3-6, lead times will be longer than those indicated and we will advise you of these where applicable.
  • Delivery slots are allocated on a round basis, so when arranging your delivery, we may not be able to offer delivery on the next occasion we are in your area.
  • You will however be offered a delivery option on the next available date.
  • All orders have to be signed for, so you should make provision for a responsible person to act as your agent to sign for the goods should you not be present. If there is no one present when our delivery team arrives, they will leave a card with a contact number for you to call them and arrange a delivery at a future date. Please note that there may be an additional charge for this.
  • You become the owner of the goods (and be liable for the loss or destruction of the goods) at the time of delivery, provided that we have received payment in full for the goods.
  • The service offered as part of the delivery will depend on the delivery service options selected at the time you placed your order. Please see the Delivery page for further details of what you should expect.
  • We do offer a disposal service, for an additional charge, where old furniture may be removed on a like for like basis. Simply tick the box for this service when you place your order online. Our delivery staff retain the right to refuse to take away old furniture should they deem the items required to be taken away to be dangerous or if they are not on a like-for-like basis with new items being delivered.

5. Access to the destination room

  • Before placing an order, it is your responsibility to check that the items of furniture will fit through any passages, stairwells, landings and doorways on the way to the destination room. To help make this assessment, we have produced a handy Measuring Guide.
  • During the checkout process, you will be requested to confirm that you have checked access thoroughly. Giving such confirmation will affect your right to reject the goods should they not fit into your chosen room.
  • If you have measured your property but are still unsure of the suitability of access, please contact your nearest store (see the Store Locator page) who will be happy to provide further assistance.

6. Contract Cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations
