Terms & Conditions
Business Customers
Please note that these terms are supplementary to our normal trading terms that apply to businesses and trade customers. A copy of these may be requested from our sales office.
1. The contract between us
1.1 These are the conditions under which we, Fairmont & Main Limited (company number 02931622) deal with you, our customer, for sales made by us to you through our website, or otherwise than at our premises. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before placing your order, in particular condition 4 (your rights to cancel) and condition 7, which deals with our liability to you. If you have any questions about the terms and conditions, please contact us before you place your order by using our contact page or by telephoning us.
1.2 You can only use our website to purchase goods after you have registered with us, which you will be asked to do on the first occasion that you place an order. You must not impersonate any other person nor use a false name when you do so, and you will warrant to us that the personal information which you give us both when you register and subsequently is true, accurate and complete. If any of your personal information changes at any time, you should let us know those changes using our contact page or by telephoning us or by updating your details from within your on-line account.
1.3 If any of the personal information which you provide to us is inaccurate or if you allow any other person to access our website using your personal information or you breach these terms, and conditions in any way, and we suffer loss as a result, you will indemnify us against that loss.
1.4 We must receive payment of the whole of any price for the goods which you intend to order before your order can be accepted. Once you place your order we will send you a confirmatory e-mail providing details of your order to the e-mail address which you provide in the order form. This confirmatory e-mail is not our acceptance of your order. Your order will not be accepted by us until full payment for the goods has been received by us. We will confirm that your order has been accepted by sending you an e-mail. It is this e-mail and our acceptance of your order which brings into existence a legally binding contract between us.
1.5 We reserve the right to reduce or withdraw (fully or partially, temporarily or permanently) any part of our website and/or to vary these terms and conditions at any time. You should read these terms and conditions every time you place an order to ensure that you are aware of any such change.

3.1 The price payable for the goods that you order are set out in our website and will be confirmed in the e-mail which we send you under condition 1.4.
3.2 You may be required to pay extra for delivery and it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. Our applicable delivery charges and information relating to the delivery are set out in our website.
4. Rights for you to cancel your contract
4.1 You may cancel your contract with us for the goods you order at any time up to the end of the fourteenth working day from the date you receive the goods. You do not need to give us a reason for cancelling your contract nor will you have to pay any penalty.
4.2 You have a right to ask us to allow you to cancel your contract with us at any time if your payment card has been fraudulently used by a third party to make the order. You must provide us with such evidence of that fraud as we reasonably require.
4.3 To cancel your contract you must notify us in writing.
4.4 If you receive the goods before you cancel the contract between us under condition 4.1 then you must send the goods back to us at your own cost and risk. You are advised to obtain proof of posting from the Post Office (or whichever delivery firm you use). If you cancel the contract but we have already arranged for the goods to be delivered, you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contract address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible.
4.5 Once you have notified us that you are cancelling the contract between us, any sum debited by us from your payment card will be re-credited to your account as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days of your order provided that the goods in question are returned by you and received by us in the condition in which they were delivered to you. If you do not return the goods delivered to you or do not pay the costs of delivery, we shall be entitled to deduct any costs of recovering the goods which we incur from the amount to be re-credited to you.
4.6 Please note you will not be able to cancel the contract between us if it is in respect of goods specifically manufactured to your order and the manufacture of those goods has been commenced.
