Here at Edwards & Godding (Reading) Ltd, we try our best to always ensure that our customers are happy with our honest approach so that we do not need to rely on terms and conditions (herein referred to as T&Cs), but with any business transaction we do need to have some underlying T&Cs to refer to in the unlikely event of a dispute.
Additional terms and conditions relating to AGA sales and service work can be viewed on the relevant pages of our website.
These terms and conditions apply to consumer sales and not those made to businesses. These terms and conditions are only a contract between Edwards & Godding (Reading) Ltd and the purchaser.
Prices and payments
All of the pricing on our website is inclusive of VAT and in UK pounds. The total cost of your order will be the price of the products you order, plus the delivery charge (if any), plus any additional services you may choose (for example a premium delivery or installation). Your shopping basket will itemise what you are paying for. Payment is deducted once an order is submitted.
Edwards & Godding (Reading) Ltd reserve the right to reject an online order. In this unlikely event, we will contact you via the details that you provide to inform you of this decision.
In the event of a pricing error on our website, we will contact you with a view to confirming your order with a correct price, changing or cancelling your order. If we do not receive a written response on how you would like to proceed with your order we will cancel it and make you aware.
All deposits that are made are non-refundable.
Credit card details are entered on a secured page and are transferred using SSL security protocol.
Faulty goods
If your product develops a fault through no fault of your own, we would like to get this resolved for you as quickly as we can. Depending on the timeframes in which your product developed a fault you may be eligible for a replacement or refund. We urge you to contact us as soon as possible in these instances.
We would aim to arrange for the dispatch of an engineer to resolve the issue as soon as we can and reserve the right in all cases to diagnose the fault ourselves..erhaps clari
We do not cover faults caused by accident, neglect, misuse or normal wear and tear, or by the fitting of any non-approved parts.
Cancellations
Some of our goods are custom-made to your own specifications and so even though we will try, you may not be able to cancel once your order has been submitted. You therefore must ensure that your chosen specification is suitable in all respects before placing your order.
With the exception of custom-made goods, you may cancel your order at any time prior to delivery and incur no cost .
If you place your order online, via telephone or via email, with the exception of custom-made goods, you can cancel your order up to 14 calendar days after the day of delivery. Customers should return the goods within 14 days of cancellation. The appliance must be in an ‘as new’ condition and not used. We will withhold refunds until goods are returned (or evidence of a return is provided) and reduce the amount of money refunded for returned goods which show evidence of use beyond the handling necessary to see whether the goods are as expected.
The burden of proof for showing cancellation in the cancellation period rests with the consumer, but you are not obliged to cancel in writing but must make it clear that this is what you wish to do. However it makes sense for all parties to have a written record of the desire to cancel, so please feel free to email us on info@edwardsandgodding.co.uk
If your order is placed and paid for in a showroom, then you have no automatic right to cancel your order after delivery. If we decide to accept a return in this instance, you may be liable to restocking, administration and delivery charges.
You are liable for the cost involved with returning the goods and ensuring that they are returned undamaged. We do not accept return of the goods until we have had the opportunity to inspect them for damage.
Images
We do our very best to make the images on our website a true reflection of the product itself. However, there may be some difference in colour shades from what is displayed on the website and what is delivered. Colour samples may be ordered that show true finish of an appliance, but due the finishing process these colours may also differ slightly from the finish on the appliance.
Delivery
All of the delivery times given on our website are approximate and given in good faith. We are a flexible organisation and we like to organise delivery ourselves either using our own delivery vehicles or by liaising with our suppliers. On occasion you may be contacted by our supplier to organise a suitable delivery time.
Unfortunately sometimes things go wrong and honest mistakes are made but we shall not be liable for any losses or expenses incurred by any delay in delivery or damage caused in transit.
A lot of what we deliver is very big and heavy (think about the impact of steps, gravel drives, narrow doorways etc). It is your responsibility to ensure that the appliance ordered can be delivered into the room in which we have agreed to deliver it (you will need to take into consideration the dimensions of the boxed product). If you are in any doubt please contact us via email to inform us of any potential issues and we will work with you to find a solution.
You may incur additional delivery charges if we or any of our suppliers encounter circumstances of which we have not been informed that prevent us from delivering your appliance. Alternatively, we will deliver to the nearest safe place, such as a garage.
We deliver to the mainland UK only. If there is any reason we need to levy an additional delivery charge we will inform you of this prior to delivery and give you the option to cancel your order.
We may also levy a failed delivery charge if no one is in to take the delivery on the agreed date.
Risk passes from Edwards & Godding (Reading) Ltd to the customers when the goods are delivered. If the customer arranges their own collection, the risk passes to the customer once the goods are delivered to the courier.
Age restrictions
Some of our products have a minimum age requirement and by ordering you are confirming that you are of the required age. Your age may be checked using an approved age verification service.
Installation requirements
Each appliance will have different fitting instructions and so you must ensure that you know or that your kitchen fitter knows what all of the maximum and minimum space requirements are for the appliance.
You must use a suitably qualified person to install your appliance in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and industry guidelines. Failure to do so may result in the appliance being unsafe and/or the warranty rendered void.
In those instances when an Edwards & Godding (Reading) Ltd engineer is installing the goods, it must be to existing, correctly positioned and live services. Any work to rectifiy incorrectly positioned or missing services is chargeable. Return visits to commission goods due to services that are not live, are chargeable.
Connection
Where we have agreed to include connection of the new appliance, this must be to existing, live and correctly positioned services as per the manufacturer’s instructions. In the event of a site not being ready, we may levy a charge to revisit a site or move services.
We cannot be held responsible for other contractors’ incorrect positioning of services. Moving incorrectly positioned services is chargeable. Making a return visit for re-delivery or commissioning is chargeable. We will collect this charge from our customer and not the contractor.
Disconnection of goods
In some instances we will remove your old appliance. Goods that are removed are considered ready for appropriate recycling so we will not guarantee that no damage will be caused to the old appliance on removal and once it has left site, we will not be able to return it.
