RETURNS / REFUNDS

Please inspect your items when you receive them. For fabrics, please check you are happy prior to beginning to manufacture. The following terms and conditions cover the situations where either (a) the goods are faulty or damaged, or there is a shortfall, on delivery; or (b) you change your mind and wish to return non-faulty goods.

(a) The goods are faulty or damaged, or there is a shortfall

In the event that fabrics purchased from The Design Archives are faulty, damaged or there is a shortfall we will be happy to replace at no further charge as long as we are notified within 14 days of receipt and the goods returned to The Design Archives within 21 days. No claim will be accepted outside this time limit. Any re-delivery is subject to the safe return of any faulty or damaged goods or (as appropriate) the provision by you of such proof of a shortfall as we may reasonably require. Where we accept liability to provide replacement goods we will refund any reasonable postage charges incurred by you in returning any goods. Please obtain proof of postage.

Other than as set out above we accept no liability in relation to faulty or damaged goods, or any shortfall, on delivery. In no event shall our liability exceed the value of the goods in question. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

(b) Returns

Due to the bespoke length / quantity that you have ordered we are unable to issue refunds on items that have been cut to your required length or made especially for you unless they are faulty. This is why we always recommend ordering samples of fabrics before placing an order.

Do not cut the fabric, trimming or wallpaper until you are entirely happy with the product supplied.

We cannot accept returns if you have over or under ordered so check with your manufacturer the quantity you require before ordering.
