General Terms and Conditions of Sale

  1. Ordering

The parquet is reserved to you on ordering. This is subject to prompt payment, i.e. within 3 days unless otherwise agreed.

  1. Methods of Payment

Online: we use Sage Pay secure payments for online orders. Or PayPal secure payment if preferred.
Telephone: we use a secure virtual terminal for over the phone orders and payment. We do not retain any financial data.
Invoice: We can email you an invoice and you can pay by Stripe card payment or bank transfer.
Cheque: we no longer accept cheques.

  1. Delivery and/or Collection

Delivery UK

All orders purchased online are available for delivery within the UK mainland and Northern Ireland only. Deliveries are by Palletline or similar haulage company. We will send out delivery instructions with your receipted invoice; however, delivery details are also available to view on the website. We generally send out orders within 6-8 working days.

Delivery Europe

We can arrange for delivery to Europe but not via the website. Please contact our office directly to discuss.

  1. Delivery Arrangements

When you are ready to receive your order please contact Parquet-Parquet by telephone to confirm your preferred delivery date (Monday – Friday but there are no timed deliveries).
If you are unable to accept delivery after purchasing your parquet please advise us. We will make arrangements to put it into our storage facility free of charge until you are ready to fit the parquet floor.

Once a date is arranged, we will send out your parquet via a pallet delivery haulier/courier in time for that delivery date. Please note however that there are rare occasions, such as unusual traffic, weather events or other such matters which could cause a delay. This is beyond our control and we hope you would exercise patience as we try to resolve your matters with the delivery agency.

  1. Materials supplied

Standard supply:

The goods we sell have been used previously therefore will not be perfect. Expect blocks to be useable after it has been prepared, sanded and polished. All of this is described on the website and there are photos to illustrate the difference. Please note, we add a little extra to all our pallets. This gives you spare block to cover any minor problems which may arise from the imperfections of reclaimed material.

Any material we supply to you will be of satisfactory quality as a reclaimed item. If we have delivered material to you that is not of useable quality in error, you should contact us for a replacement or, where this is not possible, for a refund.

Extra cleaning options:

It is not automatic that blocks are cleaned, the standard order is in reclaimed condition. If you require a special order of blocks which are pre-cleaned, then we offer this service for an extra cost. We have 3 levels of cleaned blocks:

  • Base clean – removal of bitumen from the base.
  • Fitting clean – as above plus edges cleaned and tongues removed ready for fitting.
  • Fitting clean and thicknessing – as above plus blocks thicknessed to required depth. This is particularly useful for matching existing floors.

Please discuss the options with us if you chose to take up this service. We can advise you of the prices for the options.

Please note we never sand any orders, except samples. This is because it is impractical and costly with individual blocks.

  1. Samples

We encourage customers to receive a sample so that customers can understand the nature of reclaimed parquet. It does require work and it is important to expect that.

We therefore send out 2 free samples. These samples are selected randomly from the specific supply available for sale. The surface of the samples is sanded but otherwise the block is in ‘as reclaimed’ condition. This is intended to help the customer understand the level of cleaning and preparation inevitably required for reclaimed parquet. If you require more samples, we reserve the right to make a modest charge which covers postage and preparation and we limit it to a total of 4 for commercially sensitive reasons.

  1. Losses

We will not be liable if we are prevented or delayed from complying with our obligations under these General Terms and Conditions by anything you (or anyone acting on your behalf) does or fails to do, or due to events which are beyond our reasonable control.

Furthermore, we are not liable for any losses related to your business or works schedule. This includes (without limitation) lost data, lost profits, lost revenues or business interruption.

Care of your parquet

You must follow any advice we give you to keep products we supply to you safe. This will be found on our delivery notes. We cannot accept liability for damage to material supplied by us which is caused by your failure to follow our advice.

If you are a UK consumer, purchasing online or over the telephone you have the legal right, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 to cancel your order within fourteen working days following the date on which the contract started i.e. the date on which you transacted your purchase or received the goods, whichever is the latest. Subject to the following:

If you wish to cancel (or are considering cancelling) material you have purchased from us, please be aware of the following terms that apply:

  1. Cancellation before dispatch of goods:

Please notify us as soon as possible if you have changed your mind about your purchase. Most importantly before we dispatch your goods. On this basis we will cancel your order and refund you promptly. We reserve the right to charge a small fee if we have spent time preparing your order.

  1. Return of cancelled goods after dispatch:

You must take reasonable care of the order that you wish to cancel. Items should not be used by you and returned within 14 days of cancellation, where possible in their original packaging. If it is on a pallet, then the pallet must be well-covered with plastic wrap and secured with strap-banding if we advise this, or the haulier will refuse to collect. The pallet must also be easily accessible for the haulier, placed on hard-standing so that a pallet truck can lift it. We will arrange collection on your behalf at your cost (up to, but not limited to £90 per pallet depending on your location). This will usually be within 14 days of cancellation.

 

If you have purchased AFTER receiving a sample of parquet you buy:

If you have received samples and you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason once delivered, then please contact us to see if we can help.

You are not however able to cancel your order, if you have purchased from sample you are buying a ‘seen’ item. However, if the order is faulty, you are protected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (see below).

 

Faulty goods:

If the order is faulty, you are protected under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. You should check all products you receive against your order.

Or, if you are unable to view the items on receipt of the goods, you must inform us (by post, phone or e-mail) within 7 days of receipt. If faulty, you must return the products to us in their original packaging as soon as possible. We will arrange collection by our preferred courier.

We will offer a replacement in the first instance but if that is not possible for some reason i.e. we have run out of stock, then we will refund you.

 

Refund of payment:

If items are accepted to be faulty and a refund has been agreed, then we will refund you within 14 days of us receiving your returned goods.

In the case of cancellation before receipt of goods, we will refund you as soon as is practicable.

In the case of cancellation after receipt of goods, if a refund has been agreed (subject to the terms above), then we will refund you once the goods have been returned and checked by us, within 14 days of the items being collected. We will not refund the original shipping cost and will deduct the return shipping cost from the refunded amount if we have arranged collection. The goods must be packaged as originally despatched, and unused.

The manner of refund will be the same method as payment.

Stored pallets:

We are able to offer you a free storage service. This can be useful with your project timing. If for any reason your project does not proceed, we will not refund the purchase price, but we will refund the delivery charge. We will offer to sell your parquet for you, net of costs, or send it to you as originally planned. It is your purchased parquet which we are storing free of charge. If you no longer require the parquet order, then we reserve the right to charge a reasonable storage fee per week including VAT for storage from the date of purchase.
