Terms and Conditions
Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale on the page below are used by most companies.
They apply to you as a consumer.
If you are a business or have a trade relationship with us, please refer to our trade terms https://b8kitchens.co.uk/terms-for-trade.
If you have chosen installation services from us please refer to our installation terms https://b8kitchens.co.uk/terms-for-installation.
To help in keeping things simple, we ask that you pay particular attention to these points as they are most relevant to the process of ordering bespoke and made-to-measure furniture:
- We take great care that any diagrams or technical drawings we produce should be as accurate as possible, however any such visuals and renders are intended as aids and should not be relied upon as exact representations.
- Although we will try our best to meet our agreed timeframes, we are unable to take responsibility or offer discounts for any late deliveries to us by our suppliers or third party companies e.g board manufacturers, hardware companies, edging suppliers, vinyl wrapped or sliding door suppliers.
- We are not responsible for the installation of any goods ordered unless otherwise stated in your quotation from us. Where we do agree installation, the installation terms can be found here: https://b8kitchens.co.uk/terms-for-installation.
- As our Products are made to your requirements, you will not be able to cancel your Order after the period set out in clause 11.1.1 (as we will have started the manufacture of the Products) but this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-measure Products that are faulty or not as described.

3.1.2 changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements
3.2 You may make changes to the Order for Products within two calendar days of placing that Order by contacting us if we have not yet started manufacturing of the Products.

You can choose to cancel the Order in accordance with clause 12.1 in these circumstances.
3.3 Once your design has been agreed, no changes can be made. B8 Kitchens and Bedrooms Ltd takes no responsibility for incorrect details about the design communicated between spouses/partners or incorrect measurements supplied to us by you or your chosen business partner (e.g. your installer or builder).
3.4 If you require changes to your Products during build or post delivery, these changes will be charged in full as a separate build and new contract.
4. Made-to-measure Products
4.1 The images of the Products on our website or any of our literature are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that they accurately reflect the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.
4.2 Any diagrams or technical drawings we produce are meant as a visual aid only, they are not exact representations and as such the finished Products may differ slightly.
4.3 Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, because our Products are handmade all dimensions and measurements indicated on our website have a 100mm tolerance.
4.4 We make the Products according to the measurements you provide to us or taken by us at the survey. If you would like tips on how to measure correctly please contact us.
4.5 Quotations for worktops will remain as an estimate until a template by the appropriate contractor has been carried out. Should these items incur any extra cost, we are unable to process the order until payment has been made in full.
4.6 Granite, quartz and timber are natural products. We cannot be held responsible for natural variations in colour or pattern of any of our products. In each case the best available match will be supplied with orders.
4.7 Please make sure your measurements are correct and accurate. Unfortunately, we cannot accept the return of made-to-measure Products if the reason for the return is because you provided us with incorrect measurements. However, this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to made-to-measure Products that are faulty or not as described.
4.8 We are supplying you with goods on a supply-only basis unless you have requested us to quote for installation services which are agreed and quoted separately.
4.8.1 If You Have Not Chosen Our Installation Service: You must ensure that your chosen fitter/installer checks that the measurements, the planned layout, quantities and specification of the products are correct before your order is finalised. We cannot accept responsibility for any damage or any failure to comply with relevant gas, water or electricity regulations, caused by installation errors.
5. Delivery of goods
5.1 Please note that timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the location of the delivery address. Please allow extra time for deliveries to Devon and Cornwall, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, or to addresses outside the UK. Our delivery charges can be provided on request and will be included in any quotations.
5.2 Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 11 for our responsibilities when this happens.

5.6 If you amend your agreed delivery date within 7 days of the agreed delivery date, we are entitled to charge you a fee for storage of the goods. This is normally £100 per week, but may vary depending on the size of the Product. We will inform you of any variations to the storage charge in writing.
5.7 If we are not able to deliver the whole Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the Order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask us to deliver the Order in instalments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
5.8 The Products will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery.
