(e) We/Our/Us: KSR Bedding Ltd, a company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales with number 11463456, with a registered office at 84 Fisherton Street, Salisbury, trading as Baileys of Salisbury.
1.2 When We use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this will include e-mail unless We say otherwise.
1.3 These Terms will apply to any contract between us for the sale of Goods to you (Contract).
2. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
2.1 These are the terms and conditions on which We supply Goods to you.
2.2 Please ensure that you read these Terms carefully, and check that the details on the Order and in these Terms are complete and accurate, before you submit the Order. If you think that there is a mistake, please contact Us to discuss, and please make sure that you ask Us to confirm any changes in writing to avoid any confusion between you and Us.
2.3 We consider that these Terms and the Order constitute the whole agreement between you and Us.
2.4 When you sign and submit the Order to Us, this does not mean We have accepted your order for Goods. Our acceptance of the Order will take place as described in clause 2.5. If We are unable to supply you with the Goods, We will inform you of this and We will not process the Order.
2.5 These Terms will become binding on you and Us when We communicate with you to the effect that We are able to provide you with the Goods, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and Us.
2.6 If any of these Terms conflicts with any term of the Order, the Order will take priority.
2.7 We shall assign an order number to the Order and inform you of it when We confirm the Order. Please quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence with Us relating to the Order.
2.8 Our website, catalogue and brochure are solely for the promotion of Our Goods in the UK. Their content does not form part of the contract between Us and you. The images on the web site are for illustration purpose only. In particular, the colour of the Goods may differ in reality from their representation on any website, catalogue or brochure. Similarly, patterns of material may vary, in particular those of mattress covers.
The tension rating (firmness) of mattresses is a subjective indication and is for general guidance only. Unfortunately, We do not accept orders from, or deliver to, addresses outside the UK.
2.9 All dimensions and measurements indicated on Our website or in Our catalogue or brochure have a tolerance of plus or minus 2 centimeters. Manufacturers will use the metric system for measurement purposes. Please note Metric and Imperial sizes are not exact equivalents.
2.10 It may occasionally be the case that as technology and manufacturing processes advance that there may be a slight variation to specification that will improve the product/s within your Order. A manufacturer may change the specification to enhance the performance of the product.
2.11 It is often the case with new mattresses that they will require a 'bedding in' period of 8 to 12 weeks to allow the fillings to settle and the mattress to gently expand to the correct size. Additionally, on occasion new mattresses may carry an odour for up to 6 to 8 weeks. This may be due to the fire retardancy, a legal requirement, and the newness of materials. This odour will gradually dissipate with airing.
2.12 All images on Our web site are for illustration purposes only. Unless clearly stated on the website, headboards will not normally be included with a divan bed. If a head board is required this will need to be selected as a separate item on your order.
2.13 If you are purchasing a mattress that will be placed on your existing bed frame we recommend that the slats are no more than 7cm apart.
3. CHANGES TO ORDER OR TERMS
3.1 We may revise these Terms from time to time in the following circumstances:
(a) changes in how We accept payment from you; or
(b) changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
3.2 If We have to revise these Terms under clause 3.1, you can choose to cancel the contract in accordance with clause 11.
3.3 You may make a change to the Order for Goods at any time before We despatch the Goods by contacting Us, except in the case of a special made Order. Where this means a change in the total price of the Goods, We will notify you of the amended price in writing. You can choose to cancel the Order in accordance with clause 11 in these circumstances.
3.4 If you wish to cancel an Order before it has been fulfilled, please see your right to do so in clause 11. In the case of a special made Order, unfortunately, because We make these Goods to your specific requirements, you will not be able to cancel an Order once it is accepted by Us. We regard ex-display Goods as being a special made Order.
4. DELIVERY OF GOODS
4.1 Please note that timescales for delivery and delivery charges will vary depending on the availability of the Goods and your address. Please allow for extra time in difficult to reach postcodes.
4.2 We will contact you with an estimated delivery date. Occasionally Our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 10 for Our responsibilities when this happens.

4.6 If We are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, We will deliver the Order in installments. We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask Us to deliver the Order in installments, We may charge you extra delivery costs. Each installment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms. If We are late delivering an installment or one installment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other installment.
4.7 The Goods will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery or from when you collect the Goods from Us.
4.8 You own the Goods once We have received payment in full.
4.9 Please note delivery dates shown are for working days only: Monday to Friday excluding Saturdays, Sundays & Bank Holidays. Please take this in to account when considering delivery lead times. On occasion we may be able to offer weekend deliveries. Please call us to discuss this.

5.3 An independent inspection is available, conducted by the Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA). If you state that the Goods are faulty, We would normally ask FIRA to undertake an inspection of the Goods at your home to establish the nature of the alleged fault.

If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated on Our site, We will contact you to tell you and for your instructions. If the pricing error is obvious, or could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, We do not have to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
