3.1.5e You will become the owner of the goods at the time of delivery/collection provided we have received payment in full.

3.1.5f Where applicable, one of our expert Premium Delivery teams will carefully install your new furniture in your home, exactly where you want it (subject to access).

3.1.6. Access to the destination room

3.1.6a Delivery of large or irregularly shaped furniture can be difficult in some homes. Our delivery teams are trained to install your furniture successfully, but it is your responsibility to ensure easy access to the room of your choice. Before placing an order, please measure carefully to ensure that your furniture will fit into the room it’s intended for and that it will also fit through any passages, access gates, stairwells, landings and internal doors.. Prior to your delivery, please ensure the route is clear and free from obstructions such as pictures and ornaments.

3.1.6b Should you have any concerns over access, then please note them on the comments box on your order or contact us by email or call for further assistance.

3.1.6c Please note that there will be an additional charge for failed delivery; where the failure to deliver is no fault of Sterling Home, or where less than 48 hours’ notice is given of a customer cancellation.

3.1.7. Cooling Off Period (applicable to online orders only)

3.1.7a Under the Consumer Rights Act of 2015, you are entitled to cancel your distance selling contract, but only if you exercise this right no longer than 14 days after the day on which goods are received. This is the statutory cooling off period. After this period has expired there is no right to cancel. Item(s) cannot be returned or cancelled after the 14-day cooling off period unless the item is confirmed as being defective.

 

The 14 days cooling offer period is an opportunity to help you to inspect the goods and to verify your choice without the benefit of seeing the furniture in-store prior to purchase. As such it is not a period where you can or should make normal use of the furniture, the furniture must be ‘as new’ condition. We may require an additional payment from you to reflect the deterioration in the condition of the furniture since it has been in your home and to reflect that the item will be ‘returned stock’. The payment will be evaluated on a case by case basis and will be advised at point of cancellation.

 

3.1.7b. Under UK law, the statutory cooling-off period has certain exclusions:

1. Bespoke items. These are goods tat have been ordered to the particular specifications of a customer.
2. Pillows or mattress protectors that have been taken out of their sealed packaging.

iii. Mattresses or divans beds that have been used.

1. Self-assembly items that have been damaged during assembly.
2. Semi-fitted wardrobes assembled by us will warrant a variable cancellation charge on a case-by-case basis.

3.1.7c In order to exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us in writing via email including your order number as part of your correspondence. We will email you to confirm we have received your cancellation. Your Cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or post the letter to us.

3.1.7d If you decide to cancel after receipt of the item(s), it is your responsibility to return the goods to us at your own cost and in new condition. You are the owner of the furniture once it has been delivered to you. Failure to take reasonable care of the Goods may result in a claim against you. To minimise this risk, please ensure that you pack the Goods appropriately when you return them to us to prevent any damage during transportation. Alternatively, we do offer a collection service if you are unable to return your items. We charge a collection fee on a case by case quote based on product type, number of goods and location of collection.

 

This must be done within 14 days of notification of your decision to cancel the contract.

 

3.1.7e If you cancel the Contract we will:

3.1.7 i Refund the price you paid for the Goods. Note that we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by you handling them in a way which would not be permitted in one of our stores or if the returned Goods have not been looked after by you with reasonable care and are not in the condition that they were in when they were delivered to you, we reserve the right to deduct from your refund any loss of value to the goods as a result of your use or damage.

3.1.7 ii Make any refund in the same form of payment you originally used for the purchase of the Goods and within 30 days of the valid cancellation of contract. Refunds will be made to a credit or debit card or PayPal may take up to 7 (seven) working days depending on your bank. For further clarification on timings, please contact your card issuer.

 

3.1.8. Damaged or Defective Goods

Every effort will be made to ensure that the goods you have ordered arrive undamaged and without defect.

However, if the goods are found to be either damaged or defective at the time of delivery, you have the right to request for the goods to be rejected. Alternatively, you can request to keep the goods.

 

3.1.8a Keep the goods

• i. If the furniture is useable, despite the damage, we may be happy for you to use it. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
• ii. The Sterling Home delivery team will email customer service (if appropriate) to record the problem by sending photographs and a brief description.
• iii. This will be logged against your order number, and assessed for necessary further action.
• iv. A member of our customer service team will contact you to arrange a technician to visit and repair the problem to manufacturing standards. If he/she is unable to resolve the matter on the first visit and parts are required, we will endeavour to source them as quickly as possible.

3.1.8c After Delivery: If the pre-existing fault or damage is discovered after delivery, you should contact us as soon as you notice the defect, or at the latest within 30 days of delivery of the goods.

• i. A member of our team will then contact you to arrange a technician to visit and inspect the goods and discuss your options which may include returning the goods or repairing the problem to manufacturing standards, generally within 14 days.
