We will process the refund amount due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of the day on which we receive the returned product(s) (if applicable) or, if earlier, the day on which you supply evidence of having sent the product(s) to us.

If there is a shortage or excess in the delivery, please note this on the delivery note prior to signing both copies and returning one to the delivery driver. If you sign the delivery note, this is deemed as acceptance by you that all listed items have been delivered.

9.2 If some products are missing from the order or you have been delivered products that you did not order, please notify us by telephone or in writing by email at info@radiatorsdirect.co.uk. We will not charge you for any incorrect products or products which you have not received.

9.3 In the circumstances set out in clause 9.2, we reserve the option to collect the incorrect products or incorrect quantity from you although we will not collect them in all circumstances.

9.4 In addition to your right to cancel at clause 8 and the warranty at clause 10, if the products are defective (including if the products you receive are not as described, not fit for purpose or not of satisfactory quality), we will offer to either replace, repair the products or offer a refund, as appropriate in accordance with your consumer rights. All defective products must be repackaged in their original packaging, ready for return to us. We may charge you for any replacement products should the defective products not be returned to us within 60 days of delivery of the replacement. We may ask you for reasonable evidence (for example a photograph) in respect of such faulty products.

9.5 Installation of products with minor imperfections will be regarded as an acceptance of the product by you and no credit will be given under any circumstances. Imperfect products should therefore not be fitted, and we will not accept any responsibility for replacement of such products once they have been installed. This includes any consequential loss or cost of fitting.

10. Warranty

If we replace a product, we will deliver a replacement product and collect the damaged product from you within 60 days of delivering the replacement. These Terms will apply to any repaired or replacement product we supply to you.

10.4 If we repair or replace a defective product under clause 10.3, we will not in any circumstances be held liable or responsible for any other costs, including changing the radiator (except where the product is a radiator), pipework, carpet or skirting boards.

10.5 We may charge you for any replacement products should the faulty product not be returned to us within 60 days of delivery of the replacement. All returned items should be suitably packaged to prevent any further damage.

10.6 The products are supplied for private, domestic use only and not for any commercial or business purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the warranties in these Terms (including the warranty in clause 10.1) shall not apply where a product is used for a commercial or business purpose.

11. Guarantees

11.1 We are not the manufacturers of all the products that are made available for purchase via the site, but we will use reasonable endeavours to give you the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the relevant manufacturer.

11.2 All guarantees in all cases are subject to the products being installed in accordance with British and or European standards as well as directed by the manufacturer in their installation instructions. The guarantees in all cases are restricted to the free of charge replacement or repair of the failed product only.

12. Liability

12.1 If we fail to comply with these Terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if the loss or damage was an obvious consequence of our breach or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into the contract.

12.2 We only supply the products for domestic and private use, and we are not responsible for any business losses. You agree not to use the product for any commercial, business or re-sale purposes and we have no liability to you for any business losses, including any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of business opportunity, or any other losses arising from the commercial use of any products.

(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence;

15. Intellectual Property Rights

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our site, and in the material published on the site. Those works are protected by international copyright law. All such rights are reserved. You may print off one copy and may download extracts of any page(s) from our site for your personal reference. You must not modify the paper or digital copies of any materials you have printed off or downloaded in any way. You must not use any part of the materials on our site for commercial purposes without obtaining a licence to do so from us or our licensors. If you print off, copy or download any part of our site in breach of these terms of use, your right to use our site will cease immediately and you must, at our option return or destroy any copy of the materials you have made. If you believe that any content on the site in any way infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us immediately identifying your rights and the material you claim is infringing your rights.

16. General

16.1 You may not transfer any of your rights or obligations under a contract to another person without our prior written consent, which we will not withhold unreasonably. We can transfer all or any of our rights and obligations under a contract to another organisation, but this will not affect your rights under these Terms.

16.2 This contract is between you and us. A person who is not party to these Terms shall not have any rights under or in connection with them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. The recipient of your gift of a product will have the benefit of our warranty at clause 10, but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these Terms.

16.3 If any court or competent authority decides that any of the provisions of these Terms are invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, the term will, to that extent only, be severed from the remaining terms, which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16.4 If we fail, at any time while these Terms are in force, to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not exercise any of our rights or remedies under these Terms, that will not mean that we have waived such rights or remedies and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, this will not mean that we will automatically waive any subsequent default by you. No waiver by us of any of these Terms shall be effective unless we expressly say that it is a waiver and we tell you so in writing.

16.5 Please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a contract for the purchase of products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a resident of Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

17. Technical

17.1 All technical data, measurements and outputs and colour options are in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms of reference at the time of release. Each manufacturer reserves their individual rights to change, alter or discontinue products (including brackets and fixtures) as illustrated within our site. You are advised to confirm at the time of ordering that the published technical data on our site and the price list is still valid. All radiators are supplied with B.O.E. (Bottom Opposite End) connections as standard, unless otherwise stated on our site. If you require a radiator with different connections or optional positions for plugs and bushes, you should check that these are available, and the change must be specified at the time of order.

17.2 When fitting valves appropriate amounts of PTFE and care must be taken when tightening the valve as excess pressure could damage radiator paint work which can result in rust formation and leaks. IRSAP UK Limited cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrectly fitted valves or airvents. Please read our Valve Fitting Instructions.

17.3 It should be noted that due to the production process colours can vary by +/- 5-10% from samples or colour charts provided on our site and between radiators ordered in the same colour at different times. As a result of the casting process, cast iron radiators have a rough surface finish with small imperfections which will show after the painting process.

17.4 White radiators ordered from different colour codes may vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. It should also be noted that some colours may also vary slightly from RAL charts provided on our site. Please note, due to printing processes, colours in our printed material may not be representative of the true finished colour and appropriate colour charts or samples should be used before selecting a colour.

17.5 Whilst we endeavour to ensure all pipe centre dimensions are correct, manufacturing tolerances must be considered. Therefore, we strongly recommend that pipe work is not altered or adjusted until the new radiator or towel rail is fixed in its final position. We will not accept any responsibility for any claims relating to inaccurate pipe centre information.

17.6 Commissioning

In accordance with Part L1 2006 of The Building Regulations and BS7593:1992 code of practice for the treatment of hot water and central heating systems, we strongly recommend systems are suitably flushed to remove debris post installation of any new radiator(s) on a system and that a suitable quality and quantity of inhibitor is used to protect against scale, corrosion and bacterial growth in all types of indirect central heating systems including those containing aluminium. Failure to follow Part L1 2006 properly to protect a heating system will almost certainly lead to internal corrosion of radiators (or other products supplied) and will also almost certainly invalidate our product warranties. We reserve the right to request and undertake Sentinel water tests (or similar) at our cost to check the quality of a heating system; details of all reports will be provided.

17.8 Maintenance

Towel rails and Radiators are not designed for drying wet or sodden items. They are suitable for airing and preparation of warm towels only. Regular attention should be given to venting tall radiators and towel rails where air may collect and reduce efficiency. All heating systems require regular visual inspection of radiators, valves and surface pipework to ensure there is no seepage and loss of water.
