In terse Terms and Conditions, “We”, “Our” and “Us” are all references to Decoralist – however, in the context of the Contract, You should read these Terms and Conditions as references to the relevant Retailer from whom you Ordered the Products.
3.2 How to contact us. You can contact Decoralist by writing to: info@decoralist.com
3.3 How We may contact You. If We must contact You, We may do so by email to the address You provided when You completed the checkout process on the Website, or that is registered on Your Account from time to time.
4. How does Decoralist work?
4.1 Ordering via the Website. We operate the Website as an electronic marketing platform, on which Listings may be posted by our selected Retailers for their Products. These Products are made available by those Retailers to You, and Decoralist allows You to place Orders to pay for Products through the Website and have the Product(s) delivered to the address You specify.
4.2 Your Contract is with Us. The Contract is between You and Decoralist, not the Vendor. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Terms and Conditions. We are authorised to act as the agent of Our Vendors to conclude and enter into the Contract with You.
4.3 When is the Contract formed? The Contract is formed when We receive confirmation from the relevant Vendor(s) that the Order can be fulfilled and we send you an Order confirmation email to that effect. We will send You that Order confirmation email to the email address associated with Your Account or, if You checkout as a ‘guest’, to the email address You entered during the checkout process.
4.4 Products may vary from their pictures. Decoralist aims to use the Listings to provide You with the information You need to know the essential characteristics of the Products. Although We aim to keep the Website and Product Listings as up-to-date as possible, the information, including Product Descriptions and Images, appearing on the Website at any particular time may not always reflect the position at the exact moment Your place an Order. Images shown in the Listings are for illustrative purposes only – given the digital method of presentation it is possible that Your perception may not exactly match the relevant Product itself.
4.5 Furniture measurements. The dimensions provided on the Product Listings are for your guidance. Before placing an Order, please ensure that there is adequate room to take the furniture through any doorways and windows, taking note of any restricted passageways, stairs and awkward turns. Decoralist is not responsible for any access issues when delivering furniture and customers will incur an additional fee of up to £50 if a delivery fails due to access issues.
4.6 Promotions. Decoralist may, at Our sole discretion, provide a promotional code that You can use to reduce the price of specified Products. When You receive a promotional code, it must be applied at checkout, and cannot be applied retrospectively. Any promotional code will come with its own terms (e.g. minimum spend, applicable Vendors, applicable Products and time frame for the usage of the code), which will be made clear at the time it is issued to You. If You are given a promotional code that is created specifically for Your use, it cannot be shared or transferred to other customers, or posted in a public forum. Decoralist reserves the right to cancel and/or suspend any promotional code that Decoralist feels is being misused. Any promotional codes applied against the applicable terms of these Terms and Conditions, will be removed from the Order.
4.7 Competitions. Decoralist may, at Our sole discretion, run competitions from time to time. Competitions are only open to those aged 18 years or older, and exclude Decoralist and competition employees and their immediate family. You will be notified of other terms that relate to the competition including eligibility criteria, start and end time, start and end date, the prize, competition rules, how the winner will be selected and notified, and how to claim the prize if You win. You will not be eligible to participate in or win if You do not comply with those competition terms. Decoralist’s decision regarding the winner is final. Decoralist reserves the right to award the prize to another participant if and to require the return of any prize already awarded. Winners may not substitute prizes in whole or in part for cash or any other item. Decoralist will not be responsible for any damage, loss or injury resulting from entry into the competition or the prize, except where its liability may not, as a matter of law, be limited.

By submitting an Order and providing Us Your payment card details at checkout, You authorise Decoralist to charge the relevant account to take payment for Your Order on behalf of the relevant Vendor.

6. Delivery, Delays, Damages & Other Charges
6.1 Prices in Listing exclude delivery charges. The prices shown on Listings for Products do not include delivery charges. The relevant delivery charges will be displayed to You during the checkout process.
6.2 Delivery estimates not binding. The Products You Order will be delivered by Vendors using a third party courier service. Please note that any estimated delivery dates displayed on the Website, or in any confirmation email or webpage, are simply estimates – they do not represent a guarantee that the Products will arrive by that delivery estimate. Furthermore, where parcels are held by customs clearance agencies, there may be significant delays to delivery. Unfortunately, these delays are beyond our control and we cannot accept responsibility for them.
6.3 Decoralist does not assume any sourcing risk and is only obliged to ship from existing stock or from stock ordered from Vendors. Decoralist has no liability to You in the event that its obligations to ship products to You ceases to exist when, Decoralist, through no fault of its own, does not receive goods in full or on time from Vendors, (provided always that Decoralist has informed You as soon as reasonably possible of the failure of its Vendor and/or has not explicitly agreed a separate sourcing risk). In such circumstances any payments made by You will be refunded.
6.4 Force majeure. In cases of force majeure (as subsequently defined), shipping duration may increase within reason. Force majeure shall include strike, exclusion, official intervention, energy (or resource) scarcity, shipping difficulties, business complications such as fire or water damage to machinery, lightning or any other foreseeable business complications for which Decoralist cannot be held responsible. Decoralist will inform You of the starting (and ending) point of such shipping impediments as soon as reasonably practicable. Please refer to Clause 14 for further details.
6.5 Damages. We strongly advise You thoroughly check Your Products upon receipt. To protect Your interests, any claim concerning damaged and/or defective Products found on delivery, or concerning damage and/or defective Products found at a later date, must be notified as soon as possible to our Customer Care Team in writing (info@decoralist.com) and within 48 hours of receiving the Product(s). We do not accept any claims for damages caused by You the Client after the Products have been delivered.
6.6 Orders delivered outside the UK. If You Order Products for delivery to a location outside the UK, those Products may be subject to import duties, taxes, and potentially other fees levied by the logistics company (including, but not limited to: holding fees, entrance fees, abandonment fees) which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. Decoralist nor the relevant Vendor are responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact Your local customs office for further information before placing an Order. These charges are not included in your order and will need to be paid locally upon receipt. If you refuse to pay the charges due on the parcel, it may be abandoned by your country's customs authority and you will not be refunded. If there are any outstanding charges (including, but not limited to: holding fees, entrance fees, abandonment fees) these may be invoiced to you or deducted from any refunds due.
6.7 Orders of UK Products to the EU, or EU Products to the UK. From 1 January 2021, on any Order you make of a UK Product to be delivered in the EU, or of an EU Product to be delivered in the UK, Decoralist may add applicable customs and/or import duties and/or import taxes to such Order and any applicable VAT (in relation to Products under the value of £135) at checkout and you agree to pay such customs and/or import duties and taxes at checkout. Where Decoralist adds such customs and/or import duties and taxes to the checkout page, Decoralist shall be responsible for transmitting and reporting the applicable customs and/or import duties and taxes to the relevant authorities, not you, and you acknowledge and accept this. Where Decoralist does not include customs and/or import duties at checkout, then you accept and acknowledge that you will be responsible for the payment of any such customs and/or import duties and taxes that are not included at checkout.
