Our Terms are payment in full before goods are despatched. All goods remain the property of the Company until paid for in full. Consequently, all transactions and agreements entered into will cease with immediate effect if payment is not received in full.

Delivery Policy
Shortages/damages (a) The customer is under a duty to inspect the goods on delivery or on collection as the case may be. (b) When goods are offered for delivery to site Gutter Centre's obligation is to deliver as near to site as a safe hard road permits. If a vehicle delivers or collects goods to or from a place off the public road the customer shall be solely responsible for any accident or damage resulting. The customer shall provide free of charge any labour necessary for unloading goods when delivered and Gutter Centre responsibility is limited to handling goods off the vehicle. If any Gutter Centre vehicle is kept on site for an unreasonable time or has to return to the depot without completing delivery through lack of assistance or if additional staff have to accompany any Gutter Centre driver, an appropriate additional charge will be made. If the customer does not accept delivery of goods ordered for any reason costs incurred will be charged. (c) No liability is accepted for any loss arising from delay in delivery of goods unless Gutter Centre have expressly agreed to be bound by a delivery date which is of the essence of the contract. When delivery depends upon receipt of goods from the manufacturer, Gutter Centre do not accept responsibility for delay in such delivery unless Gutter Centre have obtained and reported to the customer acceptance by the manufacturer of the express condition as to time; but Gutter Centre will afford to the customer any remedy available to Gutter Centre against the manufacturer but this shall be the limit of Gutter Centre's liability. Gutter Centre accept no responsibility for delay or non-delivery due directly or indirectly to strike, fire, act of state, force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control. (d) If the customer wishes to claim that there is any shortage on delivery in respect of goods supplied by Gutter Centre, that the same have been damaged in transit or that any goods supplied by Gutter Centre are defective or not in accordance with the contract, then the customer shall give notice in writing to Gutter Centre and (in the case of any shortage or damage in transit) to any carrier by whom the goods were delivered, within three days after the date of delivery of the same. If the customer fails to give such notice in writing, does not provide images showing the damage or fails to give Gutter Centre the opportunity to inspect the entire consignment, the goods shall be deemed to have been delivered and to be in accordance with the contract in all respects, and therefore accepted by the customer. (e) If the customer or the customer’s consignee breaks bulk on delivery or unloads the whole or any part of a consignment of goods or materials the customer is deemed to have accepted delivery.

Returns Policy
You can return stock items within 14 days of your purchase for a full refund (excluding any carriage charges), subject to the items being unused, still in the original packaging, not special ordered and in saleable condition. 
Returns of any non stock items or metal/ GRP guttering products (Cast Iron, Aluminium, GRP and Steel) may incur a re-stocking charge and are subject to the manufactures discretion. Unfortunately we are unable to arrange collections so you will be responsible to return the goods, in a saleable condition, to the address we provide you at your own cost. If any product supplied has been made to order by the manufacturer the goods are non returnable. This includes all aluminium, GRP, steel or cast iron mill/painted/ powder coated items and all Harmer products. Please feel free to call us should you require returning any goods and we will advise accordingly.
Please contact us first to arrange any returns as this may be to the manufacturers address or to the Gutter Centre warehouse. We will also require a copy of your original purchase invoice with any returned items.
As soon as the items have been returned, checked back into our warehouse or manufacturers yard and confirmation that the goods returned are in a saleable condition, we will arrange for a refund back to the original credit/debit card that you used for your purchase, less any re-stocking charge applicable.

Cancellation Policy
Minimum 72 hours notice of cancellation required. Notification for instance, in person, via email, mobile phone ‘text message’ and/or fax, or any other means will be accepted subject to confirmation in writing. We reserve the right to levy a £30 charge to cover any subsequent administrative expenses. If any product paid for has been made or painted to order by the manufacturer the order can not be cancelled and the goods are non returnable. 

Termination of Agreements and Refunds Policy
Both the Client and ourselves have the right to terminate any Services Agreement for any reason, including the ending of services that are already underway. No refunds shall be offered, where a Service is deemed to have begun and is, for all intents and purposes, underway. Any monies that have been paid to us which constitute payment in respect of the provision of unused Services, shall be refunded.

Defects
The obligations of Gutter Centre under this Agreement are limited such that we will only be obliged (and shall have no further liability in contract, negligence or otherwise) at its option to either (i) repair, replace or rectify the faulty Goods or Services if any defects which we are reasonably satisfied are caused by faulty design, manufacture, materials or workmanship are discovered within three months from the date of dispatch or credit the Price (if already paid) attributable to the faulty Goods or Services only. Gutter Centre shall not be liable for defects caused by abnormal use, incorrect installation, colour match, incorrect specification or design provided by the Buyer, misuse or neglect or any matter relating to defective fitting or affixing. The Buyer may only claim the benefit of this clause if Gutter Centre are informed of the relevant defect in writing within seven days of discovering it and, where it concerns Goods alone, the returned goods are sent back to us at the customer own expense. Gutter Centre shall not be liable to the Buyer in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty) or otherwise, even if Gutter Centre was advised of the possibility of them in advance, howsoever and whatever the cause thereof for any: (a) economic loss; (b) loss of profits; (c) loss of contracts, revenues or anticipated savings; (d) damage to the Buyers reputation or goodwill; (e) damage to property of the Buyer or anyone else whatsoever; or (f) loss resulting from any claim made by any third party; or (g) special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any nature whatsoever.
The maximum aggregate liability of Gutter Centre in connection with the supply of Goods or their use by the Buyer shall be limited to the Price of the Defective Goods. The Buyer acknowledges that it bears the risk of all additional expenses, costs, losses, damages and liabilities which may be incurred. Gutter Centre strongly advises the Buyer to insure against all such potential expenses, costs, losses and liabilities. Should the Buyer wish the Gutter Centre to have a higher limit of liability, this must be raised with Gutter Centre at the earliest opportunity and expressly agreed by Gutter Centre in writing.

All prices are in pounds sterling and exclude VAT where applicable. Prices may be subject to change without notice.
