We do our utmost to ensure that all our web prices and descriptions are accurate and up to date, but on rare occasions it is possible that errors may occur. Our team will check the details of your order and if we find that there is a pricing or other error we will notify you as soon as possible and give you the choice to proceed with your order at the correct price/specification or to cancel your order and obtain a full refund.

If you have provided your own measurements, you are responsible for these being accurate and Carpetright accepts no liability if the products does not fit. Therefore, please make sure that these are correct at the time of ordering to avoid any issues upon delivery or when the product is fitted.

Liability

While we try and get things right first time, occasionally things don’t go according to plan. Subject always to your statutory rights, if your product is not of satisfactory quality or is not fit for a purpose which was made known to us, we will replace any defective product in accordance with Consumer Rights Act.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Our products are only suitable for normal domestic use and are not necessarily suitable for commercial use, particularly where there are different fire safety standards in respect of some commercial uses with which the products may not comply.

If you are acting other than as a consumer, all terms, conditions and warranties implied by law (other than the warranty as to title) are excluded. You must make your own decision as to whether the products you select are fit for their purpose, even if the purpose is made known to us. In these circumstances our liability is limited to the cost of replacing any defective product. No liability is accepted for any loss of rental income, inconvenience, distress, inability to hire the room, loss of turnover, loss of profit or any indirect and/or consequential losses whatsoever.

This provision does not affect any liability we have for fraud or fraudulent misstatement or for personal injury arising out of our negligence.

Products and Measuring

Measuring Guide

You confirm that you have read and understood the measuring guide.

Product Guarantees

We are responsible for ensuring that the products we supply are of satisfactory quality, conform to the sample and are fit for the purpose for which they are sold. Certain products have additional guarantees provided by us or the manufacturer. Where they are provided by the manufacturer, we accept no responsibility for these additional warranties or guarantees.

Our Pricing in detail

Clear Pricing

At Carpetright we want our customers to have confidence that they are getting the very best value on all our products. That's why we constantly check our prices against our competitors to make sure ours are competitively low. It’s why our policy is backed by our promise - never to be beaten on price. For more information, please see our Price Promise. Discounts are clearly highlighted in store and online and some items may not be included in this promotion. The list price may not be the last selling price of a particular product.

Never beaten on price

We will refund the difference if, within 28 days of purchase from us, you either:

Have a quotation for the same products from another retailer at a lower price; or
Find an equivalent product of the same brand from another retailer at a lower price.

Never beaten on price

The price promise does not apply to offers available from vehicle-based retailers.
It also excludes prices from other stores in the Carpetright Group.
Where a request to beat a competing quote from another is made at the point of sale, any quote to be beaten must have been provided within the immediately preceding 28 days, be in writing and we must be able to identify the retailer who has provided the quotation. Any price to be beaten must be available from the competing retailer on the date of purchase from us within equivalent timescales to our own availability.
We will not refund the difference in circumstances where you have placed an order with us and the price of the products ordered have subsequently been reduced.
Different retailers will use different names for the same products. Our promise applies to the same products, by whatever names those products are called by other retailers.
In the unlikely event that you wish to claim a refund, please provide us with details of your order, the competitor, date, product details, warranty and delivery charges and the price displayed so that your claim can be verified. Once verified we will make payment in respect of the claim as appropriate. Refunds for valid claims will be processed by your local store or our Store Support Office and issued back to the payment card used. A cheque will be issued if the order was paid for in cash or cheque.

Payment

Online payments may be made by debit or credit card. Payment using a debit or credit card is taken at the time you place your order and is processed using an independent company’s secure payment processing system. We do not see, or have access to, any of your payment card information.

Delivery

Delivery and/or installation dates are estimates only and given in good faith, but are not guaranteed times or dates and should not be relied upon as such. Time is not of the essence of the contract.

Please check that the products you receive are the ones you ordered, the correct colour and size, and that they are examined for apparent faults or damage at the time of delivery and before installation/assembly. If on inspection you have any doubts, please contact us immediately.

In the event that we have not been able to deliver your goods due to you not being at home, you may incur additional charges to arrange re-delivery.

We do not deliver products ourselves, but use third party delivery services. Your details will be shared with them to allow delivery to take place. We will share your information (name, address and contact details, together with the product being delivered) with the delivery provider.

We deliver to most postal areas in the UK including Northern Ireland, however, in certain postcode areas additional charges will apply. We do not deliver outside these areas e.g. Channel Islands, Shetland Islands, Isle of Man.

Delivery costs: £7.95 for any order less than £199; free for any order more than £199.

Cancellations and Returns

The following is only applicable where a contract has been made over the internet. It does NOT apply where a contract is made in a store.

In addition to your normal statutory rights, subject to certain exceptions, see below, as a consumer you also have the right to cancel the contract at any time up to fourteen days after the date your order is delivered to you, or if you have ordered more than one item and they are delivered on different dates, fourteen days after the date of the last delivery of your order. Please contact us within fourteen days of delivery for cancellations and returns.

If your order has not been delivered and you wish to cancel it you can do so by contacting our Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444.

One of the team will check the status of your order and confirm if the cancellation is possible.

Made-to-Measure or Made-to-Order Products

The right to cancel does NOT apply to products that are made to your specifications. If the products are excluded from your right to cancel we will find out whether or not they have already been cut or made to your specifications and if not we will accept a cancellation of your order and refund your money.

General

When your products have been delivered you have a reasonable opportunity to make sure that they are the products you ordered. If not you must not cut into, fit or use them (other than to check whether or not they are the right products). You must retain the packaging so that this can be reused, if possible, for their return. You will be responsible for the condition of the products and for their reasonable care whilst they are in your possession. Please contact the store from which the products were ordered within fourteen days of delivery.

You are under a duty to take reasonable care of the products until the end of any cooling off period. You must ensure that the products are not soiled in any way.

How to return the products

If you cancel your order and wish to return the products in accordance with your statutory right to cancel, we or our agent will arrange collection of the products. Product must not have been used, cut or damaged in any way and clear photo evidence will be required.

Any refund of the purchase price in respect of returns will be made after deducting the applicable collection charge.

After this statutory fourteen day ‘cooling off’ period, you have the protection of your statutory rights. If you are unsure of your rights, please do not hesitate to seek advice from Trading Standards or other advisory body.

After Sales Service

If you require any help or are not satisfied after you have made your purchase, please contact us. In the first instance this should be to the store which is fulfilling, or has fulfilled your order (in respect of floorcoverings). It is really important that you tell us if you are not satisfied as soon as possible to enable us to put things right for you quickly.
