If your measurements and sizing change it will be your responsibility to notify us, in which case we will confirm if we are able to make further alterations prior to delivery and what the estimated additional costs will be.

6. We will measure and advise on the size to be ordered. If you are not happy with the sizing you must inform us at the time of order. We will not be responsible for any sizing discrepancies after this time. If you defer being measured to a later date it will be the customer’s responsibility to ensure that such measurements are taken in good time for the products to be ordered and delivered in time.

9. During the order process, we will let you know when we will provide the products to you. Unless a fixed date for delivery has been agreed in writing, we will deliver the Products within a ‘reasonable amount of time’, taking account of the complexities of any alterations to be made to the Product and the location the Product is being sourced from.
