b. be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely on, or it is unreasonable for you to rely on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and
c. conform to their description.
43. It is not a failure to conform if the failure has its origin in your materials.
Successors and our sub-contractors

a. the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and b. the party's obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer's above rights relating to delivery and any right to cancel, below.

Right of Return and Refund
50. You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made if you simply wish to change your mind without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability.
51. If you are a Consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract (under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013) during the period set out below in clause 52. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep the Goods, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract under these regulations is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
52. You can cancel the Contract except for any Goods which are made to your special requirements by telling us no later than 14 days after you received the product, if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without liability, except in that case, you must return to any of our business premises the Goods in undamaged condition at your expense. Then we must without delay refund you the price for those Goods which have been paid for in advance, but we can retain any separate delivery charge. This does not affect your rights when the reason for the cancellation is any defective Goods. This Returns Right is different and separate from the Cancellation Rights below.
53. However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any made-to-measure or custom-made Goods or Goods made to your specification or clearly personalised. This exception to the right to cancel includes any wood or other materials cut to a length or dimension specified by you and where goods are inseparably mixed with other goods after their delivery (e.g., wood that has been painted by the customer).
54. To cancel a Contract, please contact us in writing to tell us by sending an e-mail to contact@planedoak.co.uk or by sending a letter to GG Joinery, Horne Park Farm, Bones Lane, Lingfield, RH7 6HR. You may wish to keep a copy of your cancellation notification for your own records. If you send us your cancellation notice by e-mail or by post, then your cancellation is effective from the date you sent us the e-mail or posted the letter to us. If you cancel using our form or by email, we will e-mail you to confirm we have received your cancellation.
55. If you cancel your Contract we will:
refund you the price you paid for the Goods. However, please note we are permitted by law to reduce your refund to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop.
refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (provided that this is a common and generally acceptable method).
we will refund the amount you paid diminished by a fee from the card provider.
56. If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the refund without undue delay, and not later than:
a. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied or b. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods.
57. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the refund without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract.
58. If you have returned the Goods to us because they are faulty or misdescribed, we will refund the price of the defective Goods in full, any applicable delivery charges, and any reasonable costs you incur in returning the item to us.
59. We will make the refund using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the refund.
60. If the Goods have been delivered to you before you decide to cancel your Contract:
then you must return it to us undamaged, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after the day on which you let us know that you wish to cancel the Contract.
unless the Goods are faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us.
61. Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will refund to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
62. We may make a deduction from the refund for loss in value of any goods supplied if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss.
63. Because you are a Consumer, we are under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with this Contract. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Goods that are faulty or not as described. Your right to return and refund in these Terms and Conditions does not affect these legal rights. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.
64. You have a legal obligation to keep the Goods in your possession and to take reasonable care of the Goods while they are in your possession. ‘Reasonable care will include, but not exclusively, refraining from and ensuring that the following does not occur to the goods:
exposure to moisture
exposure to strong sunlight over a prolonged period of time;
cutting, altering or modifying the goods including the application of any form of a coating.
