Delivery
Delivery of the Products shall take place when the Products are delivered by our driver or nominated carrier to the address stated on our Order Confirmation or to such other address as may have been agreed between us in writing. The date for delivery quoted is a guideline only. Delivery dates will be applicable to deliveries to the UK mainland only. We do not accept responsibility for delays caused by factors beyond our control such as mis‑instruction, manufacturing delays, strikes or adverse weather conditions. We will use our reasonable endeavours to deliver within the quoted timescales to addresses in Scotland, however in some circumstances delivery may be delayed by an additional 2 – 3 days.
Delivery times may be extended during the Summer and Christmas holiday periods and during factory closures. It is advisable that no installation should be arranged until the Products have been received and checked. We will not be held responsible for any arrangement of installation prior to receipt and acceptance of the Products and any charges incurred in respect thereof.
We will take reasonable steps to pack the Products properly and to ensure that they are delivered in good order. We take no responsibility for defects arising after delivery from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or a third party, if you use the Products other than as we recommend, if you fail to follow our or the manufacturer’s instructions or if you carry out any alteration or repair without our approval.
If we are not able to deliver the whole of the order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, we will deliver the order in instalments. We will not charge you extra delivery cost for this. If you ask us to deliver the order in instalments, we may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. If we are late delivering an instalment or one instalment is faulty, that will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.
If you fail to take delivery of the Products or fail to provide a delivery address then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedy available to us, (a) we may store the Products until actual delivery and charge you for reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; (b) we shall have no liability for late delivery; (c) we may resell the Products at the best price readily attainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses), pay you any excess over the price of the Products or charge you for any shortfall below their price.
Shortages, Defective Goods and Returns
At the time of delivery, you should check that all items listed on the delivery note are present, prior to accepting the delivery. If there is a shortage in the delivery, please inform the sales team as soon as possible.
If some Products are missing from the order, please notify us by telephone or in writing. We will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the missing Products are then delivered, should it be found that this is the case.
All Products must be inspected once removed from the packaging and you must notify us within 3 days of delivery of any scratches, blemishes or other damage or defect which is apparent on reasonable inspection. Where the defect or damage is not apparent on reasonable inspection you must notify us within a reasonable time after the defect becomes apparent. Please refer to section “Guarantees” below for our warranty policy.
After inspection the Products should then be repackaged in their original packaging to prevent damage prior to installation. All packaging should be kept until installation.
If the Products are damaged, we will either replace or repair the Products. These Terms will apply to any repaired or replacement Products we supply to you. All damaged, imperfect or scratched radiators must be repackaged in their original packaging, ready for return to us. We will charge you for any replacement Products should the damaged, imperfect or scratched Product not be returned to us within 60 days of delivery of the replacement.
Installation of a damaged, scratched or imperfect Products will be regarded as an acceptance of the Product by you and no credit will be given under any circumstances. Imperfect Products should therefore not be fitted and we will not accept any responsibility for replacement of scratched, imperfect or damaged radiators once they have been installed. This includes any consequential loss or cost of fitting.
If you do not notify us as set out above, we will have no liability for any defect or failure and you will be bound to pay the price as if the Products had been delivered in accordance with these Terms.
Leaking Radiators
If any of the Products leak after installation or are otherwise faulty during the relevant warranty period (see below), please notify us within 5 days of the date on which you discover the fault. We will, at our discretion, either replace or repair the Products. If we replace a Product we will deliver a replacement Product and collect the damaged Product from you within 60 days of delivering the replacement. These Terms will apply to any repaired or replacement Product we supply to you. If we comply with this term we shall have no further liability in respect of the faulty Product.
We will charge you for any replacement Products should the faulty Product not be returned to us within 60 days of delivery of the replacement. All returned items should be suitably packaged to prevent any further damage.
Risk and ownership
The Products will be at your risk and responsibility from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due for the Products, including any delivery charges we may have specified.
Guarantees
We are not the manufacturers of the products listed in this brochure but we will use all reasonable endeavours to make over to you the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer, which is usually five years on most of our radiators and towel rails and 2 years on electric elements.
The guarantees in all cases are subject to the Products being installed in accordance with British and or European standards as well as directed by the manufacturer in their installation instructions. The guarantees in all cases are restricted to the free of charge replacement or repair of the failed product only.
Liability
YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THESE TERMS
Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any matter which it would be illegal for us to exclude or attempt to exclude.
Subject to the other provisions in these conditions we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses which arise directly or indirectly in connection with the supply of the Products to you or your use or resale of the Products.
Our total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the supply of the Products shall be limited to the price paid for the Products.
Description
All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by us and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products described in them. They will not form part of these Terms.
Technical
All technical data, measurements and outputs and colour options are in accordance with the manufacturer’s terms of reference at the time of going to press. Each manufacturer reserves their individual rights to change, alter or discontinue products (including brackets and fixtures) as illustrated within our catalogue. You are advised to confirm at the time of ordering that the published technical data in our brochure and the enclosed price list is still valid. All radiators are supplied with B.O.E. (Bottom Opposite End) connections as standard, unless otherwise stated in our brochure.
When fitting valves appropriate amounts of PTFE and care must be taken when tightening the valves air vents and blank plugs, as excess pressure could damage radiator paint work which can result in rust formation and leaks. My Radiator Hub Ltd cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrectly fitted valves or air vents resulting in rusting around radiator tails.
Adequate provision must be made for expansion, since decorative and column radiators usually have a much greater water content than standard panel radiators. Aluminium radiators are often lower water content than steel, but adequate allowance for expansion is still necessary. Long or tall radiators have a greater hydraulic resistance and flow rate, so may require the system pressure and flow rate to be increased. Open-vented and microbore systems may not be suitable for these radiators.
Paint Finishes
Please note, due to printing processes, colours in our printed material may not be representative of the true finished colour and appropriate colour charts should be used before selecting a colour.
It should be noted that due to the production process finished colours can vary by +/- 5-10% from samples or colour charts or sample chips provided and between radiators ordered in the same colour at different times. White radiators ordered from ranges may also vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
Adjusting Pipe Work Prior to Delivery
Whilst we endeavour to ensure all pipe centre dimensions are correct, manufacturing tolerances must be considered. Therefore, we strongly recommend that pipe work is not altered or adjusted until the new radiator or towel rail is fixed in its final position. We will not accept any responsibility for any claims relating to inaccurate pipe centre information.
Commissioning
In accordance with Part L1 2006 of The Building Regulations and BS7593:1992 code of practice for the treatment of hot water and central heating systems, we strongly recommend systems are suitably flushed to remove debris post installation of any new radiator(s) on a system and that a suitable quality and quantity of inhibitor is used to protect against scale, corrosion and bacterial growth in all types of indirect central heating systems including those containing aluminium. Failure to follow Part L1 2006 properly to protect a heating system will almost certainly lead to internal corrosion of radiators (or other products supplied) and will also almost certainly invalidate our product warranties. The rusting of radiator tails following installation would be classed as an installation error due to threads not being tightened and sludge build up in the system. Any radiator showing evidence of this occurring may not be considered for replacement by us and will be replaced at the discretion of My Radiator hub Ltd.
Maintenance
Towel rails and Radiators are not designed for drying wet or sodden items. They are suitable for airing and preparation of warm towels only. Regular attention should be given to venting tall radiators and towel rails where air may collect and reduce efficiency. All heating systems require regular visual inspection of radiators, valves and surface pipework to ensure there is no seepage and loss of water.
