Terms and Conditions of Sale

PRICES

Are per metre, plus applicable VAT at current rate. Under certain circumstances we reserve the right to change prices, change specifications and withdraw fabrics without prior notice.

PATTERN BOOKS & SWATCHES

The Pattern Books and swatches supplied by S Ross & Co Ltd include important information with regard to characteristics and suitability of the fabric. We strongly advise that all relevant information is brought to the attention of your customers at the point of sale.

COLOUR MATCHING

It is not possible to always obtain an exact colour match to the samples in our pattern books. Although every effort is made to control the colours, variations in shades can sometimes occur between different deliveries. If a close match is required please request a sample which will be sent quickly and free of charge. If this is acceptable the sample must be returned attached to your order specifying to match as sample. If this is not done we regret that we will not accept any liability for shade variations.

PILE FABRICS

All upholstery pile fabrics are subject to pile pressure and creasing to some degree, but frequent turning of the cushions, where possible, and good general care of your upholstery will help to maintain the original appearance of the fabric. All cushion interiors, which are used with pile fabrics, must be lined. On all Chenilles we recommend overlocking, seam allowances of two centimetres and minimum eight stitches per two and a half centimetres.

GENERAL CARE

Upholstered furniture should not be exposed to long periods of direct sunlight and should be cleaned regularly following the advice in our pattern books.

AFTER SALE TREATMENTS

We regret that under no circumstances are we able to consider any complaints where fabrics have been treated with chemicals or agents not recommended by ourselves.

WEBSITE

The Ross Fabrics website (www.rossfabrics.co.uk) contains digital representations of the majority of fabrics offered.
