12.2
The Company shall have no liability to the Customer for any loss or damage of any nature arising from any breach of any express or implied warranty or condition of these Terms or any negligence, breach of statutory or other duty on the part of the Company or in any other way out of or in connection with the performance or purported performance of or failure to perform under these Terms except: (a) for death or personal injury resulting from the Company’s negligence; or (b) as expressly stated in these conditions.

The Company reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and changes to their website.

The continued use of, or access to, the website by the Customer or any services offered therein, following the posting of any changes to these Terms of Service, constitutes acceptance of those changes.

14.1 Notice to Third Parties
All purchasers of the Company’s goods for resale undertake and agree to bring fully to the notice of all persons whomsoever with whom they may at any time deal the terms of these Conditions of sale.

15.1 Severability
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

16.1 Product Care
It is the responsibility of the Customer to treat all purchased goods with due care and attention, as no responsibility can be accepted by the Company for damage caused by incorrect use or cleaning with products that contain bleach or other corrosive agents or as a result of negligence where the manufacturer’s instructions were not followed. Glass should only be cleaned with cleaning agents manufactured for use with glass products.

16.2
Appropriate care must be taken when handling Glass products such as Wall Art or Splashbacks before and during installation. Glass Splashbacks are made from toughened (also known as tempered) glass, which is a type of safety glass according BS EN 12150. Toughened glass should receive the same care as annealed (ordinary) glass. Careless handling and improper installation sometimes causes damage to the edges or corners and delayed breakage can occur when edge-damaged tempered glass is subjected to mechanical stresses; like those experienced during installation. Further, if cut, knocked or dropped, this material will produce instantaneous total fragmentation. DO NOT under any circumstances attempt to cut or drill a Splashback as it will shatter.

16.3
All Glass Splashbacks must be installed a minimum of 3cm (11/8”) from any heat source. This will include any hot water pipework concealed within walls and any radiant heat sources such as hobs, heated towel rails or radiators.
17.1 General
These Terms shall be governed by laws of England and Wales and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

17.2
The parties agree that these Terms and the Order Form constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties. These Terms and the Order Form supersede all understandings, representations and agreements made between the parties. However, neither party seeks to exclude or limit liability for any fraudulent misrepresentations.

17.3
The waiving (which must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of the relevant party) on a particular occasion by either party of rights under these Terms does not imply that other rights will be waived. If a party has a right arising from the other party’s failure to comply with an obligation under these Terms and delays in exercising or does not exercise that right, such delay in exercising or failure to exercise is not a waiver of that right or any other right.

17.4

Each clause of these Terms is a separate term and is intended to stand alone. Should any provision of these Terms be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from the remainder of these Terms which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
