Amendments

We aim to constantly improve and develop the House Romanow website for the benefit of all our customers, to allow this process to take place, we may occasionally:

• modify or withdraw, temporarily or permanently, this Website (or any part of it) with or without notice; and/or
• change the Conditions from time to time, and your continued use of the Website (or any part of it) following such change will demonstrate your acceptance of such change.

If House Romanow is informed of any inaccuracies in the material on the Site we will attempt to correct them as soon as we reasonably can.

Damage to your computer

House Romanow makes every effort to ensure that this website is free from viruses or defects. However, due to the nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that your use of this website won’t affect your computer. House Romanow recommends that you purchase the right firewall and anti virus software to use this and other websites and screen out anything that may damage it. House Romanow shall not be liable in the very unlikely event that while using this website your computer equipment is damaged.

Accuracy of content

House Romanow has taken every care in the preparation of the content of this website, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at time of publishing and all products have been fairly described. However, orders will only be accepted if there are no material errors in the description of the goods or their prices as advertised on this website. All prices are displayed inclusive of V.A.T. We make every effort to display the colour of the furniture as accurately as possible. But as colour reproduction depends on your computer’s monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor’s display of the colour is accurate to the actual product. To help ensure that you purchase the sofa colour of your choice we will endeavour to send out a sample swatch of your chosen colour.

Before you place an order

If you decide you would like to place an order with House Romanow by speaking to one of our personal shopping advisors, please have the following information ready as it will help us process your order, however, we will be delighted to answer any queries you may have. Here are some of the most common questions for you to consider:

• Can access be gained easily for the furniture to be delivered? – are the doors wide enough, are there any awkward stairs, lift or passageways?
• Will the furniture fit in the room?
• Which range are you interested in?
• Which items from the range do you want to order? Please note that if you are thinking of buying extra items such as a footstool or chair at a later date, there may be a slight colour shade variance. It is therefore best to order all the furniture you require at the same time
• What colour would you like the furniture in?
• How would you like to pay for the furniture?

Acknowledgement and acceptance of your order

Everything that House Romanow sells is handmade. As a manufacturer we pride ourselves on being able to make furniture that’s perfect for you.

If you place an order with House Romanow, we will send all your paperwork by 1st class post to arrive within 3 working days.

It is important that you appreciate and understand that this order is a legally binding contract. Your statutory rights, including any cancellation rights, are unaffected.

Processing your order and delivery dates

You will be informed of the likely approximate length of time until delivery at the point of order. Once your order is confirmed as available for delivery we will contact you to agree definite arrangements for the date of delivery. Where possible we will deliver on the first available van in your area as we are unable to store your furniture. Every effort is made to see that the approximate delivery date is accurate, but on rare occasions the manufacture of your furniture may be delayed through circumstances beyond our control. We will, of course, make every effort to keep you informed.

If you choose to pay by one of the interest free credit options the approximate delivery time will start once we have received your signed finance documents and sales contract, so please, return this paperwork as soon as possible.

Your swatch box should be dispatched in the next day or two, and we’ll contact you by email to let you know that your swatch box is on its way. We would also like to keep in touch with you in the future. However, if you only want to know that your swatch box has been dispatched, you can unsubscribe by clicking the link in the same email.

Delivery and installation

A small charge of €79 is made for our delivery and installation service for deliveries made in Ireland, within a 40 mile radius by road of any House Romanow store. If you wish your order to be delivered outside the 40 mile radius we will be happy to provide you with a personal delivery quotation. e.g. mainland Europe, Channel Islands, etc.

House Romanow can deliver and fully install your furniture to destinations outside the Republic of Ireland and regularly deliver to mainland Spain and Portugal via our trusted third party suppliers. For a personal quote please call +353 1 564 5936 to speak to a personal shopper or leave your details and we will call you back for free.

On delivery

On the day of delivery, please ensure that the delivery team can gain easy access to the room that the furniture is going into. Please make sure that the area you want the furniture placed is cleared. Our delivery team will unpack your furniture, install it in the room of your choice and if you wish we will remove all packing materials from your home and recycle wherever possible. Unfortunately, we are not able to take away your old furniture. To make sure you are completely satisfied with your furniture the delivery team will ask you to sign for your furniture after it has been installed.

House Romanow guarantees that products advertised on this website as guaranteed delivery before Christmas will be delivered no later than the 24th December to mainland ROI addresses including Northern Ireland. If you live outside mainland ROI and NI please speak to a personal shopper who will be able to advise on delivery times. However, if due to circumstances beyond our control House Romanow fails to deliver in time for Christmas, substitute furniture will be supplied for use until your order is fulfilled.

Payment

Payment methods include debit or credit cards, Visa, Mastercard, Delta/Connect or Maestro. Payments can be made electronically by bank transfer, details will be provided on request. House Romanow do not accept any responsibility for cash sent in the post and strongly recommend that you do NOT use this method of payment.

If House Romanow have agreed that you can pay for the balance of your order by card on delivery, any outstanding payments must be made to the delivery team before the installation of the furniture will take place.

Cancellation Policy

European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 only apply to your order if the goods have not been custom made to your specification. If the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 do apply you can cancel your furniture by notifying us, in writing, before delivery or within 14 working days beginning with the day after the date of delivery.

Should you wish to return the goods it is your responsibility to take good care of the furniture. You are the owner of the furniture once it has been delivered to you and you are liable for any loss or damage. Failure to take reasonable care may result in a claim against you. To minimise the risk of any such claim we ask that you return the goods in appropriate packaging such as to prevent damage in transit.

Due to their intimate nature, all mattresses will be delivered sealed in clear plastic wrapping that will allow for inspection. Any mattresses that have been unsealed will be deemed as having been used. Therefore they cannot be returned for any reason other than because they are not as described or are not of satisfactory quality.

It is your responsibility to return the items to our central delivery point in a good condition. However House Romanow recognise that many customers do not have the means to do this, and so will arrange collection during normal business hours (Monday to Friday) if requested. In such circumstances a charge of up to 20% of the price of the furniture will be made to cover the cost of collecting the items. This charge will be calculated according to the number of items to be returned, availability of a delivery vehicle, your location and complexity of removal.

If you want to cancel your telephone or Ecommerce order please electronically fill in and submit the model cancellation form on our website www.houseromanow.com. If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay, to do so please complete this form.

Refunds

Following cancellation of your order any monies paid will be refunded by the method you used to pay us and usually within 14 days.
