3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

4. Our products
4.1 Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images. It should also be noted that leather can contract or expand very slightly due to climactic conditions which may affect the dimensions of goods on a minuscule level, but not on any nominal level given in a product description.
4.2 Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.
4.3 Making sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making a bespoke product to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct. You can contact us for further assistance with measurements should you require bespoke goods to be made.
5. Your rights to make changes
General retail of our products it done through the website shop where standard products are offered at a standard price. Any departure from our standard range of products must be treated as a customised or bespoke product. We welcome the opportunity to make bespoke products for our customers, but they are always subject to thorough discussion to arrive at a clear specification, which leads to an individual costing and offer at a special price. If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 – Your rights to end the contract). If we are making a bespoke product and we have begun the manufacturing process it may not be possible to change to order. We would recommend you contact us within 48 hours of acceptance of your bespoke order otherwise it may be unlikely we can alter your specifications.
6. Our rights to make changes
6.1 Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:
(a) to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
(b) We are focused on improving our products over time so small changes in materials and methods may be applied to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.
7. Providing the products
7.1 Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website, or for trade or bespoke orders as advised in your order acceptance notice.
7.2 When we will provide the products. During the order process we will let you know when we will provide the products to you however time shall not be of the essence in relation to any order we accept.
7.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received, other than where manufacture of bespoke goods has begun.
7.4 If you are not available when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.
7.5 If you do not re-arrange delivery. If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 10.2 will apply.
7.6 Your legal rights if we deliver goods late. You have legal rights if we deliver any goods late. If we miss the delivery deadline for any goods then you may treat the contract as at an end straight away if any of the following apply:
(a) we have refused to deliver the goods;
(b) delivery within the delivery deadline was essential (taking into account all the relevant circumstances); or
(c) you told us before we accepted your order that delivery within the delivery deadline was essential and this was accepted by us
7.7 Setting a new deadline for delivery. If you do not wish to treat the contract as at an end straight away, or do not have the right to do so under clause 7.6, you can give us a new deadline for delivery, which must be reasonable, and you can treat the contract as at an end if we do not meet the new deadline.
7.8 Ending the contract for late delivery. If you do choose to treat the contract as at an end for late delivery under clause 7.6 or clause 7.7, you can cancel your order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. If you wish, you can reject or cancel the order for some of those goods (not all of them), unless splitting them up would significantly reduce their value. After that we will refund any sums you have paid to us for the cancelled goods and their delivery. If the goods have been delivered to you, you must post them back to us or allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection. Please call customer services on 07895 440450 or email us at uberdoofer@gmail.com for a return label or to arrange collection.
7.9 When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or a carrier organised by you.
7.10 When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full and it is delivered to you. Until that time we have retention of title over the goods.
7.11 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, particular graphics for bespoke or trade items. If so, this will have been requested from you when we confirmed your order. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.12 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(c) make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).
7.13 We may suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 12) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 12.3).
8. Your rights to end the contract
8.1 You can always end your contract with us.

8.4 When you don’t have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of Bespoke products especially those that may include dedicated branding or company logos that would prevent taking back into stock for general sale and those for which a separate agreement has been reached for exclusive supply that prohibits secondary sale and there is no cooling period applicable.
8.5 How long do I have to change my mind? How long you have depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
(a) Have you bought goods?, if so you have 14 days after the day you receive the goods, unless:

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
