2.2.  Any variation to the Conditions (including any special terms and conditions agreed between the Parties) shall be inapplicable unless agreed in writing by and signed by a director on behalf of the Seller.

Quotation is valid on date of quotation only unless otherwise stated.

5. SPECIFICATION OF GOODS

5.1.  No description, specification or illustration contained in any product pamphlet or other sales or marketing literature of the Seller including the website and no representation written or oral, correspondence or statement shall form part of any Agreement.

5.2.  Goods described in the Seller’s literature, website or elsewhere are subject to a continuing process of technical change and development and the Seller therefore reserves the right to alter specifications without notice at any time before delivery. All descriptions, illustrations, specifications and dimensions are approximate and are only intended to present a general guideline as to the type of Goods represented thereby. It is therefore agreed by the Buyer that Goods supplied may not comply in all respects with the description in the Seller’s literature or elsewhere.

5.3.  The quality, quantity and description of and any specification for the Goods shall be those set out in the Seller’s quotation if accepted by the Buyer, End User or Consumer (or the Buyers’s purchase order, if accepted by the Seller).

5.4.  Goods sold by the Seller are sold either by viewing online, brochures, catalogues, showroom display or from samples shown. The Seller warrants that the typical quality of such merchandise is represented as closely as possible by any display samples or display models however. photography used in the Seller’s sales literature or other communications is representative of the Goods on a given day in typical lighting or studio conditions and are subject to chimney, flue, ventilation and weather variations, for example, possible variations in flame picture of the Goods.

5.5. All dimensions provided in the quotation, order or sales or marketing literature are approximate only. The information contained in such literature is intended as a guide only and the Seller does not warrant the accuracy of the information contained in it.

The End User or Consumer accepts that these are subject to outside influences over which the Seller has no control.

5.6. Materials such as stone, wood, concrete, granite, and any other natural product have naturally occurring features in their materials. This is typical of such materials and no two pieces are identical.

In purchasing the Goods the Buyer, End User or Consumer acknowledges that the natural materials used by the Seller may vary from sample to sample and product to product.

Polished & industrial finish concrete products – each one of our handmade concrete firepits will be unique and each may be permeated by a rich complexity of colour or shade variation. Although we will supply samples in advance of purchase, no single sample or image will tell the whole story.

Every firepit will appear different to a certain extent.

5.7. The Buyer, if not an End User or Consumer, acknowledges and shall ensure that the end user is aware that painted and finished surfaces of the Goods may discolour during use due to heat and that polished cleaning procedures must be carried out regularly.

5.8. The Seller operates a policy of continuous product development and improvement and the Buyer, End User or Consumer accepts that changes in detail may occur between ordering and delivery.

5.9. Outdoor patio gas fires such as fire pits should not be regarded as a primary source of heat. And the seller recommends that they are sold as decorative and not a heat source.

The Buyer, if not an End User or Consumer, accepts that it is their responsibility to inform the End User or Consumer that it is not expected to be a heat source

The Seller reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the Products which are required to conform to any applicable statutory or EC requirements or, where the Goods are to be supplied to the Sellers’s specification, which do not materially affect their quality or performance.

6. SPECIFICATION for INSTALLATION

6.1. All dimensions quoted are approximate and subject to change without notice and should be physically checked by the Buyer, End User or Consumer before commencing installation, site preparation, cutting materials and/or constructing a false chimney breast.

6.2. All gas Fire products whether for indoor or outdoor use are complex products and End User safety demands that they be installed and operated correctly by a suitably qualified and currently approved gas engineer.

The Goods are supplied to the buyer, End User or Consumer solely on the basis that they will be installed on behalf of the End User by experienced and, where necessary, fully qualified installers in accordance with the Rules in Force.

6.3. The Buyer, End User or Consumer accepts that the Seller cannot be held responsible for the effects of any drying-out or shrinkage of plaster surfaces. The buyer shall make the End User or Consumer aware that new plaster in the area above a heating appliance should be allowed to dry naturally as recommended by their plasterer (at least 4 weeks) before the use of the appliance.

6.4. In the event that Urban Choice Design Ltd quotes for installation costs, unless otherwise mentioned in writing, the cost of installation is for one visit only. Any Additional visits caused by inadequate site conditions/preparation, for example no gas or electric supply, no ventilation or drainage provision in the case of outside fireplaces. additional labour and travelling costs will apply.

6.5. In the case of outside gas fireplace products, although the assemblies and components are designed to be weather-resistant we strongly advise End Users to use a weather cover at all times when the Product is not in use in order to maintain the warranty.

All Urban Choice complete outside gas fireplaces including bespoke models are designed to be weather-resistant, but if components (only) are supplied by the Seller it is the Buyer, End User or Consumer’s responsibility to be sure of the waterproofing, drainage and ventilation of the design of the complete installation, to provide adequate ventilation and drainage to the components and to ensure the installation shall be free of moisture ingress, steam or condensation which may affect the longevity of Products or components. Corrosion can and will occur on Products or component(s) if not properly protected or if the cleaning and maintenance instructions supplied with each product are not followed. Generally such corrosion will be aesthetic rather than affecting the safe operation of the Product or component(s) but not always.

6.6. An annual service is mandatory for all gas appliances. Failure to have a gas appliance serviced according to the manufacturers’ instructions may involve additional costs in the event of failure.

6.7. It is the responsibility ( unless agreed otherwise) of the Buyer, end user consumer to ensure that the correct gas sizing has been completed by an approved gas installer to suit the installation requirements recommended for the installation.

6.8. In the event of an attendance by the Urban Choice approved Gas engineer on site his expertise will be deemed to be expert and his recommendations are final on Installation matters.

6.9. In an LPG bottled gas installation where no approved gas engineer is required, any call out under warranty deemed not to be the fault of the appliance will be charged.

For the purpose of simplicity, it is the sole responsibility of the buyer, end user , consumer to have previously installed both a correctly sized gas supply to ensure the correct standing and working pressure as required.

The decision of the Urban Choice approved engineer will be final and any associated work to either replace or repair the gas line, complete with any related building works will not be the responsibility of Urban Choice. Should Urban Choice be asked to rectify any previously installed pipe work, this will be quoted for and accepted in writing by the Buyer/consumer before the work commences.

Time of delivery shall not be the essence of the Agreement, unless expressly agreed in writing by the Seller.
