- Our contract with you for our Bespoke Wardrobe Service
- In order to access our Bespoke Wardrobe Service, you must submit your request for our Wardrobe Consultation Service by completing the new client application on our website to assess your lifestyle, tastes, and needs. Any information collected from you during this process will be stored, shared and used only for the purpose of our provision to you of our Bespoke Wardrobe Service and in accordance with our customer privacy policy set out in the schedule to these terms.
- Our acceptance of your request will take place when we write to you to accept it, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
- If we are unable to accept your request, we will inform you of this. This might be because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for or because the information provided by you in your application is incomplete.
- Wardrobe Consultations
- If we accept your request for our Wardrobe Consultation Service, you will first be invited to a consultation appointment and then to a fitting appointment. The fitting appointment can be an extension of the consultation appointment, or a separate appointment.
- You will be asked to make your final selection of garments for your Wardrobe during your fitting appointment. There is no obligation to place an order for a Wardrobe either during or after a consultation and fitting appointment.
- During the fitting appointment, which will last at least one hour, we will seek to take all such measurements as are required to produce a made-to-measure Wardrobe for you. If you wish to place an Order without measurements being taken to our satisfaction, then you will be responsible for paying the costs of any post-production alterations required.
- Appointments
- Appointments will take place at the Spencer Hart showroom, unless you request the appointment to take place at your home.
- Appointments may be booked by us or by the Client.
- If we visit your home for a consultation or fitting appointment, you will be responsible for paying the travel, accommodation and daily subsistence expenses incurred by our employees as a result of their attendance at such appointment. We will notify you of the amount of these expenses and request payment of them prior to the appointment date. These costs and expenses are non-refundable and must be paid prior to the appointment taking place.
- Orders for Wardrobes
- During or following your fitting appointment, we will send an Order Form to you containing a description of your chosen Wardrobe (including any Personalisation of the garments within the Wardrobe that you have requested), the price payable (including any delivery charges) and the estimated delivery date. You may confirm your request for our supply to you of your chosen Wardrobe by signing and returning the Order Form to us.
- We will accept the Order Form by issuing an invoice to you in respect of your chosen Wardrobe. The contract for the Order will be formed at this point and will be subject to these terms.
- You may cancel or change your Order at any time within 48 hours of receipt of our invoice for such Order.
- If you wish to make a change to your Order after this time 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 Wardrobe, 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 cancel the Order, in which case no refund will be made.
- A Client’s first Order must comprise at least one Core Wardrobe Collection. For a description of the wardrobe collections and single garment options available to Clients please refer to our website.
- If, after the Order is confirmed, your chosen fabric is no longer available, we may substitute a new fabric for the unavailable fabric. If the new fabric is significantly different from your chosen fabric we will notify you and you may then contact us to either confirm the substituted fabric or choose a new fabric. If no new fabric can be found to your satisfaction, you may cancel the part of the Order which cannot be fulfilled and we will refund you the proportion of the price applicable to the cancelled part of the Order.
- Delivery of the Wardrobe
- Unless you request collection of the Wardrobe from our London showroom, we will arrange delivery of the Wardrobe to your nominated delivery address specified in the Order Form. The Client is responsible for paying the cost of delivery of the Wardrobe to the Client’s nominated address specified in the Order Form, unless the Client’s nominated address is to a postal district within Greater London in which case delivery will be made free of charge. Delivery charges must be paid before we dispatch the Wardrobe.
- We will notify you of the proposed delivery date, which will be within 12 weeks of the day on which you pay for the Order. We will pay the costs of delivery of any part of the Wardrobe which is delivered later than 12 weeks after payment for the Order unless the delay is attributable to the Client.
- If our supply of the Wardrobe 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. We will pay the costs of delivery if the delay causes the Wardrobe to be delivered later than 12 weeks after payment for the Order. Provided we do all of this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a substantial delay you may contact us to cancel the Order and receive a refund for any parts of the Wardrobe you have paid for but not received.
- If you have asked to collect the products from our London showroom, we will notify you when they are ready for collection. Please ensure that you check our opening hours prior to visiting the showroom.
- If no one is available at your address to take delivery, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery.
- If you do not collect the Wardrobe from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you at your address, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from us 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 10.5 will apply.
- We aim to deliver all garments within an Order at the same time, however, if 75% or more of the items comprising the Order is ready for delivery on the proposed delivery date, we will deliver the Order in two parts.
- The Wardrobe will be your responsibility and will be owned by you from the time we deliver the Wardrobe to your nominated address, or you or a carrier organised by you collect it from us.
- We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Wardrobe to you, for example information relevant to a Personalisation request. We will contact you to ask for this information. 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 (see clause 10.4) 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 Wardrobe late or not supplying any part of it if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
- Post-Production Alterations
- If, following delivery, you require any alterations to or further Personalisation of your Wardrobe which fall within the Inclusive Alterations List, we will pay for a third party alterations service approved or sourced by us to carry out such alterations. The cost of two such rounds of alterations will be met by us. Any damage caused to the Wardrobe while alterations are carried out will be repaired at our cost.
- An additional fitting appointment may be required prior to each round of alterations, in which case clause 4 will apply. If you wish to proceed with any alterations without measurements being taken to our satisfaction at a further fitting appointment, then you will be responsible for paying the costs of any further round of post-production alterations required.
- If your Wardrobe has been Personalised, we will, at your request, arrange for such Personalisation to be removed at our cost during the first round of alterations only.
- If you wish the Wardrobe to undergo further Inclusive Alterations after the second round or if you require alterations outside the scope of the Inclusive Alterations List (including the removal of Personalisation after the first round of alterations), you will be responsible for arranging and paying for such alterations.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but, except as set out in clause 12.2, we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Wardrobe, including the right to receive goods which are as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

- Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. 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. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
- Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.

You can submit a complaint to Centre of Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) via their website at www,cedr.com.
