We do our utmost to ensure that all our web prices and descriptions are accurate and up to date, but on rare occasions it is possible that errors may occur. Our team will check the details of your order and if we find that there is a pricing or other error, we will notify you as soon as possible and give you the choice to proceed with your order at the correct price/specification or to cancel your order and obtain a full refund. If we do not receive a response to this notification within 7 days, we will cancel the order and issue a refund of your payment.

If you have provided your own measurements, you are responsible for these being accurate and Carpetright accepts no liability if the floorcovering does not fit. Therefore, please make sure that these are correct at the time of ordering to avoid any issues upon delivery or when the floorcovering is fitted.

While we try and get things right first time, occasionally things don’t go according to plan. Subject always to your statutory rights, if your floorcovering is not of satisfactory quality or is not fit for a purpose which was made known to us, we will replace any defective floorcovering and arrange for the defective floorcovering to be uplifted and disposed of.

If there is a problem with the fitting which we arranged under the agency agreement referred to in these terms and conditions, we will ask the fitter concerned to revisit your property for the fitter to carry out any necessary remedial works. Any contract for fitting is between you and the fitter.

This does not affect your statutory rights.

Our products are only suitable for normal domestic use and are not necessarily suitable for commercial use, particularly where there are different fire safety standards in respect of some commercial uses with which the products may not comply.

If you are acting other than as a consumer, all terms, conditions and warranties implied by law (other than the warranty as to title) are excluded. You must make your own decision as to whether the products you select are fit for their purpose, even if the purpose is made known to us. In these circumstances our liability is limited to the cost of replacing any defective product. No liability is accepted for any loss of rental income, inconvenience, distress, inability to hire the room, loss of turnover, loss of profit or any indirect and/or consequential losses whatsoever.

This provision does not affect any liability we have for fraud or fraudulent misstatement or for personal injury arising out of our negligence.

Care guides and product information

You confirm that you have read and understood the care guides and product information relating to the product you are purchasing. A link to the care guide is available from the relevant product page of the product which you are purchasing.

Product guarantees

We are responsible for ensuring that the products we supply are of satisfactory quality, conform to the sample and are fit for the purpose for which they are sold. Certain products have additional guarantees provided by us or the manufacturer. Where they are provided by the manufacturer, we accept no responsibility for these additional warranties or guarantees.

Our pricing in detail

Clear pricing

At Carpetright we want our customers to have confidence that they are getting the very best value on all our flooring and beds. That's why we constantly check our prices against our competitors to make sure ours are competitively low. It’s why our policy is backed by our promise - never to be beaten on price. For more information, please see our Price Promise.

Discounts are clearly highlighted in store and online and some items may not be included in this promotion. The list price may not be the last selling price of a particular product.

Never beaten on price

We will refund the difference if, within 28 days of purchase from us, you either:

• Have a quotation for the same delivered and fully fitted floor covering products and services from another retailer at a lower price; or
• Find an equivalent divan, bed frame or mattress of the same brand from another retailer at a lower price.

Conditions to never beaten on price and the refund the difference promises:

• The price promise does not apply to online or category purchases or to offers available from vehicle-based retailers.
• It also excludes prices from other stores in the Carpetright Group.
• The promise to beat any floor covering price applies to on-the-floor, delivered and fully fitted prices. Similarly, the promise to beat any bed prices applies to the delivered price.
• Where you wish to purchase a floor covering product only, any competing quotation must be for that same product only and the other retailer must not carry out or arrange the supply or fitting of other related products. In these circumstances our price promise applies only to carpet, laminate and vinyl floor coverings, and does not include doormats, underlay, gripper, glue or ancillary products.
• The fitting cost is charged by and payable to the arranged fitter under a separate contract between you and the fitter.
• Where a request to beat a competing quote from another is made at the point of sale, any quote to be beaten must have been provided within the immediately preceding 28 days, be in writing and we must be able to identify the retailer who has provided the quotation. Any divan, bed frame or mattress price to be beaten must be available from the competing retailer on the date of purchase from us within equivalent timescales to our own availability.
• We will not refund the difference in circumstances where you have placed an order with us and the price of the products ordered have subsequently been reduced.
• Different retailers will use different names for the same products. Our promise applies to the same products, by whatever names those products are called by other retailers.

In the unlikely event that you wish to claim a refund, please provide us with details of your order, the competitor, date, product details, warranty and delivery charges and the price displayed so that your claim can be verified. Once verified we will make payment in respect of the claim as appropriate. Refunds for valid claims will be processed by your local store or our Store Support Office and issued back to the payment card used. A cheque will be issued if the order was paid for in cash or cheque.

Online payments may be made by debit or credit card. Payment using a debit or credit card is taken at the time you place your order and is processed using an independent company’s secure payment processing system. We do not see, or have access to, any of your payment card information.

Delivery and/or installation dates are estimates only and given in good faith but are not guaranteed times or dates and should not be relied upon as such. Time is not of the essence of the contract. If the expected delivery time is likely to, or does, exceed 30 days you will be entitled to cancel your order if you wish and receive a full refund, unless we have advised you of a longer timescale and you have agreed to it.

Please check that the products you receive are the ones you ordered, the correct colour and size, and that they are examined for apparent faults or damage at the time of delivery and before installation/assembly. If on inspection you have any doubts, please contact us immediately.

We do not deliver products ourselves; we use third party delivery services. Your details will be shared with them to allow delivery to take place. We will share your information (name, address and contact details, together with the product being delivered) with the delivery provider.

We deliver to most postal areas in the UK including Northern Ireland, however, in certain postcode areas additional charges will apply. We do not deliver outside the United Kingdom or to BFPO addresses. Details of areas where we do not deliver within the United Kingdom and where we can deliver, but additional charges will apply can be found in the Postcode Exceptions section below.

For more information on our Delivery Service please click here.

It is your responsibility to ensure that there is adequate free parking and free and clear access and clearance to allow the products to be delivered without damaging the products or any decoration through the route of access. If you do not do so, no responsibility is accepted for any damage caused unless and to the extent we have been negligent.

Making it easy package

Our making it easy package makes it seamless by arranging delivery and fitting for your new flooring. In addition to finding the best fitter for you through our fitting arrangement service we will arrange to deliver your flooring and provide a range of services to ensure a hassle-free experience. Our package includes preparing and packaging the flooring, a tidy up and removing any new unwanted waste and trimmings, making the whole process easier. We also offer 8 weeks of storage from the point of order to give you peace of mind, as we know home transformations can be stressful. The cost of our making it easy package is a fixed price, no matter how big your order is or where you are located in the UK.

Storage of products

We will only keep products in our warehouse for a maximum of 8 weeks after the date of your order. This includes any part-fitted products. You must accept delivery of your products within this time. If not, you authorise us to dispose of your products with no liability on us. If we agree to store your products for longer than 8 weeks, we will advise you of the charges for storage, and you agree to pay such charges in advance. Further, you accept that during the period in excess of 8 weeks, your products may be damaged, and you accept full responsibility for such damage.

We deliver to most postal areas in the UK including Northern Ireland, however, in certain postcode areas additional charges will apply as follows:

Unfortunately, Carpetright are currently unable to deliver to any of the following areas:

BFPO addresses; Scottish Islands including Arran, Lewis, Mull, Islay, Uist, Barra, Orkney, Shetland, Lewis and Harris; Isle of Man and Isles of Scilly. Please contact your local store for details.

If you wish us to arrange for your floorcovering to be fitted, you appoint us as your agent to arrange the fitting of your product. There is a fee payable for us to act as your agent. Alternatively, you may make any other arrangements for fitting the product yourself. We will take reasonable care to identify a fitter we believe is suitable to fit the products you have purchased from us and liaise with you and the fitter to arrange a suitable date. You authorise us to enter an oral contract for fitting of your product(s) (and uplift of your current products if you have chosen this option) with independent self-employed fitters in your name and on your behalf. The contract for fitting will be under a separate agreement between you and the fitter. You must pay the fitter for the fitting services on completion of the fitting, unless the fitting is taking place on different occasions, in which case you must pay the fitter for the work completed on each occasion (for example, if a lounge, hall, and dining room carpet are fitted in months 1, 2 and 3, as part of a home refurbishment, you must pay the fitter the relevant proportion of the fitting charge upon completion of fitting each room).

If free fitting is included, the provisions (above) still apply, but we will pay the fitter on your behalf unless the terms of any free fitting are different, in which case those terms will apply instead.

We retain full responsibility for the products and services we supply, and the fitter is responsible for the standard and quality of, and any liability arising from, delivery and/or installation. Payment for the fitting is made directly to the fitter on the day your order is fitted.

The charges quoted are for the products shown on the order only. If you require additional fitting services these can be agreed with the fitter in advance and quoted for separately.

Door trimming

Doors may need to be trimmed to allow clearance depending upon the depth of your chosen floorcovering. This is not part of the fitting work unless this has been specifically agreed. Fitters may remove doors to facilitate fitting and have them ready for you or your appointed carpenter to carry out the trimming and re-hanging. If you have fire doors, external doors or non-wood doors that require trimming, this will need to be carried out by a specialist carpenter and this is not a service which Carpetright will either carry out or arrange. We are also unable to remove, or arrange the removal of, any fire doors or external doors so arrangements must be made prior to the fitting date to avoid any delays.

Uplift and disposal

If you have opted for the ‘uplift and disposal’ service, the fitter, under the contract between you and the fitter, will remove your old flooring and all offcuts and packaging from your new flooring. Even if you have paid for the service, the fitter will only carry out this work if the floorcovering is not soiled and there is no health and safety risk to the fitter in respect of the product being uplifted. Your fitter will return the flooring removed to Carpetright for disposal. If you have decided not to opt for this service, it is your responsibility to uplift your existing flooring prior to your fitters’ arrival. Your fitter will then bag up any offcuts from your new flooring and leave them for you to dispose of. If you would like to keep any offcuts, please advise your fitter upon arrival at your home.

We expect self-employed floorcoverings installers to cover the cost of travel up to a 30 mile round trip from the store to the installation address. There may be additional charges for longer distances, difficult parking restrictions or unusual requests e.g. ferry crossings. These charges will be payable to the fitter.

Appointment times and dates

Fitting appointments are estimates only and are made in good faith, but the exact arrival and duration times cannot be guaranteed due to the nature and unpredictability of the work involved. Time is not of the essence. We cannot accept liability for delayed arrival of the fitter.

Damage and scuff marks

Fitters undertake to carry out their work with reasonable skill and care, but even with the greatest care home décor may be marked or scuffed during the fitting process. New paintwork and wallpaper is especially vulnerable and should be allowed to fully dry. A minimum of two weeks is recommended. Neither Carpetright nor any fitter undertake to carry out any redecoration, except where damage has been caused by that person’s negligence.

Subfloor

Our in-home consultant and subfloor preparation

We will only carry out and take responsibility for any free survey where the product to be installed is subsequently purchased from us.

If you have asked a Carpetright in-home consultant to visit your home and check the suitability of a particular product to be supplied by us for your flooring, the survey is limited to checking what is physically visible without lifting existing floor coverings. If you would like the entire subfloor checked, it is your responsibility to lift the existing floorcoverings prior to inspection. Following inspection, we will advise of any works that may be necessary prior to the installation of your product as revealed by the survey of the subfloor. You can then decide whether you wish for a fitter recommended by us to carry out any subfloor preparation under a separate agreement between you and the fitter, or whether you wish to arrange to carry out any appropriate works yourself.

If you elect to carry out any subfloor preparation works, it is your responsibility to ensure that the works are completed to an appropriate standard in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for the product(s) used. You will need to provide the store arranging the fitting with evidence that this has been completed prior to the fitter attending to fit the floorcovering.

If we are negligent in carrying out the survey resulting in damage to the floorcovering and the product is subsequently purchased from us, we will:

• Uplift the floorcovering
• Carry out any works which would have been identified had we not been negligent; and
• Re-lay the uplifted floorcovering (unless it has been damaged whilst being uplifted, in which case it will be replaced)

Quotations and fitting

All quotations and orders are on the basis that the subfloor is suitable for fitting the flooring you have selected without additional work. It is your responsibility to ensure that this is the case. We can carry out a free home flooring survey (please see above). Any fitter recommended by us will fit the product on your subfloor as it is when he or she arrives to fit the floorcovering unless you have asked us to arrange for any works to be carried out to your subfloor. If any damage is caused to the product as a result of your subfloor being inadequate, all costs associated with remedying the subfloor and replacing any product are solely your responsibility unless we carried out a survey, please see above.

The following is only applicable where a contract has been made either:

1. over the internet; or
2. by telephone; or
3. in your home

It does NOT apply where a contract is made in a store.

In addition to your normal statutory rights, subject to certain exceptions, see below, as a consumer you also have the right to cancel the contract at any time up to fourteen days after the date your order is delivered to you, or if you have ordered more than one item and they are delivered on different dates, fourteen days after the date of the last delivery of your order. Please contact the relevant store dealing with your order to cancel.

Internet orders

If your order has not been delivered and you wish to cancel it you can do so in one of the following ways:

• Online: please contact our Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444.
• Store: contact your local store who serviced your order (local store contact details can be found on our order confirmation email).

One of the team will check the status of your order and confirm if the cancellation is possible.

Call to buy orders

If you placed your order by telephone on the “Call to Buy” line, rather than calling an individual store, please call our Telesales team on 0330 333 3444 and one of our sales team will check whether cancellation is possible.

Telephone orders and orders placed in the home

If your order was placed over the telephone directly with a store or was placed with an estimator in your home, it has not been delivered and you wish to cancel your order please contact the store who will check the status of your order and confirm if cancellation is possible. Cancellation will not be possible if the carpet has already been cut to your specific order size.

Floorcoverings

The right to cancel does NOT apply to products that are made to your specifications. This includes floor coverings, which have been cut from a roll to your specific order size. If the products are excluded from your right to cancel, we will find out whether or not they have already been cut to your specifications and if not we will accept a cancellation of your order and refund your money. If, however, the product has been prepared for you we will only accept cancellation if we may deduct a proportion of the purchase price from the refund we issue to you to cover the losses we will incur in selling your purchase as a reduced price remnant in one of our stores. We will advise you of any such charge and you may then decide whether or not you wish to cancel the order.

General

When your products have been delivered you have a reasonable opportunity to make sure that they are the products you ordered. If not you must not cut into, fit or use them (other than to check whether or not they are the right products). You must retain the packaging so that this can be reused, if possible, for their return. You will be responsible for the condition of the products and for their reasonable care whilst they are in your possession. Please contact the store from which the products were ordered within 14 days of delivery.

You are under a duty to take reasonable care of the products until the end of any cooling off period. In particular you must ensure that the products are not soiled in any way.

How to return the products

If you cancel your order and wish to return the products in accordance with your statutory right to cancel

• For floorcoverings (other than rugs) and beds we will arrange collection of the products. You must uplift any floorcovering and make it available for collection. It must not have been cut or damaged in any way. There will be a collection charge equal to the delivery charge for the product. You will still need to pay the original delivery charge for the product in addition to any collection charge, and any fitting charge under the separate agreement between you and the fitter.
• If you purchased a rug or pillow by telephoning your local store, that rug or pillow only can be returned without charge to your local Carpetright store.
• If you purchased a rug or pillow either online or by using “call to buy” then the rug or pillow must be returned either by posting it to the address shown on the despatch note or we will arrange collection at your cost. Collection of rugs or pillows costs £6.95. Rugs or pillows purchased in this way must not be returned to any store.

Any refund of the purchase price in respect of returns will be made after deducting the applicable collection charge.

After this statutory fourteen day ‘cooling off’ period, you have the protection of your statutory rights. If you are unsure of your rights, please do not hesitate to seek advice from Trading Standards or other advisory body.

If you require any help or are not satisfied after you have made your purchase, please contact us. In the first instance this should be to the store which is fulfilling or has fulfilled your order (in respect of floorcoverings). It is really important that you tell us if you are not satisfied as soon as possible to enable us to put things right for you quickly.

Floorcoverings

Please inspect the completed work with your fitter (please see the Fitting (Floorcoverings) section above for more details on the fitting process) before they leave. Your fitter should be able to address any issues which are identified.

If a problem with the fitting manifests itself after the product has been fitted, please either contact your fitter directly or in the first instance, let the store who is arranging the fitting know if there are issues.

General

If you made your purchase:

• At a shop: please contact the shop directly or call our Customer Service Team on 0330 333 3444.
