This website contains information about our goods which you will need to know before you place your order including descriptions of our goods, current prices (including VAT, delivery and returns policies. |
|
|
|
The information about the goods on our website constitutes an "invitation to treat" and is not a contractual offer from us which you may accept. This means that we reserve the right to correct any errors in that information without liability to you. It also means that in no circumstances will we be contractually bound to supply you with goods on the basis of any incorrect information, even if that information is repeated in your order. |
|
|

Payment |
|
|
|
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 Sage Pay (formerly Protx) secure payment processing system. |
|
|
|
We are very security conscious. We use strong SSL encryption on any pages where you enter your personal details. You may pay online or by phone using either your PayPal account, or any of the credit and debit cards shown below. All payment information is securely encrypted using state of the art SSL encryption. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note, PayPal's Account Optional service is provided by PayPal (Europe) Ltd (PayPal) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom (FSA) as an Electronic Money Institution (ELMI). |
|
|
|
When you use your credit or debit card to purchase items via PayPal Account Optional, a sum of electronic money equivalent to the amount of the purchase you are making is issued by PayPal and credited to the Rug Store’s PayPal account as payment for the goods or services you are purchasing. Your credit or debit card is therefore being used for the purchase of an amount of e-money which is in turn being used as payment for the goods or services from Rug Store. Your credit or debit card statement will therefore show PayPal as the merchant and not Rug Store from whom you are purchasing the goods or services. |
|
|
|
PayPal will not open a PayPal account for you when you use your credit or debit card with PayPal Account Optional. Your use of the PayPal system via PayPal Account Optional is a one-off transaction only. However, PayPal will retain the information you provide via Rugstore in relation to your use of PayPal Account Optional in accordance with our Privacy Policy in order to (1) enable you to use PayPal Account Optional for further one-off transactions subject to the paragraph below, (2) to enable us to monitor the use of PayPal Account Optional for risk management purposes and (3) to make it easier for you to open a PayPal account in the future. |
|
|
|
You will only be able to use PayPal via PayPal Account Optional for up to [10] transactions before PayPal will require you to open a PayPal account with PPEL to enable further use of the PayPal system via Rugstore. At that point you will be required to enter into PayPal's standard user agreement to govern the ongoing relationship with PayPal. |
|
|
|
You will be asked to provide certain information we need to enable us to process your order such as your preferred delivery address and payment details. It is your responsibility to provide us with sufficient information to process you order. We will acknowledge receipt of your order by email. This is not our acceptance of your order, but confirmation that it has been received. |
|
|
|
Payment by credit card will take approx. 10 working days for funds to clear via PayPal, please be patient. |
|
|
|

VAT (value added tax) and customs duties (if any) differ for each country. Most countries, except USA, are subject to VAT and customs duties which are the responsibility of the recipient.

|
|
Please note, whilst every effort is made to accurately reproduce the appearance of each rug we stock we can not accept any responsibility for the colour misrepresentations. Different colour display settings on computer monitors can have an effect on the appearance of colours in our rug images |
|
|
|
Rugs are soft, luxurious products and flattening of the pile will occur as a natural result of use. This may appear randomly, although areas of heavier use or where foot traffic twists and turns (for example, near stairs or in front of seating) can be especially prone. The sides of the pile appear a slightly different shade in colour to the ends and so any change in angle or direction of the pile may change the apparent colour of the rug and this may be patchy. Such changes do not alter the durability of the rug. |
|
|
|
During transportation and storage the rug may become slightly crushed and this may show as shaded bands across the rug. These will disappear as the rug settles in to its new environment and as the pile is flexed through use and vacuum cleaning. |
|
|
|
The prices payable for goods that you order as well as any applicable VAT are as set out in our website. |
|
|
|
|

Aftercare |
|
|
|
We recommend the use of an upright type cleaner with rotating brushes for cut pile rugs and carpets , and a cylinder type (suction only) cleaner for loop pile or mixed pile (e.g. cut and loop) rugs and carpets. |
|
|
|
We recommend that all rugs and carpets are professionally cleaned periodically. The frequency will depend on the level of soiling, but should be done before soiling becomes ingrained into the pile fibres. |
|
|
|
Spillages should be blotted up immediately. A proprietary carpet shampoo may be used for spot cleaning in accordance with the shampoo manufacturers’ instructions, but this should be tested before use in an inconspicuous area to ensure it will not harm the pile. Care should be taken not to scrub or agitate the pile which could cause it to lighten in colour. If in doubt, please contact us. |
