Because our goods are "made to measure" the customer shall have no right to amend or cancel the order, return the goods or seek any refund of the price paid by you from GQP Ltd. This is because when GQP Ltd receives an order, the manufacturing process begins immediately and the goods are manufactured to the customers’ exact specification.

Thermal Stress: damages to glazing can occur caused by thermal stress- this is not a product fault and no responsibility of GQP Ltd. Please refer to you glazing/window manufacturer to obtain information about the risk of thermal breakage and how to reduce this risk.

Honeycomb fabrics: the lifespan of honeycomb- fabric is greatly influenced by  the type of glass and exposed UV- intensity. Single glazing or standard double glazing will reduce the lifespan of the fabric significantly as the UV intensity is much higher compared to European glass- standards. If in doubt please check with GQP Ltd before placing an order.

10. Product Description and Measurements

The products on our website are examples of the fabric or materials only -the fabrics on the website have been photographed, due to different types, styles and settings of computer monitors shading and colour can not be an exact colour. Due to this GQP Ltd does advise before placing an order to request a free sample of the fabric before ordering. Due to colour variations between product batches we cannot guarantee shade matching as most fabrics are dyed each batch can vary slightly in shade .

Due to the print design of some pattern fabrics it is not guaranteed the fabric will reflect the full range of colours or pattern design, if you are in any doubt as to the precise nature of the fabric you are advised to call our customer services for further advice. Whilst every attempt will be made by GQP Ltd to ensure that the goods sold and delivered match in every respect any sample or description shown or given or sent to the customer, any minor or immaterial variation, change in colour or pattern between the sample or description and the goods delivered shall not entitle the customer to reject the goods nor to claim any compensation for such variation or change.

Our made to measure blinds are made to the customers’ precise measurements and cannot be sent back for a refund. If the customer has ordered a product without ordering a sample first GQP Ltd can not be held responsible if the customer does not like the colour or quality of the goods ordered and no replacements or refunds will be given. All customers must check the product and measurements of the goods before placing their order and are responsible for checking the order to ensure all the order details are correct and if any amendments or cancellation is required this must be advised by email immediately.
