This site is owned by Vanfolden Limited - which trades as Sit and Sleep.

Any purchase of goods from the site www.sitandsleep.co.uk  requires the customer to consult and accept these terms and conditions. The click validating the order implies full acceptance of these terms and represents the customer's "digital signature".


Purpose

These terms and conditions are intended to define the rights and obligations of the parties in the sale of goods proposed online by Sit and Sleep for the customer.


Making a Purchase

Making a purchase for a futon sofa bed within our online store is easy.  Each product page has accompanying images & dimensions to enable an informed choice.

We accept Visa and Mastercard and American Express as well as debit cards including Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit. Your credit card will be authorised and charged at the time of ordering as we normally expect to despatch your order within 10 working days of receipt - see "Delivery Schedule" below.  We recommend making payment over the internet.

Once you have confirmed your order and delivery addresses, you will be directed to a digitally encrypted secure website as denoted by the "Golden Padlock" at the bottom right hand side of your screen.

If you prefer you can of course call us to place your order by telephone.  We can process payments by credit or debit card over the phone.  Please note we do not store your credit card details once the payment has been processed.  This complies with our PCIDSS compliance requirement to maintain a high level of security over your card data.

If you prefer to send your payment by bank transfer, please select this method from the payment options listed and we will contact you to advise our bank details and subsequently to confirm receipt of your funds and advise you of your expected delivery date.


Order Confirmation

All contractual information will be confirmed by email to the address specified by the customer during the purchasing act.

Online orders will receive an email entitled "Order Received - Pending Confirmation".  This is to indicate that we have received your order pending acceptance and processing by us. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send an email entitled "Order Confirmation". We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

Please note your payment may be referenced by your bank or credit card company as a payment to “Sit and Sleep”


Product Information

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented on www.sitandsleep.co.uk.  We or our suppliers shall not be held liable for the consequences, accidents, or special damages arising from electronic transmissions or the accuracy of transmitted information, even in cases where we were aware of the possibility of such damages. Manufacturer and brand names are only used for identification purposes. Product photos, descriptions and prices are non-contractual.


Validity Period of Offer and Prices

Our offers and prices are valid for the day the site is consulted and are subject to change without notice.


Shipping & Handling

Delivery to addresses in the UK varies according to the location and size/weight of your order. This cost is shown on the shopping basket when you checkout your order.  Please note we ship to the GB mainland.  We may be able to ship to Offshore Islands and on request will provide a cost for delivery to these locations.  We or our delivery agent will  book a delivery day with you before despatching goods as a signature is required at the time of delivery.


Delivery Schedule and Arrangements

We aim to deliver your order within 10 business days of receipt from you.  Some orders may have a longer lead time depending on the frequency of our delivery partners visiting some areas or if items are not in stock at the date your order is received.  We will always try to meet any required by delivery date if indicated by you within the "special delivery instructions" section of the order form however we do not guarantee to do so. We will keep you informed of delivery arrangements by email or by telephone.

Although a delivery date for your order may be given to you, we and our suppliers do not always have control of delivery arrangements as these are often contracted to a third-party courier. As such neither Sit and sleep, nor our suppliers can be held responsible for delivery delays, claims for non-delivery or claims for consequential loss as a result of non-delivery or delivery delay.

All orders are despatched from us with the packaging in good condition and it is very rare for parcels to be damaged in transit. However you are required to check carefully all packaging for obvious signs of transit damage at the point of delivery. Any apparent damage must be noted on the delivery company paperwork as "Damaged" at the time of signing for receipt of goods. Damage to packaging which is not noted at the time of delivery and which is subsequently found to have damaged the product inside may result in the non-acceptance of claims or the levying of a redelivery charges. The terms "Unchecked" or "Unexamined" do not have any legal standing are not acceptable terms to use in the case of damage to packaging.

We use different delivery companies/services depending on the product ordered. Our standard delivery is generally to deliver only to the ground floor entrance of the delivery address. If customers cannot manage to move the packages on their own they should make arrangements for assistance to be on hand on the day of delivery.  Depending on your geographic location, other delivery options may be offered (for example Upper Floor Delivery or 2-Person Delivery) during the checkout process.  If you have any uncertainties on delivery arrangements please contact us prior to despatch and we will be able to advise options available to you. 


Guarantee/Warranty

All products supplied are covered by at least a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. Should a problem arise during the period of warranty, please contact us with the details of the fault and original purchase. Manufacturing faults may be rectified by either the product manufacturer or by us depending on the nature of the fault. Depending on the nature of the fault reported, it may prove necessary to inspect the original product before a replacement item is provided. Occasionally, some faults or damages will be rectified by sending replacement parts or components direct to you.

We reserve the right to make minor adjustments and amendments to products under our policy of continuous product development.  As such product components may vary between production batches, and fabric shade differences may arise between differing fabric printing and dye batches.  This is relevant if you are matching an order to a previous purchase from us.  In such cuircumstances, we suggest you contact us to discuss this prior to placing an order to avoid any disappointment.
