Terms & Conditions

Important

We do not provide refunds or accept returns for made to measure products. You are responsible for the measurements you supply us, your choice of colour and your choice of blind, and as such your order will be a bespoke product made to your specifications.

Your product is unique to these specifications, and we would be unable to resell it. Therefore, you cannot return the product or request a refund (full or partial) if you mismeasure, dislike the colour or the type of blind.

It is your responsibility to read all relevant information supplied on our product pages which details everything you need to know before you place your order. Please check your measurements before ordering, take advantage of our free sample service and get in touch with us if you have any questions.

Please read these product terms and conditions carefully as they set out the terms under which DotcomBlinds makes the products available to you ("Product Terms"). You must read and agree with our terms and conditions before buying online or over the phone.

When buying goods from our website you enter an agreement with DotcomBlinds, Enterprise Way, Wickford, SS11 8DH www.DotcomBlinds.com. The agreement will be concluded when you place the order.


Our Products

The products we sell are either photographed or digitally produced and are accurately displayed on the website, however, due to different types, styles and settings of computer monitors shading and colour may appear differently to the exact colour. Due to this we strongly advise that you request a free sample before placing your order to ensure that you are happy with the colour and also quality before ordering. Whilst every attempt will be made by DotcomBlinds to ensure that the goods sold and delivered match in every respect any sample or description shown or sent to you, any minor or immaterial variation, change in colour or pattern between the sample or description and the goods delivered or any variation in colour matched headrails and bottom bars and our venetian blind slats shall not entitle you to reject the goods nor to claim any compensation for such variation or change

We often source our blinds, fabrics and components based on availability and will change manufacturers to produce our products as and when capacity has been reached in our factories, which can mean some subtle variation in the make-up of some of our blinds. These are by no means inferior products but they may not match existing blinds sold by DotcomBlinds previously. If you require a blind to match an existing installation sold by DotcomBlinds, please get in touch with your order number before ordering.

Many of the goods we sell are made according to your sizes. It is your responsibility to take the correct measurements of your window, curtain pole or track. If you are unsure about any products or how to measure please call our customer services team for help before ordering or consult the online measuring guide. You must check the product details and measurements of the goods before placing your order online or by phone and are responsible for checking the order via the email confirmation. We cannot accept returns or refund the money if you have given us incorrect measurements as we will not be able to resell the goods as they are made to measure.

Made to measure products are custom made to your precise requirements. Once made our products are suitable only to you and therefore cannot be cancelled or returned. Because of this it is extremely important that you are sure about the product that you want and also the size you require. We advise that you take advantage of our free sample service before placing an order, DotcomBlinds cannot be held responsible if you dislike the colour or the general quality of the product. We strongly recommend that you double check your order to ensure that the products ordered and measurements taken are correct. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Please note that our products are manufactured by highly skilled professionals who will be as accurate as possible within a variance of +/- 3mm. We will not replace the order if the sizes are within this tolerance limit and you will not be entitled to reject the goods.

Most fabrics are dyed and therefore each batch can vary slightly in shade. Due to colour variations between product batches we cannot guarantee shade matching for previous orders, in addition the sample despatched to you may also be slightly different in shade to the eventual order received. Due to the print design of some pattern fabrics it may be that the sample despatched does not show 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 team for further advice.

Order processing and our contract

When ordering your goods you are agreeing to a legal binding contract. According to Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, made to measure goods, e.g. blinds are excluded from this legislation and the 7 day cancellation rights do not apply.

In the event that your goods have already been made we are unable to refund your money. Telephone us as soon as possible if you wish to cancel or change an order and we can check if the order has gone into production. We strongly advise that you check the email confirmation of your order to ensure that you have placed the order correctly.

Right Size Guarantee

DotcomBlind’s Right-Size Guarantee is an insurance policy against the incorrect measurements of one blind in your order. This will cost an additional £9.99 at the checkout and only covers one blind regardless of the size of the order. It must be purchased alongside an order and can only be used for that order and it cannot be purchased retroactively. Discount codes will not apply to the Right Size Guarantee and the price of £9.99 will not be discounted.

Without Right-Size Guarantee you do not have the right to return your blinds to us if they are made to measurements specified by you that turn out to be incorrect due to your mismeasurement. Right-Size Guarantee provides you greater protection than your legal rights.

  • Right-Size Guarantee can be used on one blind from DotcomBlinds if you have made a mistake when measuring. It does not cover an entire order of multiple blinds and it can only be redeemed for a maximum of four orders per household within a 12-month period. 
  • Please notify DotcomBlinds with your new size within 10 working days of receiving the order and tell us which blind is incorrect and we will issue you with a Returns Authorisation Code. You will need to return the blind to us at DotcomBlinds, Enterprise Way, Wickford, Essex, SS11 8DH at your own cost. 
  • Please ensure you display the Returns Authorisation Code clearly on the box and please include your name and order number with the returned blind so that we can identify the package (your name and order number should be inside the box). 
  • Once your blind has been returned to us, we will remake your blind to your new measurements only. We will not change the fabric type, control option or blind type. 
  • If your new blind is significantly larger than the previous blind there will be a balance due between the original size ordered and the new blind. You will not receive a refund if the blind is to be made smaller. • If the original blind is too large, we will attempt to amend the original blind if possible instead of manufacturing a new one. 
  • Right-Size Guarantee does not cover any blind made within our stated tolerance sizes (generally +/- 2-3mm).
