Ordinarily, our Sales Team will contact you by phone or email to make sure the details of your created Order are both to your satisfaction or requires advice or guidance by our team, or you may have discussed a product(s) with our Sales team and they created a Quotation for you. Please note that it is your responsibility to check the Order is to the exact specification desired and all details are correct prior to payment. Even if your contact was by phone, we require a live email account that you can access as you will be sent an email detailing the Order with which you have 7 working days to notify Regency Chandeliers of anything which is not as expected. Specifically, the colours finish and dimensions (as well as the ability to install the item via sufficient gaps in doorways and staircases) should be carefully inspected. Regency Chandeliers cannot offer guarantees at any stage during the manufacturing process that configuration change is possible but will endeavour to do our best to accommodate any errors.
5. Final payment of the balance of your order and delivery
Once the goods are a few days from completion and due to be dispatched from the country of origin, Regency Chandeliers will contact you for the remaining balance (where applicable) including delivery charge. In most cases, a delivery date will be advised at this point.

We will endeavour to react to changes in this directive by UK Treasury by responding within a maximum of 5 working days of official notification. However, we will not be held accountable or liable in any way if this target is not achieved. For non-members product prices are listed inclusive of VAT (where applicable). For Trade members prices are initially listed excluding VAT (where applicable) and VAT is stated and calculated once the checkout process is initiated or a trade member logged in with the relevant account. VAT is calculated at the current rates and is correct at the time of entering the information onto the system. The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered inclusive of VAT, plus delivery to your chosen shipping address.
If it so happens that during the course of an order duration (contract period) the VAT value should fluctuate (increase or decrease). The contract will continue using the rates as initially understood at contract start point.

9.Collection Delivery
Please note there are several important points regarding your commitment that we strongly advise you to read the Returns policy in full before Regency Chandeliers take payment for any goods. Payment taken will automatically enter you into a contract with Regency Chandeliers under all the terms and conditions including the Returns policy as stated on this website. Ex-display/shop floor, or warehouse clearance items – Sold as Seen
From time-to-time, we may wish to sell items from our physical stock, online. This is usually known as a ‘Stock or Warehouse clearance’, ‘Ex display offers’ or other such similar terms. When we list these products on our site, we differentiate them from brand new items by using the words “ex-display” (or similar) either in the title or the description and generally (though not necessarily) offer the product at a reduced price. As an item that has been out of its protective packaging, it is likely – though not always apparent – that some minor wear and tear will be visible and cannot be avoided. These constitute the likes of hairline scratches, a minor dent or very small chips. If we believe the product has any defects or issues which are likely to be cause for concern to the buyer, we will endeavour to point them out beforehand and describe them in the description of the item and mark the cost accordingly.
Important note: All items in the section Ex-Display (or any item which mention they have been shop on the floor or warehouse marked for clearance) are ‘Sold as Seen’. The buyer accepts that refunds and returns are not possible for a product unless a major breakage or defect (above what has been described earlier) was neither pointed out prior to purchase, or potentially occurred via delivery. See also the Returns Policy.
10.Data Protection, Security & Privacy
Regency Chandeliers is seriously committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the security of any personal information received from you especially regarding payment. We strictly adhere to the requirements of the data protection legislation in the UK and have chosen to take the payment path away from our site for peace of mind and directly engage you with our trusted third party on the Global Payments payment gateway for their recognised strength in this area.
All payment transactions are securely handled by Global Payments system and at no time is our technology or staff privy to any full payment details that would deem a risk to the financial security of the User’s payment details.
By making an offer to buy a product, you specifically authorise us to transmit information (including any updated information) or to obtain information about you from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to, your debit or credit card number (though as previously stated not full details that would deem a financial security risk) or credit reports, to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to authorise individual purchase transactions.
We reserve the right to keep relevant customer details (with the notable exception of full payment details – see above) on Regency Chandeliers’ ordering system and a digital and/or paper copy of your details at our Head Office until such a time we deem it suitable to destroy them. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure all information remains confidential within the eyes of the law.
11.The purpose of this statement is to explain to you what personal information we collect and how we may use it.
11.1 When you order, we need to know your name, address, email address and card details. This allows us to process and fulfil your order. You have the option to withhold personal information that is not required for the order process. IMPORTANT: THROUGHOUT THE ONLINE PURCHASE PROCESS AT NO TIME DO REGENCY HOLD OR SEE YOUR FULL PAYMENT CARD NUMBER AND DETAILS.
11.2 AT NO TIME IS REGENCY ABLE TO VIEW YOUR PASSWORD. You are sent an automated email when you sign up the contents of which no Regency employee or person associated with the design or hosting of the website can view. Subsequently, Regency Chandeliers can enter a new password on your behalf if you instruct which will immediately be obscured from visibility as it is entered and going forward. Alternatively, the User has the option to then change the password within My Account section.
11.3 We use your personal information to notify you of your purchase and to send you updates on your products and/or requested services. We will only contact you with your consent and an opt-out option will be provided.
11.4 We do not sell, rent or exchange your personal information with any third party for commercial reasons, beyond the essential requirement for credit/debit card validation during purchase.
11.5 We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information that you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access in accordance with the UK data protection legislation. We do not collect sensitive information about you except when you specifically knowingly provide it.
11.6 We use a technology called “cookies” as part of a normal business procedure to track patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site. A cookie is an element of data that our Website sends to your browser that is then stored on your system. You can set your browser to prevent this happening. Any information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you change your browser settings.
11.7 In order to process credit/debit card transactions, the bank or card processing agency may require to verify your personal details for authorisation outside the EEA (European Economic Area). Your information will not be transferred outside the EEA for any other purpose.
12. Product Options and Descriptions Including Lead times
12.1 Lead time
Generally, our lead times are conservative estimates given by the relevant manufacturer. However, as examples: due to popular demand, peak season, or configuration changes including non-standard finishes it is possible that the lead times may require extending and it is suggested that upon order completion you call or email our Sales team to give a more accurate reflection. In many cases, it is possible that our conservative estimates mean that we would be in a position to deliver earlier than predicted.
12.2 Descriptions
Each product purchased is sold subject to its Product Description. Please be aware that many items are available in a range of finish configurations e.g. sizes and materials used. If a user does not deliberately adjust these options via the selection boxes (drop-down lists) the default configuration is automatically selected when adding to the basket. The user has a chance to review and amend this selection as the detail description appears in the final Confirmation screen before committing to purchase. It is the full responsibility of the user to ensure that the configuration in the order placed is the correct and desired options before completing the (initial deposit) purchase process and the user will be held liable for any outstanding payments after confirming for the manufacture (if applicable) and delivery of the product in the configuration ordered.
12.3 Products and specifications
The dimensions given are written for your guidance. Before ordering, please ensure that there is adequate room to take the furniture and other products through any doorways and windows, taking note of any restricted passageways, stairs and awkward turns. Great care has been taken to ensure dimensions are accurate for each product however Regency Chandeliers cannot be held liable for any inaccuracies. If you do come across something that you know to be incorrect, we would love to have the opportunity to put it right. Please email contact@regencychandeliers.co.uk mentioning the product number and the issue.
13. Colours, textures & sample swatches
With best endeavours, it is Regency Chandeliers intention to supply accurate visual representations of colours e.g. finishes and material swatches, as true to the finished product as possible. However, due to vast differences in end-user display monitors, it is almost impossible to guarantee consistent reproduction. This is further exacerbated when trying to compare using printing because of an even greater range of inconsistencies with regard to desktop printers. Great care has been taken to display original state images from manufacturers where they have been supplied, although in cases where this is not possible, we go to great lengths to ensure that the images have been adjusted by experienced staff with high-end monitors and equipment to obtain as true a likeness as possible. Regency Chandeliers cannot guarantee that any colour or texture shown on the website will accurately represent the finished article. We advise that where critical, you contact us to obtain a sample swatch prior to ordering. Simply make a note of the product number and chosen swatch and email the details to our customer service team at contact@regencychandeliers.co.uk
14. Images
Please do not rely entirely on the product images to reflect the default configuration description. From time to time Regency Chandeliers may choose to use images which we believe to be more desirable alternatives for certain products than the accurate reflection of the finishes and measurements shown. If Regency Chandeliers believes the user has reasonable grounds to claim that a website technical error occurred during the selection and purchase then Regency Chandeliers reserves the right to request all monies owed be settled whilst Regency Chandeliers technical team investigate and may or may not be refunded in part or whole subject to Regency Chandeliers conclusion. As an effort to eradicate such occurrences the User should notice that if the initial main image for the product does not reflect the default values, we will endeavour to bring it to the user’s attention within the product description so as not to deliberately misguide.
PLEASE NOTE: Regency takes all reasonable care to ensure that all details, including but not limited to: lead times, descriptions and prices of products appearing on the Website are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information, including Product Descriptions, appearing on this Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position at the exact moment you place an order. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that many of the items for sale on the site are manufactured by non-UK based companies and therefore minor English translation mistakes may occur in the presentation details and particularly descriptions of some products. We endeavour to ensure that all issues are resolved before they are live on the site, however, we kindly ask you to tolerate minor instances of errors and help report perceived mistakes to our editor by emailing their whereabouts to us. With regard to lead times, Regency Chandeliers will not be held liable for any damages, losses or in breach of contract of sale if the lead time is not accurately reflected for any reason.
14. Return Policy
Please note there are several important points which we strongly advise you read below before we take payment for any goods. By sending payment (part of full) it will mean you automatically wish to enter you into a legal binding contract with Regency Chandeliers & Interiors under all the terms and conditions including returns, cancellations and refunds policies as stated on this website. The contract will be binding upon receipt of payment by Regency Chandeliers & Interiors unless the company declares at any time by any communication method that the order has not been accepted. In which case Regency Chandelier & Interiors will refund any funds owing – please see full Terms and Conditions.
14.1 Made to order items
We hope that you are delighted with your purchase from Regency Chandeliers & Interiors. However, if you would like to return an item because it is unsuitable please be aware that many products for sale are made to order for you and therefore cannot be returned once the items have been commissioned unless it is faulty or the company has made a mistake with the order. Your statutory rights are not affected, however please be aware that UK Office of Fair Trading laws and guidelines such as the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and specifically the Distance Selling Act and the Sale of Goods Act 1979, to clarify that standard return terms DO NOT APPLY when you enter into contract for an item which is made for you.
We feel sure you can understand that it is precisely because we offer such flexibility in finish options and rare crafted goods rather than mass manufacture, that it makes a product bespoke for you alone. And for that reason, we are subsequently unable to resell such individual items in your pre-configured state.
14.2 Ready-made items
You can return ready-made items bought online to us within 14 days. Your intention to return the item must be stated in writing or by emailing us contact@regencychandeleirs.co.uk within 14 days.

15.Cancellation
15.1 Made to order items
Please be aware that many of the products are made to order for you and we start the manufacturing process almost immediately using your payment in order not to delay the lead times. Once the manufacturing process is beyond the 7th working day (your statutory rights) from your Order acceptance you are NOT able to cancel this contract and you will be liable for the full balance of the item. If you are unsure as to whether an item is being made specifically for you please ask one of our Sales advisers before ordering.

Please note that as per your statutory rights you are entitled to cancel this contract and receive a full refund no longer than 7 working days after the day on which your initial order is received with Regency Chandeliers unless delivered items are proved to be faulty or we believe Regency Chandeliers has made a mistake with the order.
16. Products faults, damage, shortages and order anomalies
Check for faults when DELIVERED.
On receipt of the goods, please note that it is your responsibility to check the goods for any faults, damage or shortages and record any problems on the delivery receipt.

Clear photographic evidence will need to be provided, showing the damage/fault and ideally any evidence of how it was likely to have been caused (tears to packaging etc).
Important note: in most cases, our delivery teams will be insistent that the items are inspected at the point of delivery before they leave – for their satisfaction of a good job as much as yours. As the customer will be signing to accept the goods are in perfect order it is much easier for any subsequent claim and speed of resolution if the delivery company is present and can witness any issues immediately and to aid the speed of resolution by immediately taking back rejected items. We understand that for larger projects it is sometimes preferable to store items until ready. However, if you choose to store the goods unopened you have a maximum of 48 hours in which to report any issues. If you find an issue regardless of packaging state that is outside the 72 hours from the delivery window, we cannot be held responsible and it will not be possible to pursue a subsequent claim. Your statutory rights are not affected.
