1.1: Products for sale

The products available for sale on the website www.entrancemattingsystems.co.uk will be the subject of an individual product sheet which, at the very least, will present the essential characteristics of the product using the information provided by the manufacturer. Owing to the made-to-measure character of the products, the photos may differ from the manufactured product according to differences in size or other criteria. Also, despite the care taken with the quality of the photographs, differences in colours between photographs on a computer screen and reality may arise but may not, under any circumstances, give rise to a refund of any kind.

1.2: Made-to-measure product

According to the options chosen, the final price of the product may vary. These made-to-measure products are manufactured specially to order for the Client and, therefore, are not stocked in advance. Furthermore, customisation is carried out under the sole responsibility of the Client and ENTRANCE MATTING SYSTEMS declines any responsibility if the measurements provided are incorrect.
