1. Information about us and customer services

1.1 We are Green Snow Limited and the website is operated by us trading as Net Curtains Direct. We are registered in England company number 10397630 and our registered office is at Net Curtains Direct, Units 15-17 Mortimers Industrial Estate, Ower, Southampton SO51 6AF, which is also our main trading address. Our VAT registration number is GB256874167. Green Snow Limited shall be referred throughout these Terms as “we", “us” or “our".

1.2 You can contact our Customer Services Team by email us on hello@netcurtainsdirect.com, if you have any questions about our Products or orders you have placed with us.

2. How the contract is formed between you and us

2.1 You may place an order to purchase a Product advertised for sale on the website by following the onscreen prompts after clicking on the item you are interested in. Before proceeding to the checkout you will be advised on the product page of your delivery/production/despatch time, this will vary per product. You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until the point at which you submit your order by clicking the “Place Order Now” button on the “Checkout” page.

2.2 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order and giving an order number and a summary of your order. Please ensure you read this confirmation email and notify us of any errors as soon as possible, once your order has been put into production in our workroom no amendments can be made.

2.3 If we are unable to supply you with a Product, we will inform you of this by e-mail or telephone and we will not process your order. We might be unable to supply you with a Product because that Product is not in stock or is no longer available due to unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, there is a problem with authorisation of the payment card you have provided, or because we cannot meet your requested delivery date. If you have already paid for the Product, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

3. When ordering our Products; Made to Measure

3.1 The images of the Products on the website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your device’s display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.

3.2 We therefore strongly recommend ordering a sample before making any purchase of a made to measure product.

3.3 All made to measure widths are rounded to the nearest 10cm and all drops are made to the nearest whole cm. The drop measurement is taken from the very top of the curtain to the very bottom including any fabric that is above the heading. Due to the nature of fabrics all drop sizes are approximate and have a 10mm+/- tolerance on all our made to measure orders. We endeavour to make the curtains to the widths ordered but the widths may be +/- slightly (especially if ordering a design with a scalloped hem or base lace).

3.4 If you are ordering curtains where you require a pattern match this does sometimes require extra fabric depending on the size and quantity of curtains ordered and the pattern repeat on your chosen fabric. Should this affect your order, you will be contacted before the order is cut with a revised price that you can either accept or reject. We would recommend contacting our customer service team for further information.

Express; Cut Orders

3.5 A free sample service is available for all express designs and we strongly recommend you take advantage of this service as these products are non-returnable.

3.6 Our express products are cut to your exact widths, on some occasions you may have more than ordered but never any less.

3.7 With our express products there is a tolerance of 25mm+/- this is because your order is cut to width from a roll which is only available from ‘standard drops’ only and therefore the length is not made to order. The drop measurement shown is from the very top of the curtain to the very bottom.

Ready-made

3.8 When ordering a ready-made product there is not always a sample available. Please note all ready-made items are returnable if the colour or style is not quite right. Ensure the order is in its original packaging and in a resalable condition.

3.9 Ready made products are ordered in from a main supplier and their sizes are a guide only and will have a tolerance 25mm+/- of the size on the packet. PLEASE NOTE: Colours may very per order due to dye lots, if you require ready made products for the same room/window please specify this on your order. Colour match cannot be guaranteed with ready made products.

3.10 Please refer to section10. Our cancellation, returns and refund policy applicable to all UK orders for more information regarding returns.

Measuring

3.11 Measuring your window accurately for any of products is the customers responsibility, we have put together some measuring guides to help please follow this link: https://www.netcurtainsdirect.com/how-to-measure-for-curtains-voiles-nets-blinds - Here you can find more in depth guides relating to different heading types.

3.12 When ordering on our website for both made to measure and express items:

Enter your window sizes:

Here you will be prompted to enter your window width and window drop in either cm or inches please ensure you have selected that your sizes are in: cm or inches first. You will then be asked to select your ‘Gather’ this will determine how full your curtain will be, we recommend for both net and voile 2.5x the width of your window. The ‘window drop’ will be made to this size, nothing will be added or removed to the drop. Ensure you have ready our measuring guide stated in section 3.10 to make the necessary amendments where required.

3.13 The final option with made to measure will ask you what heading you require;

Slot Top

Slot top & Bottom

(c) if we have not sent the Products to you, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the contract with us.

10.10 If you have selected an exchange for a different size/design as part of cancelling any order, we will process this as if it were a new order for Products and the provisions of these terms will apply as if you had placed a new order for a Product.
