Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to all goods and services you order from us. The goods we sell are generally bespoke products made to your order. To enable us to proceed with your order before the end of any cancellation rights you may have (depending on how your order) we will sometimes ask you to confirm that you are happy to be responsible for costs we incur in producing your items up to the date you may cancel it. We do this as the items we make or source for you are unlikely to be re-saleable to others.

We use the following defined terms throughout the Terms:

“Contract” means a binding contract for the supply of Goods and/or Installation formed in accordance with section 1 below.
“Goods” means the products manufactured and/or supplied by us which are the subject of your Order.
“Order” means an order made by you for the supply of Goods and/or Installation by us on an Order Form.
“Order Form” means our standard order form which may vary depending on how you place your Order with us.
“Price” means the price of the Goods and/or any applicable delivery or packaging charges.
“Regulations” means the General Product Safety Regulations 2005
“Sales Literature” means all brochures, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and websites used by us to advertise and promote the Goods.
“you” means the person ordering Goods and/or Installation from us.
“we/us/our” means Hospital Tracks, a subsidiary of Capricorn Blinds Ltd, 21 Parkgate Shopping Centre, Solihull, B90 3GG.

When we use the words “writing” or “written” in these Terms, this will include e-mail.

1. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU

1.1 You may enter into a Contract with us in the following ways:-

3. CANCELLING A CONTRACT

Your rights to cancel a Contract vary according to how you Order from us, and what type of Goods you Order.
3.1 Subject to clause 3.2, as the Goods we will be supplying to you are made-to-measure Goods and are made to your requirements, you will not be able to cancel your Order once made (but this will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to any Goods that are faulty or not as described).
3.2 If you are entitled to cancel the Contract, and wish to do so, you will be responsible to pay the reasonable fees and costs we have incurred already fulfilling our part of the Contract including loss of profit to date up to the overall value of the Order. A 're-stocking charge' may apply for returnable items, which will be charged at a % of the value of the goods, at the sellers' discretion.

4.2 For the avoidance of doubt we consider clause 4.1 to be reasonable in all the circumstances given our obligations under the Regulations. This will not affect your legal rights as a consumer in relation to any Goods that are faulty or not as described.
