A credit account can be opened, providing you have been trading for one year, and are registered for VAT, and can provide the necessary trade references. Any account opened will be after the first order is paid in full. Please email [email protected] for more details.

Once an account has been opened, terms are net cash within 30 days of date on invoice. We accept VISA, Mastercard, Delta, and Switch in-store, and Amex, Sagepay online.
- Invoice to be paid in 30 days and late payment surcharges will automatically be applied on all late payment received.
- Please note payment is due at the time of order (unless an account is held or a deposit has been agreed), and that goods remain the property of Andrews Office Furniture until paid for in full.
5 - Retention of Ownership
Property of the goods remains with the seller until full payment has been received by the seller. Until full payment is received, Andrews Office Furniture may, at any time, recover the goods, and may enter the buyer’s premises for this purpose. Nevertheless, the responsibility of the condition of goods passes to the buyer on delivery, and the buyer shall promptly affect and maintain in the joint names of the parties, insurance of the goods against loss or damage, in their full invoice price, until final payment.
6 - Guarantee
Except as herein expressly provided and as provided by law, the seller does not supply goods with the benefit of any term, warranty or condition, express or implied, as to the merchantability of the goods, or their suitability for any purpose whatsoever. As far as it is able, the seller will assign to the buyer all rights conferred on it, by any of its suppliers. Insofar as quality of materials used in goods manufactured for the seller is concerned, the seller shall have the option to repair, replace (or at its sole discretion, refund to the buyer the price of the goods, without any further liability), parts agreed by it as being defective, and which have been returned to it, carriage paid, within a minimum period of 1 year from the date of delivery to the buyer’s works.
Goods subjected to fair wear and tear, misuse, defective maintenance, alteration, or modification, are excluded from this guarantee. Goods covered are subject to single shift working only (8 hour working day). In no case shall the liability of the seller hereunder exceed that of the actual manufacturer of the particular goods or parts thereof. Any liability on the part of the seller is subject to terms of payment being met.
Any faulty furniture should be reported as soon as a fault is identified and we would then visit your office to repair, or if this is not possible, we would return to the manufacturer for repair, which can take up to 2 weeks. This applies to under-warranty or guarantee products - for products not under guarantee or warranty a charge may be made.
7 - Technical Description & Data
Such descriptions whilst given as a guide, in good faith, are subject to alteration by the seller without notice. All weights and dimensions are approximate only. All maximum load capacities stated are for evenly distributed loads only. It is the buyer’s responsibility to check dimensions at the time of ordering. In case of any size query, please call prior to ordering, as once orders are placed, and/or delivery is made, we are unable to return.
8 - Consequential Loss
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the seller’s negligence, or as herein provided, the seller shall not be liable to the buyer for any consequential loss or damage (whether for loss or profit or otherwise), costs or expenses, or their claims for consequential loss whatsoever, which arise out of, or in connection with, the supply of the goods, or their use or re-sale. Andrews Office Furniture may also cancel a delivery due to circumstances beyond our control and would not be liable to the buyer for any costs.
9 - Claims
Notification of non-delivery must be made in writing immediately at the time of delivery, and for shortages or damage, within 1 day of receipt of goods. Failing this, no claims will therefore be entertained.
