- The dimensions of Products we supply may vary from those stated in their specification due to the items being handmade, but we will endeavour to ensure that they are within a 4cm commercial tolerance of those stated.
- Any Clearance or Ex-display Products will be identified and be stated to be sold as such on the Website or in our showroom. Such Products may not necessarily be in perfect condition, so please check before you buy that they are of a satisfactory quality for their intended particular use.
- We will endeavour to match as accurately as possible the colour and texture of the fabric of your Products to the samples chosen, but variations in both the colour and texture may occur, due to slight batch variation.
- All descriptions of products are correct at the time of publication. We continually strive to improve our product range and reserve the right to amend the specification of Products without prior notice in relation to future sales.
- Occasionally we experience difficulties in supplying certain Products and fabrics and we may need to substitute them with alternatives of equal or better standard and value. We will contact you to let you know if we intend to do this and your order will be put on hold pending your acceptance of the change; an appropriate substitute may not always be possible. If you do not accept a substitute that is materially different from the Product that you originally ordered, we will cancel your order for the relevant Product and provide you with a full refund.
- Beds and Mattresses are sold separately. All bed prices shown do not include a mattress.

Deliveries
- For all orders from our Standard Range, we aim to deliver Products to your specified UK Mainland address within the estimated lead time published on our website for the individual product or communicated in writing to you at time of you placing your order and us receiving either your deposit or full payment for your order.
- Delivery lead times may be extended for Bespoke Products and Customer's Own Material Products. In all cases we will provide you with an approximate delivery estimate at the time you place your order and we shall provide you with a delivery date and window closer to the date of delivery.
- Your order will either be delivered by Button & Sprung’s own delivery team or by one of our trusted third party delivery partners.
- Prior to your delivery, either Button & Sprung’s Logistics team or the third party carrier will contact you to arrange a suitable date for the delivery of your order.
- All delivery teams operate Monday to Friday, between 8am and 6pm. Deliveries are not made on weekends and public holidays in the UK.
- In Stock, Clearance and Ex-display Products will be delivered to you within 30 days. Separate delivery charges will apply, details of which are on our website.
- If you are unable to take delivery of your Products on the delivery date agreed, please contact Button & Sprung or the delivery partner at least 48 hours before the confirmed delivery date. Failure to do so may result in administration charges.
- We will use our best endeavours to deliver your Products to you on the confirmed delivery date but if we are unable to do so we will contact you as soon as possible to arrange a new delivery date.
- We shall not have any liability to you for any delivery failures or delays that are caused by anything beyond our reasonable control.
- Deliveries of Standard and Bespoke orders to Mainland UK addresses will be subject to delivery charges which can be obtained via the postcode checker functionality on our website or we will inform you of these before or at the time that you place your order.
- If you require your order to be delivered outside the UK Mainland we may be able to arrange delivery for you. Please contact us to discuss this on 03333 201801.
- Products transported outside the UK may be subject to customs, handling, import and/or export duties, and may require licences, clearances and other consents in order for the Products to be so transported. You will be responsible for the payment of any such duties and for obtaining and maintaining any such licences, clearances and consents. We therefore recommend that you contact your local customs office or an experienced export carrier for further information before placing your order. You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the territory for which the Products are destined. We shall not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws and regulations.
Access and Damage
- Our delivery teams consist of two people who are able to deliver our products through the normal access route to a bedroom within a property, that is to say, via the communal entrance to the property or private front door, through normal height doorways and up stairs or via a lift if present. Our delivery teams are not able to deliver products through windows, via balconies or terraces and especially where lifting with straps, hoists or any form of mechanical equipment is required. We can arrange for such deliveries to be made but additional costs, specific to the individual property and circumstances, will apply.
- It is you, the Customer’s, responsibility to ensure that the product(s) ordered can be delivered to the bedroom(s) of your choice and the delivery team have sufficient space within which to work and manoeuvre the product. It is your responsibility to inform us of any access constraints and to check that there is sufficient space to allow access for the product.
- To avoid any damage to your property or any items therein during the course of delivery, it is your responsibility to ensure clear access to the relevant room(s) in advance of delivery, including keeping children and pets out of harm's way, removing any precious items and protecting floors as necessary.
- We are not responsible for the removal or movement of any furniture or other items upon delivery unless we have agreed this with you in advance.
- Please inform the delivery team when booking your delivery window if the product(s) are being delivered to a 2nd floor or above. If delivery to a higher floor without the use of a suitably large lift is requested then we will inform you whether we can deliver to that floor and whether a difficult access charge may apply.
- If our third party delivery company accidentally damages Products in the course of delivery, then our liability for that damage is limited to the repair, refund or replacement of the Products or the value thereof. Where possible, refunds will be made using the same means of payment as you used to purchase the Products. In the case of card payments, refunds will be made to the original card of purchase.
- Any damage to the Products or your property or its contents as a direct result of our delivery service must be reported to us by email within three business days of the delivery taking place. If you do not report such damage to us within this time frame then we shall not be liable to you for any such damage.
- Our delivery teams may inform you that they are willing to deliver the Products but that, in their opinion, access to the delivery address is inadequate for them to make delivery without risking causing damage to the Products or your property or its contents. In this event, if you request that our delivery team proceeds with delivery then such delivery will be at your own risk and we accept no responsibility for any damage that may occur. You will also be asked to sign a damage waiver.
- Our delivery team will unwrap and assemble all Products upon delivery and take away the packaging.
- If you request that we leave the items wrapped, then we cannot be held responsible for any damages reported which were not advised to our team at the time of delivery.
Cancellations, Amendments and Returns
- We can accept cancellations of In-stock, Clearance and Ex-Display orders at any time up to the delivery date.
- Orders of Products from our Standard Range can be amended within 7 days of placing the order, or cancelled either before delivery, or you may request a return within 14 days of delivery.
- We regret we cannot accept amendments or cancellations of Bespoke Products, that is, orders that are made specifically for you. This includes upholstered items and mattresses that have been made to order. Bespoke items are indicated as such on your order confirmation.
- Here at Button & Sprung we are happy to offer our customers a straightforward free returns policy on any order, which you are not completely satisfied with, provided the item is a Standard or In-stock. You may request a return within 100 days of delivery for Product where no individual size or finish options have been specified by you. Our free returns policy applies to our standard fabric and product collection with the exception of any made to measure, special fabrics, non-standard fabrics (i.e. fabrics not shown on this website) or, customers own fabrics where no returns are possible.
- Products must be returned to us in a reasonable and re-saleable condition and we reserve the right to make reasonable deductions from the amount refunded to you if there are signs of wear and/or damage to the Products. All returned Products will be inspected in our warehouse and if deemed to be damaged or soiled, we will charge you a fee to reflect the amount by which the value of the Products has been diminished. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
- The returns policy does not apply to goods held in storage by prior arrangement once delivered.
- If you exercise your right to cancel a Product then we will refund the price of that Product you paid to us when you placed the order, including the costs of delivery you were charged. Where possible, refunds will be made using the same means of payment that you used to purchase the relevant Products. In the case of card payments, refunds will be made to the original card of purchase. Please note that refunds are normally done within 10 working days but these can take up to 30 days due to our payment gateway provider refund policy.
- We cannot accept any compensation claims for factory delays, fabrics being out of stock or other issues outside of our reasonable control.
- If you order Products and you arrange for the Products to be shipped to a location outside the UK Mainland, you still have the right to return the Products, but it is your responsibility to arrange for and pay for the Products to be shipped back to the UK Mainland and to our nominated warehouse.
- We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order placed online, in the showroom or via telephone within 30 calendar days of the order being placed.
- If you wish to exercise your right to cancel a Product order please contact us on 03333 201801 or email us at orders@buttonandsprung.com. A convenient time will be arranged for a collection.
Customer’s Own Material
- Customer's Own Material applies to any fabric that you supply to us or which you specify and is not on our Website (‘Customer's Own Material’). We refer to any Product that, at your request, we make with a Customer's Own Material as a ‘Bespoke Product’.
- We may refuse to use any Customer's Own Material that we consider to be unsuitable.
- You agree to ensure that your Customer's Own Material is in all respects safe and suitable for application in the Product.
- We will own Customer's Own Material when we receive it; ownership of any of material which we return to you (whether unused or incorporated in the Product) will revert to you upon delivery to you.
- We may cut, work on and otherwise treat and deal with your Customer's Own Material as we consider appropriate in the course of making the Product and (unless you state in writing with your order that surplus should be returned to you) we may use or dispose of excess fabric or items as we think fit.
- It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all fabric supplied has the correct fire retardant (FR) treatment applied (if applicable) and is suitable for upholstery. We can not offer our Guardsman Protection Plan on items covered in Customer's Own Material.
Fabrics
- There may be variations, even slight, in colour or finish between fabric batches, especially with fabrics containing natural fibres. The most common variation is that of colour – although the actual variation is often almost negligible or very slight.
- Whilst we guarantee to make all items in your order from the same batch, we cannot guarantee that subsequent orders will match your original order.
- Because of the nature of the materials used, any finishes (such as stain guards) that are applied to the exterior of our Products may alter the final colour and feel of the fabric.
- We cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration caused by exposure to direct or indirect sunlight. Sunlight affects different fabrics in different ways, but sunlight, whether direct or indirect, will nevertheless always affect fabric colour. Darker fabrics are likely to discolour and fade more than light fabrics. Different fabrics, dark or light, are liable to fade or discolour at different rates.
- Wooden legs are a natural material so therefore the grain and colour may vary slightly from any depictions shown on the website. Differences in colour between leg sets of the same nominal colour may also occur due to differences between batches of the wood stains used.
Guarantee
- Our Beds and Mattresses come with a guarantee, as defined in the Guarantee section of our website, against faulty workmanship and/or faulty materials in the construction of your product. This Guarantee does not cover Clearance and Ex-display Products.
- We do not provide any guarantee for Customer's Own Material (or other items) supplied at your specification by yourself or a third party, nor in respect of any defect in Products caused by any defect in, failure of or unsuitability of any fabric or other items so supplied.
- Our Guarantee does not cover fair wear and tear, neglect, abuse or misuse of your Products (including failure to follow any Product care instructions that we provide), loss or damage (including rusting and corrosion) due to unreasonable exposure to water, damp or weather; loss or damage due to fire, smoke, explosion, lightning, sunlight, infestation by animals or boring insects, theft, accidental damage or loss or damage caused by a third party.
- The Guarantee is rendered invalid if any product or mechanism is tampered with prior to any fault being reported.
- Our Guarantee is limited to Products sold and retained in the Mainland UK and used solely for non-commercial purposes.
- Where defective Products are covered by our Guarantee, we will endeavour to repair them free of charge. If a repair is not possible you will be offered a replacement and only if a suitable replacement is not available will you be offered a refund.
- Our Guarantee may not be assigned to a third party.
- The above guarantees are in addition to, and do not affect, your statutory rights.
- If you wish to make a claim under our Guarantee, please contact us by phone on 03333 201801, or by e-mail at orders@buttonandsprung.com.
Damaged or Faulty Goods
- In the unlikely event that you receive your order in a faulty or damaged condition, please contact us the next working day either by email at orders@buttonandsprung.com or phone us on 03333 201801. This will allow us to make the necessary arrangements for collecting/repairing the damaged/faulty goods and sending you a replacement.
- If you have received your order in a faulty or damaged condition and arranged for the Products to be shipped to a location outside the UK Mainland, you still have the right to return the Products. It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the Products to be shipped back to the UK Mainland and then to our nominated warehouse.
- Our courier will make the collection and upon inspection at our warehouse a refund or replacement will be sent at our expense.
Website Purchases
- We endeavour to display as accurately as possible the colours of our Products that appear on our Website. However we cannot guarantee that your monitor will accurately reflect the colour of the Product delivered. Please ensure you receive a fabric sample of your chosen fabric prior to confirming your order.
- Our contract with you shall not be concluded until we have received your valid payment details and we have accepted the order by way of a Sales Order confirmation by return email to the email address you have given us during the online payment process.
- Every effort is made to ensure the complete accuracy of our Website however some prices or other details may change from time to time and it is possible that errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of the Product(s) you have ordered we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible. You will then be given the option of re-confirming your order at the correct price or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, then we may treat the order as cancelled and notify you of this by email. If an order for Products is cancelled and you have already paid for the Products, we will give you a full refund as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event within thirty (30) days of cancellation).
- We reserve the right to refuse any order placed by you.
