DELIVERY AND PAYMENT

The information below refers to orders delivered to the United Kingdom.

See the latest delivery status of your order on the roof window store order tracking web site.

1. Delivery and payment terms

We guarantee that if you place your order with us before 11 am, we'll get your goods delivered within 2-10 working days , unless we state differently in your order confirmation (certain products will have longer lead times but we will make you aware of this at time of order).

Once you have placed your order, you don’t have to worry about the safe delivery of your goods. We make sure that your order is delivered to the address you have given, thanks to our reliable logistics system and partners. Please note your order may be palletised and delivered to the kerbside.

We will always send you a written order confirmation. Please make sure that you give your correct phone number (your mobile number is best) so that we can sort things out if any problems occur. After all, we both want a hassle free delivery of your order.

If you would like to arrange a fixed delivery date, please get in touch with us and we'll see if we can help.

Please note that we always deliver with trucks: IF you live in a narrow street where a truck cannot enter, please let us know before placing an order so that we can dispatch your goods with a proper service. If you do not notify us on time, delays may occur and we will need to charge you the extra fees by the carrier.

On delivery of your order, please make sure you check the packaging. If there is any visible damage on the outside which might suggest damaged goods inside, please do not accept delivery. Instead make a note on the delivery papers acknowledging the damage and call our customer service for assistance immediately. If the damage is not noted on the delivery report, we cannot accept your subsequent claim for damages during transit.

To avoid disappointment we strongly recommend you wait until all items have been delivered before arranging installation. We cannot be held responsible for any delays or costs incurred due to late delivery by our courier partners.

Please note: We do not guarantee the delivery date and we do not accept any liability for late deliveries. In 99% of cases the above delivery period is met. If you or your roofers need your order by a particular date, please allow a few days extra when ordering.

We only deliver to an actual address. No parks or official buildings.

Our courier will not be able to ring you before the delivery arrives, so please enter a delivery address where a person of your trust can take over the goods you ordered during working hours.

2. Delivery Prices, Periods and Postcodes:

All deliveries are free of charge to the following areas: UK Mainland only (excluding Channel Islands), delivery period - 2-10 working days from placing order (unless otherwise stated on our product information or your order and delivery confirmation).

3. Payment methods

You can pay for our roof windows and other products by credit or debit card, with Klarna, PayPal or by money transfer (advance payment). Once you have selected your items just go to the checkout page of our website and select your chosen payment option. But please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding payment. Your credit or debit card will be charged immediately after payment.

Please note that on orders above £500 credit card payments will require an additional layer of security with 3D secure.

You can choose to pay using Klarna. Klarna will provide you with specific payment terms.
For further information or questions regarding your payment please visit Klarna’s website or contact Klarna’s customer service.

What does 3D secure mean?

3D secure, also referred to as 3D secure authentication or 3DS, is a fraud prevention measure that was originally launched by Visa (as Verified-by-Visa) back in 2001. It acts as an added layer of security when taking card payments. It gives your customers a secure authentication step before they can purchase shopping online; ensuring that they’re using the correct card details to help protect against card payment fraud. Alongside Visa, it is now backed and recognised by major debit and credit card issuers, including Mastercard (as Mastercard Secure Code) and American Express (as American Express SafeKey).

How does 3D secure authentication work?

You’ve probably come across 3D secure authentication before if you’ve ever paid for something online. It works so that when a you are ready to pay for our product online, you will be redirected to your debit or credit card provider’s 3D secure page on their website. On your providers' website, you’ll either be asked for a password (which you will have set up already with your bank) or will need to enter an authentication code (which will be automatically sent to your confirmed mobile phone number). After you have provided the correct details, the payment will be approved by the card provider and you will be directed back to our confirmation page. This will all be done really quickly and once back on our site, you will receive a confirmation email that the payment has been successful.

How can I sign up for Verified by Visa?

Verified by Visa is offered by banks and service providers, not by Visa directly. We suggest you contact your bank or service provider directly.

What do I do if I forget my password?

You can easily reset a password. Exactly how depends on your bank. If the Verified by Visa message box pops up on screen after you’ve entered your Visa card details, there will probably be a ‘forgotten password’ option. When you click this, you will be asked for some information you provided when you signed up. You will be able to reset your password quickly and carry on shopping.

My bank sends a code to my phone but sometimes I don’t get it. What should I do?

Take this up with your bank directly so they can look into the problem. It could be something as simple as them not having the correct number for you. Usually a quick phone call should resolve this.

 

Return & Reimbursement

See below for information about the return and reimbursement. These are the return and reimbursement policies upon which we, Altaterra Kft (sometimes referred to below as “ALTATERRA”) will process delivery and payment from you orders for products from this online shop.

1. Right of withdrawal/cancellation

You have the legal right to withdraw from/cancel the contract within fourteen (14) days without giving any reason, however; TheRoofWindowstore.co.uk provides you – as a courtesy - a total of sixty (60) days to withdraw/cancel the contract.

The withdrawal period will expire sixty (60) days after the day on which you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods that you ordered or - if the contract relates to multiple products ordered by you in one order and delivered by us separately - sixty (60) days after the day on which you (or someone you nominate) receives the last product.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, or to cancel the contract if you have a right to do so (e.g. because the products delivered to you are faulty or misdescribed), you must inform us (see contact details below) of your decision to withdraw from or to cancel the contract by an unequivocal statement of your intention to withdraw or cancel by sending an e-mail to info@theroofwindowstore.co.uk.

In order for us to identify your order, when exercising your right of withdrawal or cancellation please provide the following information:

  • Confirmation order number
  • Your name and contact details (address, phone number and e-mail address), and
  • the details of the products in respect of which you wish to withdraw from or cancel the contract.

To meet the withdrawal deadline (i.e. where you are exercising your right to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason), it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

2. Effects of withdrawal/cancellation

If you withdraw from the contract (i.e. you are exercising your right to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason), we will reimburse you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery; except that we will not reimburse you any additional delivery costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

a.fourteen (14) days after the day we receive back from you any products supplied, or

b.(if earlier) fourteen (14) days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the products, or

c.if there were no products supplied, fourteen (14) days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from the contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you cancel the contract (e.g. because the products delivered to you are faulty or misdescribed) then the effects will be the same as if you withdraw from the contract (see above), except that we will reimburse you the costs of delivery even if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us.

If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. For information about returning the products, please contact us by e-mail at info@theroofwindowstore.co.uk. You must return the products to us without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from or cancellation of this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the products before the period of sixty (60) days has expired.

If you withdraw from the contract (i.e. you are exercising your right to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason) you will have to bear the direct costs of returning the products. If you cancel the contract (e.g. because the products delivered to you are faulty or misdescribed) then we will reimburse you those costs.

In all cases, you will be liable for any diminished value of the products resulting from any handling of them other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products. We will determine such diminished value as described below.

3. Our determination of any diminished value of the products

>

In order to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the products you may handle and inspect them but must do so (i) with due care and (ii) in the same manner as you would typically be allowed to do in a shop. Any handling or inspection of the products in excess of this may result in a diminished value of the products, which we will be entitled to deduct when reimbursing the payment received from you, or to charge you. The determination of any diminished value will be made on a case-by-case basis. As part of your handling and inspection of the products as described above, you can open the box and inspect the fabrics and colours of the products with due care, provided that the opening is done without damaging the box. If the box is damaged, then that will be regarded as diminishing the value of the products. Any installation of the products is also likely to result in a diminished value of the products. We remind you that when in your possession and until returned to us, you are responsible for the products and will be liable for any damage to them.
