Terms of Sale
At ACME Blinds, we are committed to providing high-quality window treatments. We greatly value and appreciate your business.
Orders & Payment
- A minimum deposit of 50% is required before processing any blind order.
- The remaining balance must be paid in full before the fitting appointment can be confirmed.
- Some items, such as recovers, repairs, curtains, poles, and wallpaper, must be paid in full at the time of ordering.
Guarantee & Repairs
- All ACME Blinds products are guaranteed against manufacturing defects.
- Repairs can only be made on products originally manufactured by ACME Blinds, subject to the availability of parts and fabric.
- If an item is deemed unrepairable, any applicable repair fee will be refunded.
Order Cancellations & Changes
- Production of your order may begin on the same day it is received. As a result, cancellations or changes to specifications may not be possible unless agreed upon in writing or via email.
Blackout Blinds
- While our blackout blinds significantly reduce light, complete blackout is not guaranteed due to gaps around the edges. Curtains can be used alongside blinds for a total blackout effect.
Fitting Appointments
- Every blind is custom-made. We aim to schedule fittings within three weeks of receiving the deposit.
- Delays may occasionally occur due to unforeseen circumstances, and we appreciate your understanding.
- Customers must provide a safe working environment for fitters by ensuring the installation area is clear of pets, furniture, breakable items, and household residents.
- A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for appointment cancellations. Failure to do so may result in a charge for the missed appointment.
Warranty & Wooden Venetian Blinds
- All blinds are covered by a 12-month guarantee from the fitting date. Depending on the issue, we will determine whether to repair or replace the product.
- Wooden Venetian blinds may warp due to exposure to heat and moisture, which is a natural characteristic and not covered under warranty.
- For high-temperature areas, we recommend Faux Wood Venetian blinds, which are more resistant to humidity.
- Natural wood variations, such as knots and color differences, are inherent features and not considered defects. Painted or wrapped finishes are available to minimize these natural marks.
- If multiple blinds are being installed side by side (e.g., bay windows), please inform us during the onsite visit.
Quotations
- Quotes are valid for 30 days and do not constitute an order. Extensions may be granted at our discretion.
Delays
- If a fitting date is delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, we will notify you as soon as possible to arrange an alternative date.
- We are not liable for delays caused by third parties but will strive to minimise any inconvenience.
