1. The images of the Products on our site are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that your computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Products. Your Products may vary slightly from those images.
2. Although we have made every effort to be as accurate as possible, all sizes, weights, capacities, dimensions and measurements indicated on our site have a 2% tolerance, and widths of fabrics are often underestimated rather than being exact to cover any width variations in our piece lengths.
3. The packaging of the Products may vary from that shown on images on our site.
4. All Products shown on our site are subject to availability. We will inform you by e-mail as soon as possible if the Product you have ordered is not available. We will process a refund if payment has been taken, but we will not process your order further.
5. Our fabric prices sometimes change from that stated on the swatch due to supplier increase in product prices and/or items being reduced into sale.
6. Sometimes, when larger quantities are ordered, or your order has cleared our stock of a fabric, your order may be sent in more than one length to make up the quantity ordered. For example, if you order 10m, this may arrive in 2 pieces to make up the required length of 6m & 4m.
7. Where bulk/large quantities are ordered we may send your goods either processed onto rolls or double-folded onto boards. If you have a specific processing requirement, this must be stated at the time of ordering, either by separate email to customerservice@sherwoodsfabrics.co.uk, or stated in the notes section on the checkout page when placing your order.

We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing.
