By confirming your order of services (including any in person services such as installation) you acknowledge that Stitched’s role in providing services is limited to the arrangement of those services with a third party service provider, unless you are notified to the contrary in writing. From time to time, confirmation of an order of products or services may be made in writing (including by email), in such circumstances you will be deemed to have confirmed your order as if you had pressed the order confirmation button at the end of the checkout process.
2.3 At the point that you confirm your order, we will take payment for your order by means of your nominated payment method.
2.4 Stitched will confirm acceptance of your order by sending you an “order confirmation email”, which will make the agreement legally binding between Stitched and you. Each order placed will incorporate the Terms and shall be a new and separate contract Stitched and you.
2.5 If your order is rejected Stitched will contact you to confirm this and you will not be charged for your order, or if payment has been taken, it will be refunded in full. Stitched may reject an order for any of the following reasons:
2.5.1 If Stitched (or its suppliers) does not have or has insufficient material or fabric to fulfil your curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Product order;
2.5.2 Where Stitched cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
2.5.3 If there has been a relevant pricing or Product description error;
2.5.4 You have ordered from an island or country where we do not deliver;

If you use the Products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
3.1 The curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products (including poles, tracks and cushions) Stitched sells are digitally represented using photographs of fabrics and materials provided by its suppliers, and its own product photography. The team at Stitched works hard to ensure that the curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products it sells match the fabric photographs, product photography and samples sent to you. All digital representations are intended to be accurate, however, due to the different viewing configurations of devices used to access this imagery, the shading, texture and colour of fabrics and materials used to make Stitched’s curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products may appear different to the images displayed on the Website. We strongly advise that you request a free sample before placing your order to ensure that you are happy with the colour and fabric quality before ordering.
3.2 Stitched’s curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products, as designed by you, are also digitally represented using 3D models (over which fabric photography is rendered). The team at Stitched works hard to ensure that its curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products match the digital 3D representations designed by you on the Website or the App, however you acknowledge that there may be differences between the digital 3D designs and the curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products you purchase online through the Website and the App.
3.3 The prices displayed on the Website are subject to change and we reserve the right to change these at any time. The price you will pay is the price shown at the checkout and on your confirmation email. Prices displayed at the checkout are in GBP and are inclusive of VAT (value added tax) at the prevailing rate and in most cases delivery, save that deliveries to certain areas may be subject to additional charges after an order has been placed, e.g. Republic of Ireland and Channel Islands. We will inform you of any extra charges as soon as possible and you will have the option to cancel the order if the extra charge is not acceptable to you. On receipt of your confirmation email, please check to ensure you are comfortable that the total price of the Products ordered is correct.
3.4 In rare cases, the price quoted for a curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Product may be displayed incorrectly. Stitched will aim to rectify any such error as quickly as possible and will notify you of the correct price. Stitched is under no obligation to provide a curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Product to you at the incorrect price, even after an Order Confirmation Email has been sent.
3.5 From time to time, Stitched may offer discounts and promotions on the products it sells. Promotions are offered entirely at our discretion and in accordance with the terms communicated in the promotion. Promotion codes can only be used where the code has not expired and the order subtotal exceeds the minimum required for that promotion. Stitched frequently offers discounts to new users of £50 or 10% off their first order, in all cases (unless otherwise stated) such promotions shall be subject to a minimum cart subtotal of £250. Promotional discounts cannot be retrospectively applied to your order.
4.1 Made to measure Products are unique and made in accordance with your design or, in the event that the designs are not created by you, designs that have been approved by you (as confirmed by your order details). Once in production, a curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Product (such as a bay window pole or track) designed by or approved by you, will only be suitable for your use. Because of this it’s important that you are comfortable with your design and the details of your order (including, but not limited to, colour, texture and fullness of fabrics, product form and shape, and size and suitability of products). We advise that you take advantage of Stitched’s free sample service before placing an order. Please note; we may occasionally substitute the tracks and poles displayed on the website with alternatives of equal quality and suitability, subject to availability.
4.2 For orders placed on the Website, the curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products Stitched sells are made to measure in accordance with measurements provided by you to us through the Website. Please take care when taking your measurements. We strongly recommend using the Stitched measuring guide provided on the Website, or if this is not clear, contacting the Stitched team directly for help before ordering. For orders placed on the App, our technology will measure the size of the digital curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds or other Products you have designed in the App. The app does not measure your windows, nor does it determine how how the product you have designed will fit your windows. Please ensure that any curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds or other Products you have designed in the App will fit your windows. We recommend following the measuring guide included in the App before placing your order.
4.3 Please double-check the details of the designs in your cart before confirming your purchase. By ordering any curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Product from Stitched you confirm that you have checked that all of the details of the designs ordered (including the measurements of your window) before placing your order. Upon receipt of your order confirmation you should check your order and confirm it is correct. All Stitched curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products are made to measure. Stitched is therefore unable to resell such Products that are returned to it at full price. For details of our returns policy please refer to clause 6 for further information on Returns. Nothing in these terms affect your statutory rights.
4.4 Most fabrics and materials provided by Stitched’s suppliers are dyed and each batch can vary slightly in shade. Due to colour variations between fabric and material batches, Stitched cannot guarantee the free samples dispatched to you will match any curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds or other Products you order, nor that any new curtain, roman blind, roller blind or other Products ordered will match historic orders. Due to the print design or weave of some pattern fabrics and materials, free samples dispatched may not show the full pattern repeat, range of colours or pattern design. Fabrics and materials are cut by Stitched’s suppliers before being sent to its workshop. Stitched’s suppliers are very professional and will be as accurate as possible within a variance of +/- 3cm. In the event that a product is defective, Stitched will endeavour to repair or alter the product to your satisfaction before proceeding with any return.
4.5: Custom sizes are achieved by joining curtain “widths” (panels of around 140cm) to make up the total desired curtain or blind width. For this reason it is common for curtains to have discreet vertical joins running at intervals-however this is industry standard to any curtain/blind maker and is generally discreet-or even undetectable in the context of the finished product in-situ.
4.6: Where “blackout” is stated, please note that this defines the type of lining or fabric in question. Light leakage may still be seen around the borders of the window covering and/or occasionally in tiny stitch holes where the lining has been attached, although our makers minimise this as much as possible. This is consistent with industry standard practice.
4.7: Fabrics with a linen appearance can show an inherent casual movement, which can sometimes be interpreted as creasing. This is part of the fabric character and does not constitute a fault. If you prefer a more formal tailored look, please discuss this with the team when choosing your fabric.
4.8: Samples of patterned fabrics give an indication of the colour and pattern, however please note that they will not show the full pattern repeat. To understand how a pattern is spaced out as a wider repeat, please see our website images which show a larger fabric piece. We are unable to accept returns that relate to representation of pattern repeat by fabric samples.
5.1 Stitched’s made to measure curtains, roman blinds, roller blinds and other Products are made in workshops located in the United Kingdom. All Products are shipped directly from Stitched’s workshops.
5.2 The price for delivery is £15 which is included in the total cost of goods at the checkout stage before you place your order.

5.5 The team at Stitched does its best to secure delivery within the period quoted but shall not be liable for loss occasioned by delay in delivery whether arising from order processing, supply chain or manufacturing delays, or any other Events Outside Our Control (see clause 17). We advise you not to book any installation or fitting services that cannot be freely rescheduled by you until your order has been delivered and you have checked that there are no defects and that all parts are complete.
5.6 Bulky product deliveries will often be shipped in more than one package and that delivery times for each package may vary.
5.7 Delivery days are counted in calendar days and start from the day following that on which payment is received into Hive & Design Ltd.’s bank account (usually within 24 hours). Delivery terms do not apply during busy times of the year, such as bank holidays and the Christmas period.
6.1 Stitched has a strict no refund policy, due to the custom nature, high cost of the products and waste that would be incurred.
6.2 All Stitched products are made to measure, specific to an individual’s measurements and design preferences. These products cannot be resold and are also not subject to Consumer Protection Regulations (previously Distance Selling Regulations). You will receive an order confirmation email upon payment, please double check your measurements and specifications as after 24 hours we will be unable to cancel and refund this order.
6.3 You can cancel an order for whatever reason and receive a full refund within 24 hours of placing it. After 24 hours has passed, a cancellation and refund will not be allowed.
6.4 Stitched is not responsible for any alterations costs due to incorrect measurements input. When ordering items, a customer is given two opportunities to check that they have entered the correct information: at the time of order, and on the subsequent order confirmation, which is received by email. In cases where the need for an alteration has arisen due to incorrect customer input/unchecked confirmation details, the customer will pay for this in full. This amount will be clearly discussed and agreed with you before any alteration work begins. Please help us to reduce potential wastage of fabrics and resources by carefully checking the details of your Order Confirmation email.
6.5 Fabric samples are offered so that customers can be confident about the fabric choice that they have made. Website image representations are provided in good faith, however can be subject to perceived colour difference, depending on your screen brightness and other environmental factors which are outside of our control. For this reason we regret that customers who have declined to order fabric samples before ordering a product, will not be considered for any kind of return/refund which relates to colour or appearance of the fabric in question.
6.6 We will accept full refund / partial refund in the rare circumstance there is a significant problem with the quality of manufacture or significant faults with the fabric. Stitched orders go through rigorous quality control, this instance is very rare.
6.7 In relation to fabric only orders, we advise customers to always double check the amount of fabric required as once the fabric is cut it is deemed non-refundable/non-returnable.
