All dates quoted for delivery are estimated delivery dates only and may be subject to change. Our priority is always to ensure the delivery is handled in a professional and safe manner to a high standard. Once items are accepted we will not be held responsible for any loss or damage whatsoever. Signing for items as “unchecked” is not acceptable.

Please be certain your purchase(s) will fit through doorways, upstairs etc to avoid disappointment before you buy. If you are uncertain please contact us by email info@demkousa.com or call on +1 (516) 329 9513  so we can assist you. We reserve the right to apply a restocking charge of 25% and 50% for special orders.

3. We agree to supply the goods at the site, unless it is stated otherwise overleaf.

4. We will try to fulfil our obligations under this contract within a reasonable time. However, any completion date we give is a guide only and is based upon information given by you and other information known to us at the time. We cannot be held liable for delay or failure to complete the works caused by events beyond our reasonable control. In those cases we will complete the work as soon as reasonably possible.

5. During a delivery the crew will asses the path to the designated delivery point. If the path is unsafe or if they feel it is possible the product or the customer’s property will be damaged, they will ask the customer to sign a disclaimer removing our liability.

6. Alternatively we will deliver to hallway only if the customer agrees.

7. It is the recipient’s responsibility to protect their home and its contents. Safety footwear can not be removed by the delivery crew to make a delivery, therefore floors should be covered with sheets. Pictures and ornaments etc to the delivery point, should be removed by the customer and crews are not allowed to handle customer’s property.

8. Any loose tiles, boards, slabs, fixtures and fittings will be pointed out to the customer before delivery.

9. It is also important to note that no delivery company can insure a customer’s home. If any damage is alleged it will need to be noted on the POD and claimed through the householder’s insurance who will look to mitigate any costs against our public liability policy should we be judged to be at fault.

10. If we have agreed with you to arrange for the goods to be fitted, the following applies:

V. that you have permission to use any plans or drawings you supply to us.

VI. to provide reasonable access to the room to be fitted (ladder access is not acceptable), to clear the room to provide sufficient working space for the fitter, and co-operate in reducing health and safety risks to an acceptable level.

This variance in the size is perfectly normal depending on conditions and room temperature, and as such is not considered as a fault. All sizes quoted are for the finished mattresses. Variations in the density of the foams of +/- 5% are within manufacturing limits. Demko-UK Limited reserves the right to change the specifications of any product at any time. If your mattress fails within the specified guarantee period then we will either repair or replace the faulty component. We will repair or replace any product if it develops a fault within the guarantee period. Should that specific product no longer be available we will provide an alternative product of equivalent specification.

I. Wear and tear of fabric is not covered. However, we will use our discretion to see if any valid complaint is justified.
