Payment shall be made on the due date notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and/or that the property in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time for the payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.
3.5 Where the Seller agrees to provide credit to the Buyer, the Seller is not obliged to accept orders from any customer or buyer who has not supplied the Seller with references satisfactory to the Seller; if at any time the Seller is not satisfied as to the creditworthiness of the Buyer it may give notice to the Buyer that no further credit will be allowed to the Buyer in which event no further goods will be delivered to the Buyer other than against cash payment and all amounts owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall be immediately payable in cash.
3.6 Any deposit paid to Finsive LLC whether for standard or custom produced (bespoke) products is non-refundable.
4. Passing of Property
4.1 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then due.
4.2 Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer:
4.2.1 the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Seller’s property;
4.2.2 the Buyer shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business, but shall account to the Seller for the proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods, whether tangible or intangible, including insurance proceeds, and shall keep all such proceeds separate from any sums of money or property of the Buyer and third parties and in the case of tangible proceeds, properly stored, protected and insured;
4.2.3 provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been resold, the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Seller and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods; and
4.2.4 the Buyer accepts that the Seller may offset any debt, owed to the Seller by the Buyer, against any debt owed to the Buyer by the Seller.
4.3 The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all money owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
5. Passing of Risk
5.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at:
5.1.1 in the case of Goods to be collected at the Seller’s premises, the time when the Seller notifies the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection; or
5.1.2 in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s premises, the time of delivery or if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods.
6. Delivery
6.1 Delivery date:
The Delivery Date is approximate only and time for delivery shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed by the Seller. The Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the Delivery Date. Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated. If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or any part of them on the Delivery Date and/or fails to provide any instructions, documents, licences, consents or authorisations required to enable the Goods to be delivered on that date, the Seller shall be entitled to store or arrange for the storage of the Goods and then risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer, delivery shall be deemed to have taken place and the Buyer shall pay to the Seller all costs and expenses including storage and insurance charges arising from such failure.
Any date or period for delivery shall be considered as indicative only, although it is the Seller’s policy to try to fulfil all orders within 3 working days for stocked goods. For Make To Order goods, delivery will be as per the date agreed (also to be considered as indicative only). For printed / promotional products delivery is normally 2 – 3 weeks for UK printing and 12 – 16 weeks for goods manufactured and/or printed and/or finished in the Far East. Orders for products that are not readily available for immediate sale, will not be accepted unless agreed to by the Customer. In such a case, Finsive LLC will agree on a delivery schedule, which shall also be considered as indicative only. Said products will be sent to Customer as soon as possible when received from the manufacturer. Finsive LLC accepts no liability or responsibility for delays in the delivery caused by the manufacturer, or any other third party.
6.2 Shipping for UK destinations (Standard parcel service)
All products shipped to a UK destination (with the exception of the Channel Islands – refer to clause 6.4), will be sent via standard parcel delivery service unless otherwise specified. The carrier aims to deliver orders within 1-3 working days. It is the responsibility of the customer to seek compensation from the carrier in the event of loss or damage. Finsive LLC will provide the customer with the postage details to facilitate this. Extra cover is available but should be requested by the customer at the time of order. Should the customer request extra cover, he/she will be charged in accordance with the carriers current service price.
6.3 Shipping for UK destinations (Express delivery service)
An expedited parcel delivery service is available upon request to UK mainland destinations (with the exception of the Channel Islands – refer to clause 6.4) and some parts of the Scottish Highlands. Detailed coverage information is available upon request from Finsive LLC Customer Service team. This service normally takes between 1 and 2 working days. Although every effort will be taken to meet the stated delivery target, this service is not guaranteed and Finsive LLC accepts no responsibility for late delivery. This service is offered on the basis that deliveries will generally only be attempted between Monday 8 am and Friday 5 pm. Please note that there are no evening or weekend deliveries unless previously arranged with Finsive LLC. Orders received over the weekend or on weekdays after 2 pm GMT that have requested this service, will be treated as having been placed at the commencement of the following working day (defined as being Monday 8 am to Friday 4 pm – excluding Public and Bank Holidays).
6.4 Shipping for non-UK destinations
All products shipped to non-UK destinations (including the Channel Islands) will be despatched via an approved carrier. The service generally aims to deliver to mainland Europe within one to two working days, rolling out to as much as three to five days for more distant worldwide destinations. Note: these transit times are guidelines and not guaranteed. Prices are weight and volume-dependent.
6.5 Non-delivered parcels
Finsive LLC nominated courier service has a delivery policy of attempting delivery twice whereupon they will leave a card instructing the Customer to either arrange a re-delivery or pick up the parcel from their nearest depot or collection point. If the Customer does not collect the parcel or arrange a re-delivery, the parcel will be returned to Finsive LLC. Any charges incurred by Finsive LLC will be passed to the Customer and required to be settled before the parcel is re-despatched. The Customer will also be liable for the cost of the re-delivery
6.6 Free Shipping
Where an order is either designated as ‘Free Shipping’ or selected by the customer as ‘Free Shipping’, Finsive LLC will choose an appropriate and available shipping method whereupon the relevant shipping policy will apply as defined in these terms and conditions.
7. Acceptance
The Buyer is under a duty whenever possible to inspect the Goods on delivery or on collection as the case may be. Where the Goods cannot be examined the carriers note or such other note as appropriate shall be marked “not examined”. The Seller shall be under no liability for any damage or shortages that would be apparent on reasonable careful inspection if the terms of this clause are not complied with and, in any event, will be under no liability if a written complaint is not delivered to the Seller within 5 days of delivery detailing the alleged damage or shortage. (This does not, however, affect the customer’s statutory rights). If no notification of rejection has been received after the aforementioned 5 day period, Finsive LLC shall consider the goods to be of satisfactory quality and fit for their purpose and may decline rejection thereafter. In all cases where defects or shortages are complained of the Seller shall be under no liability in respect thereof unless an opportunity to inspect the Goods is supplied to the Seller before any use is made thereof or any alteration or modification is made thereto by the Buyer. Except in the case of custom manufactured orders, third party manufactured orders or printed umbrella orders which are subject to a 5% under or over variance on the ordered quantity (see condition 7.1), the Seller may choose to re-credit or refund the Buyer or shall make good any shortage in the Goods and where appropriate replace any goods damaged in transit as soon as it is reasonable to do so but otherwise shall be under no liability whatsoever arising from such shortage or damage. For all types of order, the Seller shall not be liable for any other consequential losses of any sort whatsoever.
7.1 Custom manufactured, third party manufactured and/or printed umbrellas.
7.1.1 Returns of custom manufactured, third party, and/or printed umbrellas will not be accepted on grounds of buyers’ remorse. Due to production variability in the process of umbrella manufacturing and printing, when fulfilling orders for custom manufactured, third party manufactured and/or printed umbrellas the Seller reserves the right to under or over ship by up to 5% of the total order quantity. It is exceptionally rare that this happens but in such circumstances, the Seller will issue a credit note and amend any invoices accordingly.
7.1.2 When the Seller provides to the Buyer a digital visual proof this is done so on the strict understanding by the Buyer that this proof is a positional guide only, providing an approximation of the placement and general colour scheme of the Buyer’s art (Client Content) relative to the size and appearance of the requested umbrella (or other items). The visual proof provided by the Seller is intended only as an approximation and not as an exact representation. The image shown on the visual proof may differ from the appearance of the eventual product actually produced. Whilst the Seller makes every effort to closely match the Buyer’s colour reference, whether Pantone, PMS, CMYK or other reference type used, the Seller does not guarantee an exact match. Depending on the method of manufacture, the printed artwork or logo may follow the natural curve of the canopy and bow slightly. For all-over canopy designs or where the print flows across two or more panels, the Buyer accepts that there may be a misalignment of up to 5 mm per panel as each canopy is sewn together by hand. Unless the Buyer chooses to purchase a pre-production printed sample then any order placed for printed umbrellas is done so on the strict understanding and agreement that whilst the Seller shall make every effort to interpret and fulfil the Buyer’s request, the Buyer accepts all risk in any variation or discrepancy.
7.1.3 When the Seller contracts with the Buyer to provide printed or custom manufactured umbrellas (or other products), the Buyer guarantees that it owns or has the necessary licenses in place in connection with all Client Content and that it shall not require the Seller to work with any Client Content which it does not own or is not licensed to use. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all costs, claims, losses, expenses and damages incurred by the Seller or for which it may be liable due to or arising directly or indirectly out of any infringement or alleged infringement of any confidential information, copyright, design right, trademark or other intellectual property right occasioned by the preparation, importation, manufacture, sale or supply of Services and/or Goods which include or incorporate any Client Content and/or have been made to the specification or special requirement of the Buyer.
7.1.4 When the Seller contracts with the Buyer to provide printed or custom manufactured umbrellas (or other products) an estimate may be given by the Seller once the Buyer has provided the Seller with sufficient information to prepare this. The Buyer may then instruct the Seller to proceed with the supply of Goods and Services and the Buyers instructions to the Seller to proceed to supply Goods and/or Services shall be deemed acceptance of these terms and conditions. If the Buyer fails to instruct the Seller to proceed within 60 days of any estimate, quote or proposal it shall be automatically deemed withdrawn by the Seller unless the Seller agrees otherwise in writing.
7.1.5 If possible the Seller will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate any request by the Buyer to vary the Goods and/or Services and if the Seller gives written notice to the Buyer agreeing to perform a variation to the design brief, Goods or Services already agreed between the parties, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically to have been amended so as to include the variation.
7.1.6 The Seller reserves the right to charge the Buyer such additional amounts as required if the Buyer requests any alterations and/or additions to the Design Brief, Specification or Services and the Seller, if it agrees to make such alterations and/or additions, shall do so at its convenience and the Buyer acknowledges that the Seller may not have the time or resources to undertake such changes immediately and any such requests by the Buyer may delay delivery.
7.1.7 Any time estimated for delivery shall be dependent on the size, content of design and accuracy and completeness of information and Client Content supplied by the Buyer. Any period for delivery shall be calculated from the time of the Seller’s acceptance of the Buyer’s order or from the Seller’s receipt of all information necessary to enable the Seller to proceed with the supply of Goods and Services (whichever shall be the later).
7.1.8 The Buyer agrees it is fully responsible for the provision of all Client Content including but not limited to any artwork or any photographs which must be supplied in fully editable Illustrator .eps, .ai or hi-res .pdf files with any fonts converted to “outline”.
7.1.9 If the Seller’s costs incurred in respect of the Goods and Services increase due to the following circumstances the Seller may at its option at any time before delivery give notice to the Buyer of an increase in the Agreement price under this Condition due to:-
i) Variation and/or alteration of instructions and/or details and/or a failure by the Buyer or its representative to provide the same;
ii) Overtime costs incurred if the delivery date does not permit sufficient time for the work to be completed during normal working hours, i.e. 9 am – 5 pm Monday – Friday.
7.1.10 The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller in connection with any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Seller as a result either directly or indirectly of the Buyer’s instructions or lack of instructions or through any failure or delay whatsoever in taking delivery of or otherwise dealing with the Goods sent by the Seller or through any other act neglect or default on the part of the Buyer, it’s servants, agents or employees.
7.1.11 The Buyer agrees that Section 32(3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or any replacement or re-enactment thereof shall not apply to the Goods sent by the Company.
8. Return Procedure
8.1 If the goods are to be rejected, the Customer shall comply with the return procedure as defined in clause 8.2, below. Finsive LLC will reject returned goods that are unsolicited from Customers that have not complied with the procedure set in clause 8.2 below.
8.2 Goods that are rejected must be returned in a saleable condition, unless faulty. In the first instance, you must inform us of your request to return for either a refund or replacement. We may send you a Return Request Form where you can provide details of the rejection and your contact details. We may then issue a Return Authorisation Number (RAN). In the event that you are returning the goods for reason of product fault and if on inspection of the goods we agree that the goods are faulty we will also refund your reasonable postage costs incurred in returning the goods to us. If you are exchanging items you will be charged for a new delivery!
You may return products to us (unless the product is bespoke or made to measure) even if the goods are not faulty but you must contact us within a “cooling off” period of 14 days of receiving the goods. The cooling-off period starts the day after you receive your order. If you paid for standard delivery when you bought the goods we will refund this if you return it. If you chose a more expensive delivery option, you’ll have to pay the difference. Once you’ve informed us that you don’t want the item you must return the item to us within 14 days. The cost of returning the goods must be borne by you – we will not pay for this. Additionally, where returned from outside of the UK, any customs duties and taxes, handling fees or import clearance fees must be paid by you.
You must package the goods to ensure that the goods arrive with us undamaged and in a saleable condition. If goods arrive damaged or unfit for resale or if the value of the goods has been reduced by your actions we may decide not to issue a refund or we may offer a partial refund. In the event that we decide not to issue a refund, we will return the goods to you at your request but you must pay for the shipping cost to return the goods to you. We reserve the right to destroy the goods if you do not pay for this within 7 days. We will pay you the refund within 14 days from when we receive the item.
9. Cancellations
9.1 Cancellations are only accepted if the Customer complies with the following cancellation procedure and before the order has been dispatched (or in the case of printed or Make To Order goods, before the Works Order has been issued). If the order has been dispatched or the Works Order issued prior to the cancellation, the return procedure as defined in clause 8 above will apply. If the procedure is not respected, the order will be considered valid and the Customer will remain liable for the full payment.
9.2 Customers may be provided with a Cancellation Reference Number (CRN). Alternatively, customers may email their cancellation request to Finsive LLC at service@finsive.com. For any order cancellation to be deemed as accepted and valid the Customer must obtain either a Cancellation Reference Number (CRN) or written acknowledgement of acceptance of the cancellation from Finsive LLC.
10. Copyrights and Other Intellectual Property
Except where otherwise expressly noted, all contents of Finsive LLC owned literature or websites, are the sole and exclusive property of Finsive LLC.
11. Law and Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions are governed and shall be interpreted in accordance with English law. Buyer and Seller agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
12. Product Descriptions
In accordance with a programme of continuous product development and improvement, the Seller reserves the right to change features and specifications without prior notice. Whilst the Seller always tries to ensure product descriptions and photographs are accurate representations of the products, there may sometimes be variations in dimensions and colours due to the manufacturing process. In addition, the Seller cannot guarantee the images displayed on customers’ computers are accurate representations of the product, particularly the colours, as these can be affected by the customers’ screen, display settings and viewing angle.
Products described as “Value”, “Budget”, “Super Budget” or other similar description are sold on the understanding that the Customer fully accepts there are limitations to the design and quality of such products and that no claim shall be accepted by Finsive LLC in respect thereof. They will generally have been designed and manufactured with cost minimisation as a major consideration. Consequently, limitations include for example that an umbrella described as a “Value” or “Budget” umbrella may not have a windproof frame or that moulded resin wood-effect handles may be prone to minor blemishes, scratches, or chips.
13. Orders and Specifications
13.1 No order submitted by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by the Seller unless accompanied by written order or official written instruction to proceed.
13.2 The specification for the Goods shall be those set out in the Seller’s sales documentation unless varied expressly in the Buyer’s order (if accepted by the Seller). The Goods will only be supplied in the minimum units (or multiples) stated in the Seller’s price list or in multiples of the sales outer as specified. Orders received for quantities other than these will be adjusted accordingly. Illustrations, photographs or descriptions whether in catalogues, brochures, price lists or other documents issued by the Seller are intended as a guide only and shall not be binding on the Seller.
13.3 The Seller reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to conform with any applicable safety or other statutory or regulatory requirements or, where the Goods are to be supplied to the Seller’s specification, which does not materially affect their quality or performance.
13.4 No order which has been accepted by the Seller may be cancelled by the Buyer except with the agreement in writing of the Seller on the terms that the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Seller as a result of cancellation.
13.5 The Seller shall not be liable for problems caused by any inaccuracies in any Client Content, information, request or materials or specification supplied by or on behalf of the Buyer or due to any failure by or on behalf of the Buyer to make any particular request or specification or to provide instructions or Client Content to the Seller.
14. Assignment
14.1 The Seller may assign the Contract or any part of it to any person, firm or company.
14.2 The Buyer shall not be entitled to assign the Contract or any part of it without the prior written consent of the Seller.
15. Defective Goods
15.1 If on delivery any of the Goods are defective in any material respect and either the Buyer lawfully refuses delivery of the defective Goods or, if they are signed for on delivery “condition and contents unknown” the Buyer gives written notice of such defect to the Seller within three business days of such delivery, the Seller shall at its option:-
15.1.1 replace the defective Goods within 90 days or as mutually agreed of receiving the Buyer’s notice; or
15.1.2 refund to the Buyer the price for the goods which are defective; but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer in respect thereof and the Buyer may not reject the Goods if delivery is not refused or notice give by the Buyer as aforesaid.

Subject thereto any Goods returned which the Seller is satisfied were supplied subject to defects of quality or condition which would not be apparent on inspection shall either be replaced free of charge or, at the Seller’s sole discretion the Seller shall refund or credit to the Buyer the price of such defective Goods but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer.
15.3 The Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any defect arising from fair wear and tear, or any wilful damage, negligence, subjection to normal conditions, failure to follow the Seller’s instructions (whether oral or in writing), misuse or alteration of the Goods without the Seller’s approval, or any other act or omission on the part of the Buyer, its employees or agents or any third party.
15.4 Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, and except where the Goods are sold under a consumer sale, all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.5 Where the Goods are sold under a consumer sale the statutory rights of the Buyer are not affected by these Conditions.
15.6 Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Seller’s negligence, or as expressly provided in these Conditions, the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer by reason of any representation, or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law or under statute, or under the express terms of the contract, for any direct or consequential loss or damage sustained by the Buyer (including without limitation loss of profit or indirect or special loss), costs, expenses or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever (and whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its servants or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods or their use or resale by the Buyer.
