Products

All of our sofas are manufactured in the UK and are exclusive to KOUCH.
We offer Products in our ranges across Made-to-Order, Ready-Made (stocked items)
All products are subject to availability. All materials for Made-to-Order are purchased according to your choice. Stock availability, where applicable, provided on our website is an estimate and cannot be guaranteed.
Our Products are intended solely for domestic use in the UK. We give no guarantees or undertakings in respect of the use of our products for commercial or contract purposes. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you agree that we are in no way responsible for any non-domestic or commercial use of our products and that you have no rights to cancel this purchase if you are purchasing the product in a business capacity (except in accordance with clause). For any Commercial requirements, please contact customerservices@KOUCH.uk
Due to the handmade and batch manufacture process, there may be differences between samples, swatches, and manufacture – these are normal and should not be considered a design fault. With the effect that no two products are identical, and no product may exactly match any sample, including variations to products sampled on our website, or in other media.
We offer the handmade made-to-order product as stipulated on our website at any given time. We do not offer changes to any measurements or variations outside of our specifications. All our products are handcrafted; therefore, you should allow +/- 3cm tolerance on measurements provided in the product specifications.
It is your sole responsibility to choose the colour and quality of the fabrics suitable for the purpose of your order, and to take all appropriate measurements in your property to ensure that the dimensions of those Products are suitable for your intended use of them. KOUCH will not be liable for any improper use of fabrics.
All descriptions of Products are correct at the time of publication. We continually strive to improve our product range and reserve the right to amend the specification of Products without prior notice in relation to future sales.
Occasionally we experience difficulties in supplying certain Products and fabrics and we may need to substitute them with alternatives of equal or better standard and value. We will contact you to let you know if we intend to do this and your order will be put on hold pending your written acceptance of the change, an appropriate substitute may not always be possible. If you do not accept a substitute that is materially different from the Product you originally ordered, we will cancel your order for the relevant Product and provide you with a full refund.
KOUCH products are water resistant, not waterproof and should not be left outside for prolonged periods of severe and wet weather conditions. If left outside the product must be covered with a waterproof cover. KOUCH will not accept liability for any product left unprotected.

Fabrics & Feet

Fabric batches may vary and there can be slight variations between batches especially with natural fabrics. The most common variation is that of colour – although the actual variation is often almost negligible or very slight. Some fabrics are more susceptible to this than others.
Whilst we guarantee to make all items in your order from the same batch, we cannot guarantee that subsequent orders will match your original order.
We cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration caused by exposure to direct or indirect sunlight. Sunlight affects different fabrics in different ways, but sunlight, whether direct or indirect, will nevertheless always affect fabric colour. Darker fabrics, because they have further to fall, are likely to discolour and fade more. Different fabrics, dark or light are liable to fade or discolour at different rates.
We recommend that all upholstery is cleaned in situ by a professional upholstery cleaning specialist every eighteen (18) to twenty-four (24) months depending on use. We accept no responsibility for any cleaning outside of pre-advised methods. Should you proceed with a professional upholstery cleaning company and require further information on your fabric type, composition, and construction to avoid incorrect care please contact us on 01158 222333 or customerservice@KOUCH.uk.
Natural fabrics such as our Cotton and Velvets are made from natural materials and accordingly they may not be uniform in colour or texture. Due to the nature of the fabric, it is part of the fabrics characteristic to show bruising with handling and use. Other compositions such as Wool may also be susceptible to pilling with general wear. It is your responsibility to understand the characteristics of the fabric you are selecting; however we are here to help.
KOUCH products are made using water resistant fabric, this is not waterproof and pieces should not be left outside for prolonged periods of severe and wet weather conditions. If left outside the product must be covered with a waterproof cover. KOUCH will not accept liability for any product left unprotected.

We may require proof of damage from you by way of a photograph, to help us assess the damage and facilitate a repair, or in the case of inability to repair a replacement or refund upon the authorised return of the product to KOUCH. If you fail to provide such proof, this will not affect your consumer rights. If you fail to inspect your goods upon delivery and later find damage, we cannot be held responsible for such damage.
In the event you notice a fault with the products on your order within the first 6 months of successful delivery, we will make good efforts to repair your faulty goods. In failure to repair, at our discretion will offer a replacement, as per your rights explained in the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Sale of Goods Act 1979. You will need to provide proof of purchase. These terms will not be applicable if your order is exported outside of the UK. A visit will be booked and repair free of charge if KOUCH are liable.

The Products will be at your risk from the time of successful delivery whether by our own dedicated Nominated carrier or by using a third-party courier service to the United Kingdom address which we specify in our Order Confirmation to you, or the alternative address you have provided before delivery, or even in the event of your own collection/delivery to us from the time your courier has the Product(s) in their possession. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges (if any).
