Where there is expressed stock limitation or availability, Interiors shall supply the consumer with equivalent stock as an alternative to the advertised stock. In the event of running out of stock on the expressed stock limits, Interiors may limit the number of sale goods per consumer. However, Interiors strives to ensure that we minimise out-of-stock situations and will take all reasonable measures to make your purchased product available at the advertised price or inform you of an equivalent product option.

Where pricing on the website differs from the actual in-store pricing, the prices will remain as displayed, as it is either a website specific promotion for online purchases only or an in branch-specific promotion for branch purchase only. If a mistake is made or we display the incorrect price, we will correct this as soon as we are made aware of the incorrectly displayed price.

Goods made to order will incur additional costs and will be quoted per product and/ or service.
