 Goods not belonging to the Company   The Company shall not be held responsible or liable for any loss or damage suffered by goods belonging to the Customer or another while such goods are in the Company’s possession. Accordingly it shall be the Customer’s responsibility to obtain such insurance cover, as it requires in respect of such goods.

 Law and Jurisdiction   These Conditions and every agreement governed by them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law, and the Courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute or claim whatsoever which may arise thereout save only where the Company invokes the jurisdiction of the Courts of any other country.

 Anodised Finishes   Anodising has many significant technical problems associated with trying to achieve perfect colour, lustre and hue across batches of parts. Many factors influence the colour including alloy type, age and condition, surface finish, coating thickness, tank chemistry, jig positioning, shape geometry and also handling processes meaning that variations are inevitable.

Due to the many variables that can determine final colour, lustre and hue and the fact that many of these are beyond our control Wesley Marine Windows Ltd CANNOT and DO NOT guarantee appearance as defined by colour, lustre and hue and therefore cannot guarantee perfect colour, lustre and hue across all parts that make up our products. As a consequence Wesley Marine Windows Ltd are not able to offer a perfect colour matching service for anodised coatings.

Whilst we will try to ensure consistency across our parts with minimal variation we cannot guarantee this especially where strict deadlines are in place.

We would therefore recommend our powder coated range for customers looking for a consistent colour across all parts.
