10 Fabrics & Leathers
10.1 When supplying COM (fabric) or COL (leather) to Throne London, it is the client’s responsibility to ensure that all materials supplied are suitable for upholstery of furniture and the specific products selected. All fabrics or leathers supplied must be compliant with the required British Fire & Safety Regulations Act, including CRIB5 treatments for Commercial use.
10.2 Where possible, the application of an inter-liner option can be applied but will be subject to extra charges.
10.3 We will not be held liable for any delays of fabric/leather order deliveries, or costs associated due to these delays. Sales order production can only commence upon receipt of all fabrics and/or leathers required.

We will not be held liable for any costs or damages associated to delayed deliveries or damaged goods.
10.5 Fabric batches and leather hides can vary because there may be slight variations in batches. Colour is the most common variation – though the variation is often very slight or close to negligible. Some fabrics are more susceptible to colour changes than others, with leather often prone to natural scars and marking.

Also, different fabrics, whether dark or light, are likely to discolour or fade at different rates.
10.8 We cannot accept responsibility for fading or discolouration, due to contact or exposure with any chemicals applied directly or sprayed nearby. Please be aware that certain aerosol sprays, mainly odour and nicotine neutralisers, contain chemicals that may react badly with fabric dyes (these sprays should warn against using them close to upholstery without first covering it).
