Additional Terms & Conditions – Tailor Made Items
Cancellations, Amendments, Returns & Refunds
Cancellation of any item that is made specifically for you cannot be cancelled once it has gone into production.
We do try to accommodate any changes to an original tailor made order, but this is not always possible and is directly dependant on the amount of notice we are given, when we are contacted with the changes notification in relation to the date of the order of acknowledgement email being sent for that particular order and how far the order has gone through production.
So, once payment is taken, you will need to contact us by email : loosecovers@ymail.com or telephone us on 01484 400116 so we can advise you of the position with your particular order.

Cleaning instructions
Although most of our fabrics are machine washable we will not be held responsible for any shrinkage or colour loss (due to different machines cleaning cycles etc)
If your new covers are going to be machine washed we do recommend in the first instance washing a small sample arm protector cover or a cushion cover before undertaking the remaining covers
No Whiteners No Tumble Drying
The Loose Cover Company will not accept liability for any shrinkage whatsoever. If you do wash your covers we recommend refitting whilst still damp.
Copy Cover Service
This is an extremely discounted service due to the fact we are using your old covers for a template.
Although we are copying your covers we are making them to our own “chic style” covers which gives a more modern appearance to your furniture.
If ordering copy covers please note the covers will be copied from your originals, so please make sure your originals are an adequate fit before sending them to us for copying.
We will not be held responsible for covers that do not fit due to original covers not being a good fit.
If any amendments are required please inform us on the order form.
Please note parts of your original covers will need to be taken apart in order to take the template, we cannot guarantee no damage to your old covers when being unpicked, although we do try our best.
There is a small fee of £25 per item if original covers are required back (due to time taken to carefully unpick and put back together)
If original covers are required to be returned please inform us on the order form before we commence with the order. The loose cover company accept no responsibility for returning old covers if not stated on the order form.
All covers will be piped on cushions and arm front facings. We do not top stitch our covers all our seams are overlocked to give strength and prevent fraying. Top stitched covers will be replicated to our own design using bare seams and overlocked these covers can be piped if required.
(Please state on order form if piping required) We cannot return top stitched original covers due to the work involved in taking apart and putting back together again.
By keeping to our above terms for copy covers we are able to keep offering these excellent value for money covers.
