2.1.12 We reserve the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific instances.
3. WET CLEANING
3.1 We do not use traditional dry-cleaning methods.
You hereby acknowledge that we do not use perchloroethylene, the solvent traditionally used by dry cleaners to clean delicate clothes and that we will use an alternative process called wet-cleaning, which is based on using water, biodegradable detergents and very specific cycles to clean your property. You hereby acknowledge that our cleaning method may not respect the care label on your item (“item” shall mean items of clothing, accessories, or bed linen).
3.2 Other cleaning methods
On specific occasions, where we think that other cleaning methods may be more appropriate, or if we do not have the appropriate equipment on site, we reserve the right to ask an external cleaning partner to clean your item with a method which could be other than wet cleaning. Such method could include the use of perchloroethylene or any other method that would provide the best outcome in the view of our partner in the particular instance. Whilst we try and minimize these occurrences to the bare minimum, each method has its benefits and we feel that we have to be pragmatic to ensure the best care is given to your items if necessary.
3.3 Care labels
It is your responsibility to ensure that all items that you send to us for cleaning have proper care labels. We do not accept responsibility for items that have missing, unreadable or removed care labels and you accept that all such items are cleaned “at owners risk”.
3.4 Stain removal
We inspect every item before returning it to you to ensure that it meets our strict quality standards. We will make every attempt to remove stains without damage to your item but it should be noted, however, that we do not guarantee the removal of any stains. In any case, the cleaning charge will apply regardless of whether the stain has been removed. Stain removal is often made easier if the stain is identified before washing and our ability to remove it will depend on several factors (including but not limited to the age of the stain, composition, previous attempts to clean, nature of the fabric and dye). It is important that you tell us if there are unusual stains and any information which could help us remove them as we can treat them before cleaning your item.

10.1 How to tell us about problems
If you have any questions or complaints about the services, please contact us within 24 hours from receiving your cleaned, altered or tailored items from us. You can contact us by telephoning our consumer service team at 04-4580204 or by writing to us at info@ledegraissage.com . Alternatively, please speak to one of our staff in-store.
10.2 If you have made a complaint
If you have made a complaint and we have responded, you must follow up our response within two weeks or we will close the complaint and you will no longer have a valid claim.
10.3 Re-cleaning policy
If you are not 100% satisfied with the quality of our services, we will re-clean and/or re-press your item free of charge if we are notified within 24 hours of collection. The item will need to be unworn, returned in the original packaging and with our tags still attached. If we suspect that the item has been worn, we reserve the right to refuse to re-clean or re-press the item. If an item is re-cleaned because a stain has not been removed in the first clean, the re-clean will be done “at owner’s risk” as we will have to use a stronger method to attempt to remove the stain, which could result in discoloration. Please note that in any case, we cannot guarantee that the stain will be removed (see clause 2.4).
11. PRICE AND PAYMENT
11.1 Where to find the price for the services.
A list of indicative prices of the basic services (which excludes VAT) are available on our website or paper price lists in store. However, we will agree a final price with you when we have inspected your item and determined the complexity of the service required. Please note that supplemental charges will apply to specific items (eg. Starch, special hangers, special fragrance and for express turnaround). We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of services advised to you are correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT
If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay
You must make an advance payment of the full price of the Services, before we start providing them. We do not accept cheque payments. For delivery orders, payment must be made using credit/debit card before the item is delivered (we do not accept cash payments for deliveries. We will ask you to register your credit/debit card details on our system (which is encrypted) so that we can take the payment at each collection.
11.5 PROMOTION CODES
Promotion codes are non-transferable and there is no cash alternative. Furthermore, they cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion code or offers, and must be redeemed by the date published, if provided.
12. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY
12.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us
In the unlikely event of damage, please inform us within 24 hours of receipt of your cleaned item from us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the order was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
12.2 If we cannot agree who is responsible for loss and damage
We will seek an independent analysis by a fabric care research laboratory (for example http://www.satra.co.uk). The fabric care research laboratory shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and its written determination shall be final and binding on you and us in the absence of manifest error or fraud. The cost of obtaining the fabric care research laboratory’s analysis shall be borne as the fabric research laboratory directs.
12.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services
12.4 When we are liable for damage to your items Any item that you wish to complain about must be returned unworn or unused with the original packaging that the item was collected in; failure to do so will invalidate any potential complaint/claim. However, we are not be responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your item that we discover while providing the services. We are not responsible for inherent weaknesses or defects in materials (for example, sun fading on curtains or color runs below armpits due to deodorant) which may result in tears or the development of small holes or stains in fabric that are not readily apparent prior to processing.
12.5 Maximum liability
Subject to clause 11.2, our liability to you arising under or in connection with this agreement, whether arising in service provision, tort (including negligence) or restitution, or for breach of statutory duty or misrepresentation shall be limited to the lesser of:
ï 10 times the price you have paid for cleaning that item; or
ï The depreciated value of the item as determined by the Fair Compensation Guidelines as provided by the Textile Services Association.
For the avoidance of doubt, we will only be liable for the damaged item. For example, if there is damage to trousers that are part of a suit, only the trousers can be subject to compensation (and not the whole suit). If any compensation is agreed then the items will not be returned but will be given to charity.
12.6 We are not liable for items cleaned at “owners risk”. The following items shall be cleaned at “owners risk”:
ï Items with no care label;
ï Leather;
ï Suedes;
ï Furs;
ï Items containing any suede, leather or fur (eg. elbow patches);
ï Suede and leather garments or accessories (including handbags and shoes);
ï Belts, buckles, buttons and hoods;
ï Any ink marks left behind by our poly-marking label system;
