The Client is responsible for ensuring that all surfaces intended for the installation of curtain tracks, roller blinds, or other fixtures are structurally sound and suitable for secure fixing.

The Seller cannot accept responsibility for marks, cracking, or other damage that may occur where surfaces are substandard or have pre-existing issues, including poor-quality paint finishes, easily marked coatings, or surfaces prone to flaking or deterioration.
