6.3 The Customer is solely responsible for:

7.5 Payment for Flue & Accessory Orders - All orders for flue systems, flue components, and associated accessories are charged in full at the point of
checkout, regardless of stock availability. Where an order triggers a split fulfilment — meaning some items are
available for immediate dispatch and others are subject to a short replenishment lead time — the full order value
remains due and payable at checkout. No deferral of payment applies to flue or accessory orders under any
circumstances.
7.6 Stove Orders — Deposit & Balance Payment
Where a stove order includes one or more units that are not currently held in our warehouse and must be ordered
directly from the manufacturer, a non-refundable deposit of 20% of the unit price is required at checkout for each
such unit. This deposit secures your order with our supplier and confirms your commitment to the purchase.
The remaining balance of 80% per deposit unit will become payable when the stove arrives at our warehouse and
is ready for dispatch. At that point, you will receive a secure payment link by email to the address registered to
your account. Dispatch of the unit will not be authorised until the balance payment has been received in full. The
payment link will remain active for [48] hours; if payment is not received within this period, a new link will be issued
on request.
Stove units that are confirmed as in stock at the point of order are charged in full at checkout and are not subject
to deposit terms.
Cancellation of a deposit order prior to the stove being received into our warehouse will result in a full refund of the
deposit. Cancellation after warehouse receipt will be subject to restocking and handling charges at our discretion.
Please contact us before cancelling any deposit order.
8.1 Delivery Area — All deliveries are fulfilled by Opulence’s own in-house delivery team. Delivery is restricted to the Company’s defined service area, covering Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, selected areas of Norfolk, and Peterborough, as defined by the postcode zones published on the Portal. Deliveries outside this area will not ordinarily be fulfilled. In exceptional circumstances, delivery outside the defined area may be agreed in advance and in writing by the Company — additional charges will apply. Delivery will be made to the address provided at point of order. Quoted delivery dates are estimates only and do not form part of the Contract.
8.2 Third-Party Installers — The Customer must not schedule or commit to third-party installation until Goods have been received, inspected, and confirmed as correct and undamaged. The Company accepts no liability for installation delays, abortive contractor costs, or consequential losses arising from delivery timing.
8.3 Risk & Ownership — Risk in the Goods transfers to the Customer upon delivery. Title in the Goods remains with the Company until payment has been received in full.
8.4 Palletised & Large Goods Delivery — Kerbside delivery only. Drivers are not insured to enter premises or carry Goods beyond the kerbside. The Customer must:
- Provide safe, unobstructed vehicle access;
- Ensure suitable unloading facilities are available;
- Have sufficient labour on site to receive and move Goods.
8.5 Failed Deliveries — Where delivery cannot be completed due to circumstances within the Customer’s control, a re-delivery charge will apply. The minimum re-delivery charge is £40. Opulence’s in-house delivery team will contact the Customer to rearrange at the earliest opportunity.
8.6 Inspection & Damage Claims — The Customer must inspect all Goods upon delivery. Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery documentation at the point of receipt. Visibly damaged Goods should be refused. Damage claims:
- Must be reported to the Company within 48 hours of delivery;
- Will not be accepted where Goods have been signed for as received in good condition without notation of damage;
- Must be supported by photographic evidence.
8.7 Split Fulfilment & Multiple Deliveries —
Where an order contains products from multiple manufacturers, or includes items with different stock availability
positions, your order may be fulfilled across multiple separate deliveries. Each delivery will be made as soon as
the relevant items are available. You will not be charged additional delivery fees for subsequent dispatches arising
from split fulfilment on the same order.
Estimated lead times for stoves ordered from our suppliers are shown at the point of purchase and within your
order tracker in your account area. These estimates are based on manufacturer lead times current at the time of
order and may be subject to change. We will notify you of any material change to an expected delivery date via
email and your order tracker will be updated accordingly
Flue and accessory items within a split order will be dispatched at the earliest available opportunity, independently
of any associated stove order lines.
9.1 Core Products — Core Products may be returned subject to the following conditions:
- Returns must be initiated within 14 days of delivery;
- Goods must be unused, in original, undamaged packaging, and in a fully resalable condition;
- Return carriage is at the Customer’s cost, unless collection is agreed at the time of a subsequent delivery;
- The Company reserves the right to reject returns that do not meet these conditions;
- A restocking fee of up to 25% of the invoice value may be applied at the Company’s discretion.
9.2 Special Orders — Special Orders are non-refundable and non-returnable. Cancellation is not permitted once an order has been placed with the relevant supplier or manufacturer. The Customer accepts full financial responsibility for Special Orders upon placement.
10.1 The Portal operates a two-tier pricing structure:
- Tier 1 (Standard Trade) — available to all approved trade account holders from the point of registration;
- Tier 2 (Enhanced Trade) — unlocked automatically when the Customer’s rolling 12-month net spend reaches £20,000, or when a qualifying stove product is added to the basket in the same transaction.
10.2 Tier 2 pricing is conditional upon the Customer’s continued commercial alignment with the Company and ongoing satisfaction of spend thresholds. The Company reserves the right to revert any account to Tier 1 pricing where thresholds are not maintained.
10.3 The Company may adjust pricing tiers, thresholds, and discount levels at any time upon reasonable written notice to the Customer.
10.4 Pricing displayed on the Portal supersedes all previously quoted or agreed pricing unless otherwise confirmed in writing.
11.1 The Customer shall not sell Goods into territories that are restricted by the Company or by relevant manufacturer distribution agreements.
11.2 The Customer acknowledges that certain brand partners of the Company operate exclusive or selective distribution programmes, and agrees to comply with all such obligations notified by the Company.
11.3 Any breach of territorial or distribution restrictions may result in immediate account termination and withdrawal of supply without compensation.
12.1 Where Goods are purchased as a system (stove with associated twin wall flue components, liner kit, or installation package), the Company may apply adjusted bundled pricing and enforced margin structures.
12.2 Bundled pricing may differ from the aggregate of individually listed product prices. The Company reserves the right to override individual product pricing and apply system-level pricing rules.
12.3 Tier 2 pricing on flue and liner components may be unlocked by the addition of a qualifying stove to the basket, as detailed in Clause 10.
12.4 Bundle pricing is not transferable between orders and applies only to the transaction in which the qualifying combination is confirmed.
13.1 Overview — The Company operates a firewood supply programme for trade account holders who wish to offer kiln-dried, Ready to Burn certified firewood products to their customers. Trade accounts approved for the Firewood Supply Programme are entitled to participate in the Kickback Scheme as described in this Clause.
13.2 Kickback Entitlement — Subject to the conditions in this Clause, the Company shall pay a kickback of £25 per crate of qualifying firewood products sold through the Programme. Kickback entitlements are calculated on an ongoing, rolling basis as orders are fulfilled.
13.3 Settlement of Kickback Payments — Kickback amounts shall be settled by cash payment only, paid directly to the Customer’s nominated bank account. No credit note or Portal credit alternative is offered under this scheme.
13.4 Settlement Frequency — Kickback settlements will be processed on a monthly basis, subject to a minimum qualifying threshold of 5 crates per settlement period. Entitlements below this threshold will roll forward to the following period.
13.5 Illustrative Worked Example — The following table illustrates how the Kickback Scheme accumulates over a five-year period based on realistic participation assumptions. It is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute a guarantee of earnings.
Assumptions
40 new firewood customers enrolled per year | 1 crate per customer per year | Kickback rate: £25 per crate (cash) | Annual customer retention: 50% of prior year active base
| Year |
New Customers |
Retained (50%) |
Total Active |
Crates |
Annual Kickback |
Cumulative Total |
| Year 1 | 40 | 0 | 40 | 40 | £1,000 | £1,000 |
| Year 2 | 40 | 20 | 60 | 60 | £1,500 | £2,500 |
| Year 3 | 40 | 30 | 70 | 70 | £1,750 | £4,250 |
| Year 4 | 40 | 35 | 75 | 75 | £1,875 | £6,125 |
| Year 5 | 40 | 38 | 78 | 78 | £1,950 | £8,075 |
| On the assumptions above: Year 1 kickback = £1,000. By Year 5, 78 active customers generate £1,950 per year, with a five-year cumulative cash total of £8,075. Figures are illustrative only. Actual results will vary. |
13.6 Withdrawal of Kickback Rights — The Company reserves the right to withdraw, suspend, or permanently cancel a Customer’s entitlement to the Kickback Scheme in the following circumstances:
- The Customer’s trade account is suspended under Clause 5;
- The Customer’s trade account is terminated for any reason;
- The Customer is found to be in material breach of any provision of these Terms;
- The Customer is found to be misusing the Kickback Scheme, including by artificially inflating order volumes or providing false information;
- The Company discontinues the Firewood Supply Programme (with 30 days’ written notice).
13.7 Forfeiture on Termination — Upon account suspension or termination (including where such action arises from breach of these Terms), any accrued but unpaid kickback entitlements shall be forfeited in full and no payment or credit shall be issued. This forfeiture applies irrespective of the stage of the settlement cycle.
13.8 Ready to Burn Compliance — All firewood products supplied under the Programme carry Ready to Burn certification. The Customer is responsible for communicating applicable product certifications, moisture content specifications, and storage guidance to end consumers.
