Terms & Conditions...


At FSW Car Mats, we use cookies and similar technologies to help fswcarmats.co.uk work correctly, provide a smooth and secure shopping experience, and understand how customers use our website. This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies we may use, why we use them and how you can manage your cookie preferences at any time.

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of fswcarmats.co.uk and to orders placed with FSW Car Mats. Please read these terms carefully before placing an order. By purchasing from us, you agree to these Terms & Conditions together with the policies referred to below.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

1. About Us

FSW Car Mats is operated by Firststop Wholesalers Ltd, trading as FSW Car Mats, Company Number 10470004, registered at 154 Intake Road, Bradford, England, BD2 3NH.

You can contact us by telephone on 01274 666109, by email at hello@fswcarmats.co.uk, or through our website at fswcarmats.co.uk.

Our online store is hosted using the Shopify ecommerce platform.

2. Other Policies

These Terms & Conditions should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Delivery Policy and Returns & Refunds Policy. Where one of these policies applies specifically to a particular matter, you should also refer to that policy for further information.

3. Our Products

FSW Car Mats manufactures and supplies vehicle interior protection products including tailored car mats, van mats, boot mats, load-area mats, seat covers and related vehicle accessories.

Our products are available in a range of materials, specifications, colours and finishes depending on the selected vehicle. These may include Classic Carpet, Deluxe Carpet, 3mm Rubber and 5mm Heavy-Duty Rubber, together with different trim colours where available.

Not every material, colour, trim or other option will be available for every vehicle. The options displayed on the relevant product page when you place your order determine the specification of the product you are purchasing.

4. Tailored Car Mats & Vehicle Fitment

Many of our car and van mats are manufactured using vehicle-specific templates designed to provide a tailored fit.

Vehicle manufacturers may produce different generations, body styles, floor layouts, fixing systems and specifications under the same model name. It is therefore important that you select the correct vehicle when placing your order.

Product compatibility may depend on the vehicle manufacturer, model, generation, year, body style, number of seats, cab configuration, transmission, floor layout or other vehicle-specific characteristics.

Please check all compatibility information displayed on the product page before ordering. If you are unsure which mats are suitable for your vehicle, please contact us before placing your order.

5. Vehicle Registration Search

Where available, our vehicle registration search is provided to make finding compatible products easier.

Vehicle information may be obtained using third-party vehicle-data services. Although we aim to provide accurate vehicle identification and fitment information, some vehicles may have multiple specifications or variations.

You should therefore check that the vehicle details displayed after entering your registration correctly describe your vehicle before placing an order. If anything appears incorrect or you are unsure about the fitment, please contact us.

6. Fixings & Safe Installation

Where applicable, our tailored mats may be supplied with or designed to work with vehicle-specific fixing points. Fixing arrangements vary between manufacturers, models and vehicle generations.

Please ensure your mats are correctly positioned and secured where appropriate before driving. A driver's mat must never be positioned in a way that interferes with the accelerator, brake, clutch or any other vehicle control.

If a mat does not appear to fit or secure correctly, please stop using it and contact us.

7. Product Images & Colours

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that photographs, illustrations, colours and descriptions on our website accurately represent our products.

The appearance of colours and materials may vary slightly due to screen settings, lighting, photography, material batches and manufacturing processes. Some images showing mats fitted inside vehicles may be illustrative and intended to demonstrate the product, material, fit or features.

Minor variations that do not materially affect the product's description, quality or functionality may occur. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights where goods are faulty or not as described.

8. Prices

All prices displayed on our website are in Pounds Sterling (£). Applicable taxes will be included or displayed as required.

We may change our prices from time to time. A price change will not normally affect an order that we have already accepted.

If an obvious pricing or website error occurs, we may contact you before accepting or fulfilling the affected order. Any applicable delivery charge will be shown before you complete checkout.

9. Placing Your Order

Before submitting your order, please carefully check the vehicle make, model, year or generation, material, trim colour, quantity, billing information, delivery address and any other options you have selected.

When you submit an order, you are offering to purchase the selected goods from us. You should receive an order confirmation by email after your order has been placed.

We may contact you if further information is required before manufacturing, processing or dispatching your order.

10. Order Acceptance

We may decline or cancel an order where there is a legitimate reason to do so. This may happen if a product is unavailable, payment cannot be authorised, we cannot fulfil the selected specification, there has been an obvious pricing or product-information error, we reasonably suspect fraud or misuse, or we are unable to deliver to the address supplied.

If we cancel an order after payment has been taken, we will refund the relevant amount to you.

11. Payment

Payments made through our website are processed using Shopify Payments and any other payment methods displayed during checkout.

Payment must be successfully authorised before your order can be processed. We do not independently store complete payment-card details processed through Shopify Payments.

12. Order Processing

We aim to manufacture, process and dispatch orders as quickly as reasonably possible. The relevant delivery information applicable to your order will be displayed on our website.

If we become aware of a significant unexpected delay affecting your order, we will contact you where appropriate.

13. Delivery

We use Evri for customer deliveries.

Our standard delivery offering is FREE 2–3 Working Day UK Delivery, unless another delivery timeframe or charge is displayed on the relevant product page or during checkout.

Delivery times are estimates unless we expressly agree otherwise. Please ensure that the delivery address provided when placing your order is complete and accurate.

Where the product is eligible for return, it may be returned in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy, provided that it meets the applicable return conditions.

16. Refunds

Once your return has been received and inspected, we will notify you regarding your refund.

Where a refund is approved, it will be processed back to your original payment method. Your bank, card issuer or payment provider may require additional time before the funds appear in your account.

Where statutory cancellation rights apply, refunds will be processed within the applicable legal timeframe.

Please refer to our Returns & Refunds Policy for full details.

We may ask you to provide photographs, vehicle details or other relevant information so that we can investigate and resolve the issue.

Your statutory consumer rights apply to products that are faulty, not as described, not of satisfactory quality or not fit for purpose. Depending on the circumstances and your legal rights, an appropriate remedy may include a repair, replacement, price reduction or refund.

18. Checking Your Mats Before Use

Please check your mats carefully before using them.

You should ensure that the mats correspond to your vehicle, the driver's mat is correctly positioned, any applicable fixing points align correctly, the mats do not move excessively and no mat obstructs the pedals or other vehicle controls.
