This website is operated by CDS Window Furnishings, the specialist window-furnishings division of Ciao Design Studio. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Website Terms & Conditions.

About this website
This website provides general information about:
- Indoor and outdoor window furnishings
- Curtains, sheers, blinds and shutters
- Motorisation and control options
- Soft furnishings and upholstery
- Residential, commercial and trade services
- Consultation, specification and installation capabilities
Website content is general information only and is not a quotation, contract, technical specification or guarantee that a particular product is suitable or available for your project.
Project-Specific Advice
Window-furnishing recommendations depend on factors including:
- Site conditions
- Measurements
- Structure and fixing requirements
- Electrical or motorisation requirements
- Fabric and product availability
- Colour and material variation
- Installation access
- Building and project requirements
You should not rely solely on website information when selecting, ordering or installing a product. Final recommendations and specifications will be confirmed through the relevant consultation, quotation, order confirmation or project documentation.
Quotations and Contracts
Submitting an enquiry through the website does not create a contract.
A project contract is created only when the applicable quotation, scope, price and terms have been accepted in accordance with the stated acceptance requirements.
Project-specific quotations or order documents may contain additional terms regarding:
- Deposits and payment
- Site measurements
- Product selection
- Custom manufacturing
- Lead times - Installation
- Variations
- Cancellations
- Warranties
- Client-supplied information
- Access and site readiness
If there is an inconsistency between these Website Terms and an accepted project-specific agreement, the project-specific agreement will apply to that project, subject to applicable law.
Product Information and Availability
We aim to present product information accurately, but:
- Colours may vary between screens, samples and manufactured products
- Natural fabrics and materials may contain variations
- Images may show products, colours or configurations that are no longer available
- Specifications and supplier ranges may change
- Product availability and lead times are not guaranteed until confirmed
- Images may be illustrative and may not represent exact scale, colour or installation conditions
Final selections should be confirmed using current samples, technical information and written project documentation.
