The price and payment (Section 3).

1. Save as provided otherwise herein the Price shall be that as stipulated in the Seller’s published price list current at the date of order of the Products.

Notice of cancellation must be received in writing by the seller within 14 days of delivery of the notice of price increase to the buyer.
2. Payment of the Price shall be due at the date of the order unless otherwise stated. Time for payment shall be of the essence. If the Buyer does not pay the Price on notification of shipment the Seller may bring an action for the Price even though property in the Products has not been passed to the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to make payment as required the Seller may suspend delivery of the Products or any further Products ordered until payment is made in full.

Items priced in error on our website will be cancelled, refunded and the buyer informed by email.
6. Regrettably, in certain circumstances, we may not be able to process orders where payment is from a bank outside of the UK.

• 1. The quantity and description of the Products shall be set out in the Seller’s quotation.
  2. The Seller may make any changes in the specification of the Products which do not materially affect their quality or performance required to conform with any applicable statutory requirements where the Products are supplied to the Seller’s specification.
  3. Photographs are for illustrative purpose only, and may not exactly match the product itself

Warranties and liability (Section 4).

1. All goods supplied by the Seller come with a manufacturer’s warranty of at least 12 months.
2. The Seller shall provide the Buyer with such information as is required to claim under the manufacturer’s warranties. In the event of a claim, the Buyer shall in the first instance contact the Seller’s customer service department.
3. The Seller does not provide any warranty cover against defects in his own right.
4. Except where the Buyer acts as a Consumer all other warranties, conditions and terms relating to fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality or conditions of the products whether implied by statute or common law or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent of the law.
5. The Seller shall not be liable for any damage or defect arising from placement of furniture with underfloor heating and/or close to radiators and/or, similarly, in a location affected by direct sunlight/natural elements/weather for a example a conservatory or any other natural factors. The seller will not be responsible for any damage or defect arising from moving the furniture from the location it is delivered to a different location.
6. Insofar as is permitted by law, our only liability to you under these terms and conditions will be, at our sole discretion, to make good any shortage or non-delivery, to replace or repair any goods which are received by you in a damaged or defective state whichever is more financially viable for the seller or to refund to you any sums actually paid by you for the goods in question. Any damage to packaging should be noted on the delivery note. Any damage to the product must be notified within 14 days of receiving the products, in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulation.
7. Pictures will be required for any damage or concerns for us to be able to resolve. The seller is thus not responsible for any damage notified after this time. We will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem you notify to us and will have no liability to you for any failure or delay in delivering goods or any damage or defect in goods delivered which is caused by any event or circumstance which is beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in this Clause 5 affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
8. The Seller shall not be liable for any injury or accident caused whilst receiving or carrying goods/products to either the person or property or both. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
9. Please ensure as with all oiled oak products that the products are oiled within the first month of receiving and then every 6 months thereafter. If the care instructions are not followed this may affect your warranty.
10. Although our furniture has been dried naturally, and kiln dried, movement and cracking can occur. Keeping your wooden table or counter in a cool environment, with a temperature of around 72 degrees and a relative humidity of approximately 45-55%, with some air movement will help to avoid excessive warping or cracking. Vinyl table cloths and glass tops can prevent air from circulating, so it is best to avoid using these. A sudden change in temperature or humidity will cause the moisture within the wood to be affected which causes tension within the material, changing your thermostat gradually as the seasons change will help to prevent this. Excessive heat and drying can cause your wooden furniture to crack or split. Avoid leaving hot plates or water to stand on the piece for long periods of time and do not place it in direct sunlight. Small cracks appearing on the surface of wooden furniture is perfectly normal and caused by natural movement of the material, this can also cause epoxy or resin fills to lift and should not cause concern.
11. Warranty does not cover commercial use.
12. Warranty does not cover items which have been shipped off of UK mainland.
13. Please be aware it is your responsibility to check that the packaging is not damaged. In the event of damaged packaging you MUST make a note stating ‘Packaging Damaged’ when signing for the delivery. We accept no liability for damage unless this procedure is followed.
