TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These terms and conditions are legally binding.

By placing an order with the website www.onlyoakfurniture.co.uk either by online or phone you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions.

We recommend you do not proceed with your purchase until you have read and agreed with these terms and conditions.

1. Product Specifications

1.1 We endeavour to display our products within the website as accurately as possible, however, there is no guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the pictures or photographs that are shown.

We and our suppliers continually develop our products and reserve the right to amend any specification of goods or products without prior notice; this may include adjustment of sizes or detailing. Please contact us by phone or through the general enquiries under “Contact Us” on our website if a small adjustment to size will make an item unusable when it arrives.

1.2 Where our furniture is made from natural wood, no two products will ever be identical and accordingly, appearances may vary.  Some woods will have varying degrees of distressing applied; this is intentional and makes each piece totally unique as intended by the craftsmen. We sell only genuine rustic designs; therefore, wood splints, Cracks, knots, nail holes, wood filling, purpose distressing, antiquating, and scratch marks are common. These are intended as part of the manufacturing process; they are not defects. Certain ranges will also have extra distressing applied to make them appear as a dulling or a rubbing effect to the waxed finish.

1.3 All our natural leather products are taken from the finest of hides and will show natural marks and scars. This is high-quality leather and accordingly may not result in uniform colour or textures.

1.4 Only Oak Furniture offers a range of furniture of which some may require self-assembly, this is to protect some items during carriage. Instructions will be provided for all items needing assembly. We will not be responsible for damage occurring during the self-assembly process.  We recommend that if you are not practically minded you take advantage of our premium assembly service, refer to para 4.1,   Please note that, items requiring assembly cannot be returned after they have been assembled.

1.5 From time to time we have a clearance section (Special Offers) on our website. Items purchased from this section may contain items from discontinued ranges or items that have been removed from their packaging. The items may have been handled therefore they may have knocks, scratches or other defects. The reduced sale price takes into consideration any or all of the defects referred to above.

2. Prices and Discounts

2.1 All prices include VAT (Value added Tax) where appropriate, at the prevailing rate and are subject to any promotional offer or discount. We will not be bound to honour any prices where we have indicated to you subsequently that the prices displayed have been displayed in error. In these cases, a full refund will be given.

2.2 We will not refund the price difference or price match once an order has been placed even if we offer a lower price or discount on the goods on our website after the order has been placed. If an order is cancelled then re-ordered to the same address than an administration charge of £50 will be charged to that same address. We cannot guarantee to be able to match all other companies. Our prices are checked daily and we will do our best to match or beat any price however not if this means we incur losses.

2.3 From time to time we can offer discounts on some of our products. These discounts are dependent on many things and therefore may vary over time. If you have been given a discount code, you must use it within 48 hours as the codes do change on a regular basis.

Please Note: Discounts will not be available when using 0% finance options. Any order placed on 0% finance will be rejected if there is a discount code applied to it.

We reserve the right to obtain validation of your credit or debit card details before accepting your order.
