4. Delivery

4.1. Your order will be delivered to you in accordance with the terms of our Delivery and Returns Policy.

4.2. Taking into consideration the many variables in deliveries, we strongly recommend that you do not book your installer until after you have received your order in its entirety. Manufacturing times, weather, supply-demand conditions, and replacement delivery for damaged items are just some of the occurrences that may delay your order. We cannot be held liable for failure to meet scheduled installation dates due to delivery. Delivery dates are approximate and, as such, cannot be guaranteed under any circumstance.

4.3. The Products you have ordered will be your responsibility from the time of delivery. Before installation, we recommend checking each board, to ensure the product complies with the description and is satisfactory. We cannot accept any responsibility after installation for wrong sized planks, wrong grade, damaged, faulty floor boards or any other discrepancy.

4.4. Ownership of the Products you have ordered will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products under the Contract, including delivery charges.

4.5. We always liaise with our customers after they have placed an order, to arrange delivery and to ensure that someone will be on site to receive the goods. Contact will be made by telephone and/or via email. Whilst every effort will be made to deliver the goods within the date and time frame agreed, we cannot guarantee any specific times. We therefore strongly recommend that no installation specialists should be booked until after the goods have been recieved.

4.6. Your order can be stored free of charge for up to 4 weeks from the date of your order, after which there is a £8+VAT / week storage charge. After 6 months the stock will be released and we will cancel the order. 

 

5. Prices and Tax

5.1. The price shown for the Products on our site includes VAT. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

5.2. Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you confirmation of delivery.

5.3. Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will, before dispatching the Product, contact you either for confirmation that you are willing to proceed at the higher price or that you do not wish to proceed.

5.4. If we make a pricing error, we do not have to provide the Products to you at the incorrect (lower) price.

5.5. We accept payment by many different means including credit card, debit card, cheque or by bank transfer. We do not accept liability for any charges you incur from your bank for bank transfer services.

7. Bespoke Services

7.1. Standard Terms & Conditions do not apply to contracts created for bespoke services (including Versailles); these contracts do not constitute standard sales of goods contracts.

7.2. Once the payment has been received for an order, a contract is created with Wood & Beyond Ltd. and the customer accepts the Terms & Conditions of sale.

7.3. For all bespoke services it is the responsibility of the customer to provide us with the relevant planks/diagrams/drawings; no machining will be completed without written confirmation from the customer via email. The lead time quoted when placing the order is not applicable until we receive the above confirmation, and in these circumstances we reserve the right to delay delivery.

7.4. The customer must make sure that the information and materials provided are correct for their required use. Wood & Beyond cannot be held liable if these dimensions are subsequently found to be incorrect.

7.5. The statutory right of cancellation does not apply to orders which are made to measure or in any way cut or altered to the customer`s requirements. The customer cannot cancel the order even if the goods have not yet been dispatched.

7.6. If bespoke orders are faulty, we reserve the right to take corrective action in which case the worktops might have to be returned to the workshop; the customer has to organize and be responsible for the removal, and any cost of removal and/ or re-installation will be borne by the customer, regardless of the reason, even if the worktop is faulty.

7.7. Although every effort is made to deliver the bespoke items within the time-frame quoted at point of order, due to the custom manufacturing process of any goods made to order, the lead time for bespoke items may be delayed slightly; therefore we strongly recommend that all of our customers allow several extra days in the event of any unexpected delays.

At Wood and Beyond, we have inspection procedures to ensure your flooring, lvt, laminate, worktops, decking are delivered without any fault and as expected. Regrettably, on very few occasions some products may pass this sampling without complying under all the high standard criteria, we apologise for this in advance. We recommend that you check each board before installation to make sure that you have received the right product and also to check that it is not faulty or damaged. Failure to do so will affect the warranty cover. If by any small chance you discover anything is not as it should be, please do not use it and contact us as soon as possible. You can contact us via email at: info@woodandbeyond, explain the issue and attach pictures if possible. We will handle this case as a priority and in accordance with your legal rights. We will not be able to change any faulty plank or worktop if it has been fitted already.
