1. Product Specification

1.1  We have made every effort to show as accurately as possible the appearance, details and descriptions of our products that we display on the website and in stores.  However, products supplied may differ from those shown in terms of their colour or wood grain. Our products are made from natural wood and it is to be expected that each piece will be individual in its appearance.

1.2  All measurements are approximate, however, we do make every effort to ensure they are as accurate as possible. We reserve the right to change product specifications at any time without prior notice.

1.3  We reserve the right to refuse orders where product information has been mis-published, including prices and promotions.

2. Purchase of products

2.1  You must pay by cash (in-store only), cheque, bank transfer, finance, credit or debit card at the time of your order. Please make sure that everything is correct before submitting/placing your order. You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing products which may be offered by us on our website or in our showrooms, will be correct; that the credit, charge or debit card which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost of any products. We reserve the right to obtain validation of your finance, credit or debit card details before accepting your order. When you place an order on our website we shall email you an order confirmation.

2.2  Delivery/collection shall only be arranged once we have received payment in full. A deposit may be left to secure goods but the balance of the order must be paid within 45 days. If the balance is not paid in full within 45 days, the order will be returned to stock and any deposit refunded less a £15 administration fee. If you still wish to proceed with your order after 45 days then you will be charged a storage fee of £15 per week for each items held in our warehouse.

2.3  All Sale and promotional items must be paid in full.

2.4  If you have paid in full and have not collected or arranged a delivery of your order after 3 months, then you will be charged a storage fee of £15 per week for each item stored. However, after 4 weeks, we reserve the right to cancel your order, less any fees paid.

2.5  We reserve the right to refuse an order placed by you at any time.

2.6  Prices are subject to change without notice. These changes will not affect orders that have already been placed. Prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable). Please note point 2.3 above.

2.7  Goods are subject to availability. If an item you have ordered becomes out of stock once you have submitted your order we shall notify you as soon as possible.

3. Delivery

3.1  Our standard furniture delivery charges apply to UK Mainland addresses only. However, surcharges may apply to certain geographical areas and non-standard deliveries. Please check the delivery section of www.hallowood.co.uk for more information.

3.2  If the delivery is arranged using a third party then we cannot guarantee they will call you before arrival. We aim to deliver goods on the agreed date but we cannot be held liable in any way if this is not adhered to due to factors outside our control. If we accidentally damage goods in the course of delivery, our liability for that damage is limited to the repair, replacement or refund of the damaged item upon producing the receipt. We do not pay compensation beyond these limits.

3.3  The items will generally be delivered using a large vehicle, so please be sure your property is accessible for large vehicles. If we are unable to deliver the goods due to there being no safe means of access, we reserve the right to cancel your order and refund the payments, subject to our refund and returns policy where fees will apply; or delivery may re-arranged but may be subject to a further delivery charge.

3.4  Should you not be available at the time of attempted delivery, you will be left a card with details on so that you can contact the Home Delivery Team and arrange redelivery at a cost dependant on your location. Redelivery, cancellation or return fees will also apply if we are unable to deliver the goods due to there being no safe means of access to the place of delivery.

3.5  Your product guarantee starts from the date of your delivery.

Where do we deliver We serve the UK Mainland only and are unfortunately generally unable to deliver elsewhere. We can, however, depending on the furniture deliver in Northern Ireland.

Deliveries and Payments We accept all major Credit- and Debit Cards. 

Delivery times are subject to the stock situation at any given time. Quoted delivery times are always from: a) Date of cleared payment, b) Date of us having received your full address, and phone no.

4. Cancellations & Returns

4.1  If you decide to cancel your order less than 3 working days prior to delivery return or cancellation fees may apply.

4.2  You have the right to cancel your order within 7 days from delivery (or within 14 days if purchased online or by phone). You must contact us within 7 days (or within 14 days if purchased online or by phone) from delivery with your intention to return the item. If you wish to return the goods within the 7 days (or within 14 days if purchased online or by phone), the item must be unused/unchanged and in its original packaging. We request that if you open the box to examine the product please do so without damaging the box and packaging or damaging the product in any way. Items returned under our 7-day money-back guarantee (14 days for online or telephone orders) will be subject to return fees, or you may return them at your own cost to our Warehouse. Please do not return items without prior authorisation. Goods sent back without prior returns authorisation may not be accepted.

4.3  Refund for returned goods is wholly conditional upon the above conditions being met. The refund will be authorised only after a full inspection of the returned goods by our Returns Department to check for completeness and correct product return. You will be refunded the full invoice amount, less cost of return and/or cancellation or return fees if applicable. Full Refunds are conditional.

4.4  Hallowood Limited does not take any responsibility for items returned to us that are damaged in transit. If items arrive to us damaged, we reserve the right to refuse the refund and there may be further charges. 

Refunds Refunds will be paid within 14 days of acceptance of a claim by means of a cheque or by refund to the debit/credit card used to pay for the goods.

Faulty Items In the unlikely event that goods arrive faulty, we will seek to replace the goods as soon as possible. If a fault applies to a replaceable component, a replacement component will be sent. Alternatively, you will have the possibility of a full refund.

Prices

The price applicable is the price valid at the time of ordering. We do, however, reserve the right to reject any order, if the price displayed is incorrect due to a technical - or typing error.

Product Dimensions 

Our furniture is handcrafted from natural wood timbers and accordingly, there may be slight differences in size between products of the same description. All product dimensions specified by us are approximate.

Product Variation 

While every effort is made to match all colours and finishes, wood is a natural product and there may be variations in colour, grain pattern and shade. As is common practise when crafting wooden furniture, certain degrees of filler may also be used to ensure a uniform finish.

Employees of our company must follow this policy. Contractors, consultants, partners and any other external entity are also covered. Generally, our policy refers to anyone we collaborate with or acts on our behalf and may need occasional access to data.

Policy elements

As part of our operations, we need to obtain and process information. This information includes any offline or online data that makes a person identifiable such as names, addresses and usernames etc. Our company collects this information in a transparent way and only with the full cooperation and knowledge of interested parties. Once this information is available to us, the following rules apply.

In addition to ways of handling the data, the company has direct obligations towards people to whom the data belongs. Specifically, we must:
• Let people know which of their data is collected
• Inform people about how we’ll process their data
