Refunds, returns and alterations.
* As we are a small company offering bespoke, made to order products, we cannot accept returns or cancellations once work has begun. Please ensure all details are correct when finalising a project, or ordering a commissioned piece, and that you are happy with all design decisions. We reserve the right to charge for any changes to designs once your order has been placed, and we reserve the right to make changes to designs if required during the project.
* We endeavour to always manufacture high quality products, however mistakes can happen. Should you receive faulty or damaged goods, we will of course repair or replace the item. Please provide a detailed description in writing, with images if possible, of any areas of damage. See the products and materials section for what we deem as acceptable ‘character’ within the wood.
* In the case of faulty or damaged goods or work, we will ensure all necessary steps are taken to repar or replace goods or work, however we cannot offer any further discounts or refunds.
* Once an order has been placed, by putting down a payment, the cost of any additional requested design drawings, or requested alterations to existing drawings will be charged to the Customer
PRODUCTS, MATERIALS AND DESIGN
*Basic quotes and design work, such as 3D visualisations of work, are free. More complex design work may be charged.
* By the very nature of both the materials we use, and the type of industrial furniture we are producing, our wood could contain all of the following characterful traits: (which are expected within each piece and for which we are unable to offer any kind of discount or refund)
Bandsaw marks across the grain, Small ‘chip out’ marks from the planer, Knots/cracks/shakes, Small machining marks, Natural colour variation.
* We will not accept returns, make adjustments or alterations, or offer refunds due to issues arising from the customer's personal preference on wood grain, pattern, knots, medullary rays, colour variation or any other naturally occurring elements. Natural wood is varied and beautiful and the grain can even change in the same piece.
* These traits and tolerances will have to be allowed for unless a “book matched” design has been asked for, which will add extra costs to the quote.
* All wood species can react to exposure to sunlight, changes in temperature and humidity. We cannot be held responsible for changes in the wood due to environmental factors, once delivery has been made. In very dry settings this could decrease, leading to cracks/movement; likewise a very humid or wet environment could cause the wood to warp, and joints to separate. We make our furniture with wood movement in mind; however we can’t take responsibility should the piece react to the humidity of your own environment.
* All our work can be made to measure to fit your space, however we do not guarantee mm precision unless we are specified to do so, and some hardware such as nuts and bolts may protrude - please allow for +/- 25mm on all dimensions. (Or about 5%).
* We cannot be held responsible for customers preference to design elements that are not discussed or raised at the point of designing or ordering and will make educated assumptions based on the style of the product, and it’s functionality etc.
* For fabrics, vinyls, paint colours and any other samples, colour indications whether given by means of the provision of samples or derived from colour charts or descriptions, are necessarily approximate because of inevitable variations in the process of manufacture and reproduction.
* Any 3D visualisations or models provided are used for design and example purposes only. They are not a representation of the final design, or aesthetic of the project or piece. Roots Furniture reserves the right to make changes and alterations from the models provided to the Customer.
