Faulty Goods

The following are guidelines for all goods ordered for delivery. Wherever possible we will respond to your individual circumstances.

1. On the rare occasion where an item is damaged in transit, we will, of course, offer to replace the damaged item immediately. Should you wish to return rather than replace the damaged item then all costs pertaining to the return of goods delivered (as stated above) will apply. If there is a fault or other defect with your order we will normally offer a replacement or repair service as long as the goods are checked within 72 hours of delivery. Failure to check the goods delivered within 72 hours will result in Oceans Outdoor Furniture being unable to exchange or refund your goods. In all cases we reserve the right to inspect the product and verify the fault. In order to do this, Oceans Outdoor Furniture requires images of the product to be sent to us either by post or via email to customerservices@oceansint.com quoting your order number. This ensures that our Quality Control Department has adequate information regarding the fault prior to our collecting and replacing the furniture. We will not agree to a replacement or refund without images first being seen.
2. To qualify for a refund or exchange the product must be:
2.1 in otherwise as new condition.
2.2 complete with any accessories and free gifts offered with it.
2.3 with the original box and packaging (where installation has not been carried out by Oceans Outdoor Furniture Delivery crew).
   
3. You can either return the product to our showroom or phone our Customer Services Department on 01295 221160 to arrange a collection. Customer Services is open from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday. Any refund due to a manufacturing fault or other manufacturing defect will include a refund of the applicable delivery charge. In these cases we will also pay for our costs of collecting goods if they are not taken into a store.
   
4. Replacement goods are sent by standard delivery only, premium services are not available. If a fault occurs while you are abroad, please contact us after you return to the UK.
   
5. This promise does not cover faults caused by accident, neglect, misuse, normal wear and tear (including weather damage) or glass magnification.
   
6. Conditions of Collection
Collection of the goods will only take place from the delivery address to which they were delivered and will be subject to the following conditions:
   
6.1 you agree to provide Oceans Outdoor Furniture with as much detail as possible of relevant features of the delivery address (for instance, in the case of a 2 man truck delivery team collection, which floor the items are to be collected from; whether there are any narrow doors etc) in order to help our representative prepare for the collection;
6.2 you agree to ensure that there is suitable access to the chosen collection location;
6.3 if collection cannot be made from your chosen location due to the nature of the premises, because there is insufficient access or for any other reason that is not within our reasonable control, including your absence at the time of collection, you agree to pay our reasonable additional collection fees and the costs of re-arranging collection;
6.4 if our representative reasonably considers that collection from the room of your choice (or garden) is likely to cause damage to the goods or to your property, they will inform you and record this concern on the collection document. You may instruct our representative to collect the goods in spite of such concern but we will not be liable for any damage caused to your property or to the goods as a consequence of us attempting collection on your instructions (provided that reasonable care is taken in collecting the goods);
6.5 you agree to give our representative all goods which are being returned, including all component parts of such goods and all related items or accessories (including original packaging) which are included in the price of the goods being returned;
6.6 a collection document must be signed by you to confirm that the collection has taken place. The collection document will be provided by the representative who comes to collect your goods;
6.7 you keep the goods at your own risk until they have been removed by our collection agents from your premises;
6.8 if you are not personally available to undertake any of your obligations under this paragraph 6, you may appoint a representative to do so in your place. The representative must be an adult capable of supervising collection on your behalf, and you agree that we will be entitled to rely on the representative's instructions as if they were your own;
 6.9  Replacements will be done when we are next in the local area and customers will be contacted to be booked in as per the original delivery.

7. Collection Fee
